IRELAND'S BLOODY PAST seen through the lens of Elizabeth Fort, an amazing fortification in Cork City

[@madjohnzoidberg]

This is right up my alley for places to visit. Thank you

[@nakedireland]

I’ll try to bring you some more similar films. Thanks for watching.

Nice video. Looking forward to the one about the neighbouring cathedral seeing as I used to work there.

[@nakedireland]

Ok, I better get all my facts right then or you’ll pull me up!

[@desmcharris]

Thats was great! What surprised me was when in Cork I never knew of it!!! That was back in the early 80's. Thank you again.

[@nakedireland]

Yeah, well as I mentioned it was a police station until relatively recently and then they had to decide to turn it into a tourist attraction. So yes, I remember being in Cork in the 90s and not knowing about this place. But what a history. If those walls could talk!!

[@desmcharris]

Your right! In the 80's I was avoiding cops like the plague! Not going around looking for them! Such a history though. I know my Dad was in Cork during his service in the Irish Army during the Emergency. Wonder if he was there? Rough end of the pineapple for many, that entered it involuntarily. Sydney's Barracks if you were lucky.

[@nakedireland]

⁠Yes, I fear it wasn’t a welcoming place for most people.

Intersting video

Many thanks Patricia.

Thats my kinda place. So much history, you can just imagine what it was like back in the day. Superb views from it, I never realised Cork was so flat. I look forward to the video on st fimbarr 👍

[@nakedireland]

Thanks Rob, yes St Finbar's in a few weeks maybe.

[@WelshRob1964]

@@nakedireland I know its gonna be another great video Greg, I do enjoy the building/history ones you do, as well as the town walks. Keep up the good work bud 👍

[@nakedireland]

⁠I’ll try, it’s hard work - not enough hours in the day. I enjoy the pub videos more 😂

[@DidYaServe]

It's not flat. It's just that the middle of the city is built on an island. The north and south sides of the city are very hilly.

One of the last men sent to Australia as a convicted Fenian felon was most likely a relative of mine(?).. we share the same surname.. Kenneally.. RIP John…

[@nakedireland]

Do you know if he was sent from Elizabeth Fort? I guess he was. I wonder what became of him in the new world?

[@FergusJohnston]

You sound like Greg Caffrey...

[@nakedireland]

Ha ha Fergus, good to see you here.

[@nakedireland]

Excuse my ignorance, but I’m not familiar with the Game force of Nature?
