Seamus Heaney - The Strand at Lough Beg

Extract from 'Unquiet Graves' - I do not own this video.

I watched this programme with my son, I wanted him to see the suffering people endured in those days. This poem at the end made me cry I had to walk out of the room. God bless all the lives lost.

Hauntingly beautiful. Cried watching this thinking of those innocent people who had their lives took away.

Beautifully sad. Our greatest poet exposed to sectarian (British) state orchestrated murder of his cousin. 20 years later his friend Sean Brown would suffer the same fate by the next generation of state assassins.

RTe were criticized for showing Unquiet Graves by Charlie Flanagan on Newstalk. I think he had to withdraw his statement.

It truly is hard to believe they did this to our people. A sad reality, hard to come to grips with. It will never be allowed to happen again. RIP to every victim of the Glennane Gang/British State in Ireland.

Is it? They couldn't have done it , without Southern complicity. Dublin Dundalk and Monaghan covered up. 🤔😔

Amazingly poignant
