'During the troubles in the North, we didn't see anyone coming up from Dublin with flags' | Newstalk

[@Jim54_]

When talking about modern Ireland, one thing that needs to be mentioned was how a Protestant Irish Parliament successfully gained independence for Ireland between 1782 and 1800, during which time Catholics got most of their rights back, with most Irish people of different faiths uniting under the ideologies of either constitutionalism or Republicanism, with both in favour of varying degrees of Irish sovereignty/autonomy and increased personal rights. This independence ended when a failed Republican Revolution in 1798 led British prime minister William Pitt to intimidate and bribe the Irish Parliament into merging the Kingdom Ireland into the UK after an initial Union vote failed. Ireland’s Parliament was forced to merge with The British one (though the courts and civil service of Ireland remained separate, but nominally subject to Westminster from now on). People on both sides seem to have completely forgotten this chapter in Irish history, because Protestants and Catholics fighting together for an independent Irish Kingdom doesn’t fit anyone’s narrative, and yet it had a major impact on the island. Unionism, Republicanism and Constitutionalism all originate from the original Irish volunteers that used the opportunity of the American Revolution distracting Britain to revolt in 1782. This heralded the independence and has shaped all aspects of Irish politics, ever since!

[@geroutathat]

The republican movement would have collapsed without Dublin. The amount of support given by Dublin was next to none. Saying that, the support from the rest of Ireland was also high. Had the rest of the republic dropped support the movement would have collapsed, had the north dropped support etc, it needed all 3. Every single criminal in Dublin had to pay dues to the IRA or INLA, all the door security in Dublin paid money to the IRA or INLA. Tallaght was a huge INLA/IRA stronghold for a while and is still struggling with the fall out from that.. Everyone knows what happened in Dublin if you didn't support the north, you ended up like the general, dead. I'm not trying to glorify the situation, thats just how it was in Dublin during that period. Pearse street had an IRA pub even right in the city center. I'd like to know if an IRA commander from the troubles time told them that Dublin never helped. Or did they mean "we never heard Dublin accents in west belfast, having been born after the peace process began". Which i would find hard to believe seeing as we know for a fact that they go up and down doing hits for drug dealers these days. Dublin would be a lot better place today if it told the north to handle it on their own, the amount of organized crime that sprang from it has lead to misery in Dublin.

[@Chadleyization]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this dude is 36, which would make him a child when The Troubles were winding down, so not sure what his recollections of those times are. Having said that, I didn't bother watching this video, because Pat Kenny is a C U Next Tuesday and I'd rather watch and listen to my granny constipated on the toilet than lose minutes of my life experiencing Plank Kenny ever again. Him and Newspeak FM are as credible as North Korean state media.

[@AnnemarieMcDonnell]

Well said 💯

[@geroutathat]

Yeah, but they are just belfast. Belfast gave us the biggest rats ever. Most of the people who set up the stuggles came from outside the north, once the stuggles were setup, belfast stepped up but not as much as the rest of northern Ireland. It would work out like this 50 from rest of north, 30 from belfast, 30 from south, 2-3 from scotland, 2-3 from england, 1 from England of known proven republicans. The south had many more unproven. I know busses left from Dublin to go up for northern Irish protests, however I cant speak if any went to their road. Take them at their word. I think it would be hard to find any true republican from the troubles who would say Dublin/South offered no help at all. I'd say it would be the opposite with them being thankful for help from the south... If not Dublin, then monaghan, dundalk, kerry, cork, louth. etc. Most of the south organised through Dublin.
