He was the 4th person. 3 got on board, joe had chest pains, went back to his cell, and the chopper landed in the yard, about 1978/79✔ (alot more to it ) Id recommend it to any readers ✔

Sad thing is there is a new threat in Belfast

[@niallireland2940]

And the men that was once meant to stand for Ireland and the Irish people are now the ones facilitating this threat

A worthwhile watch indeed.....fascinating history. And if anyone knows what the music is at 51.04 then I would luv to know...thank you.

[@oliverflanagan7623]

Wonder what he would make of shin Fein today 🤔

[@fF-jb4gs]

He'd be ashamed

[@waynepower766]

Well said to the man at the end

[@Herttoi]

@waynepower766 not to contradict you my friend, but I don't think anyone involved, forgot the suffering, that ordinary people went through. At least I hope not. .I p feel a sense of despair sometimes, when I see the way commenters on conflicts that have escalated in recent times , like the Israeli/ Hamas conflict, seem to view it as if it's a sport, ie. the suffering of a mother, on one side, upon being presented with the corspe of her child, is less or more, than that of the mother on the other side. God grant them all his mercey.

Holy crap......i thought we had it rough over here back then. Those cops were........bruutal 😟😢😮

​@@ProfileP246what's the point of independence if they'll just hand it over to migrants and the EU? I'm a pro Irish royalist, but this guy has a point.

[@irvy78]

The speech joe gave to save face with the IRA,and the fall out with Rory etc ,is it not like Collins and DeValera all those years before

[@michaeloconnor9809]

Seamus Mallin hit the nail on the head when he declared" The Good Friday Agreement is Sunningdale for slow learners".

[@StevenWeitkum]

What is necessary and the best course of action at one point may change over decades. Armed struggle was necessary imo at one point. Critics will say the dont have a united Ireland. Well they certainly wouldn't have had a IRA man as deputy minister in the 70s. Sinn Fein wouldn't have had the reach it has now. You have a small catholic majority in Northern Ireland and i dont see the british holding on forever. Who's to say continued violence would have improved anything. Unless you're conversing with the almighty I doubt anyone has those answers.

[@irishcoffee5412]

Joe!

[@RobertOtoole-jo5bg]

Joe had a pint of guiness ,while the boat was been loaded 😉 with whithey bulger in Boston,mid 70s, he was told to cancel coz the skipper,/captain was a 🐀 , but to eager, he went ahead and he got caught on that boat, ✔ got a sentence for gun running

[@Steve-er3kh]

It was one of libyas runs that happened on. But they were caught coming from America as well, look it up
