I live in the village where Yeats lived as a teenager and where Maud his lover also lived, he wrote lots of poems about her. There is a plaque in front of his house. The name of the village is Howth, where I am a tour Guide.

And the first sentence of "Finnegans Wake"--which is a continuation of its last sentence--mentions "Howth Castle and Environs."

Henry VIII did not leave the Roman Church to divorce Anne Boleyn. The woman he divorced was Catherine of Aragon, in order to marry Anne Boleyn -- whom he subsequently beheaded.

I was working in a butcher shop just outside of Buffalo NY. My employer and his son were Polish immigrants. My parents came from Ireland. Thinking me arrogant, Vic Jr reeled off many accomplishments of the Polish people. What did the Irish ever do...he asked. I was 17 and had no ready answer. I went home asked me dad, he said we were great talkers...My mother grabbed a book of poems by Yeats and asked me to read them. I was hooked. Vic Jr, he had a point, So I asked him to name all the Polish Presidents of the US...I told him the Irish were dreamers. All the butchers in the shop were Polish Jews that survived the second world war. Strange place Buffalo.

There's an anecdote I heard once recounted by O'Casey in an interview. As his play was being hooted down by the outraged audience, Yeats stood up and bellowed "This is Mr. O'Casey's apotheosis!" which shut everyone up. Though certainly grateful, O'Casey said he had to look up "apotheosis" later at home.

I agree with the comments pointing out factual mistakes & mispronunciations of names & places & gratuitous unpleasant remarks about Ireland & the Irish. The most remarkable comment was near the end when the claim is made that Irish people weren’t capable of grasping the significance of Yeats or understanding him properly. I have to say it is the author of the script who is ignorant with respect to Ireland & the standard of education & intelligence of Irish people.

Watched the first 3 minutes - a few corrections - 1. the Irish language is Gaelic, not Gallic; 2. their is no Church of England in Ireland - there is the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of Ireland (protestant); 3. it is not that Catholics were not admitted to Trinity (where I went to college), but that the Catholic Church forbade Catholics to go there.

What inaccuracy! Henry VIII never wanted to divorce Anne Boleyn- he wanted to marry her (and beheaded her later). He severed the ties with Rome when the pope refused to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon.

Gallic? Poetess? Anne Boleyn? Mild howlers, for me. Also, rather binary to call Yeats a Protestant (as if only that or RC) when he held no Christian beliefs at all, but rather animatedly, anti-Christian ones.

In the first 4 minutes alone this narrator hails protestants/English as superior to Catholics/Irish. This is a distorted representation of the culture and foundation that inspired and made Yeats, by a clearly biased Englishman trying to 'claim' the writer. He implies repetitively that Yeats 'was so brilliant, he couldn't be Irish.'

No. It's not the nature of religions to think they are right and everyone else is wrong, it's the nature of Abrahamic religions to believe that. Most religions are fairly tolerant, especially pagan ones.

You attempt to sound learned but you mispronounce every Irish location. I’m sure Yates would turn in his grave to listen to you. The British do their best but fail so terribly at saying Irish names and places. It’s an insult. Please do not discuss what you cannot say.
