2 years before my parents divorced we went on one last vacation together as a family. We basically flew to Ireland, rented a car and drove across the whole country. It was the best and most memorable vacation I’ve ever had. Things that really stuck with me were the kind, humorous and overall generous people everywhere you go. Breathtaking nature and scenery… endless green fields with cliffs and hundreds of old castle ruins to explore. In the cities and villages there is joyful music at every corner, every pub. I will never forget this country and I hope I get the chance to visit Ireland again.

As a descendant of 1798 Irish rebels that were sent to Australia, I am very happy that the 1798 Rebellion is remembered. It has to be remembered also that both Catholics (like Michael Dwyer) and Protestants (like Joseph Holt) fought against anti-Irish tyranny in Ireland in 1798. Éirinn go Brách!

[@tomgreene2282]

The writer of this song was a Fenian.

[@schmickaussie1038]

@@tomgreene2282 Yes, it is interesting that the writer, John Keegan "Leo" Casey, was imprisoned without trial for eight months in Mountjoy Prison. Casey was released on the understanding that he would leave for Australia and not return to Ireland. However, he chose to stay on in Summerhill, Dublin in disguise, living as a Quaker and continuing to write and publish in secret.

[@tomgreene2282]

Thanks for reply. Casey , of course was not out in '98 He was a Fenian. Linking this song to the Fenian rebellion would , I think be more likely.

[@schmickaussie1038]

@@tomgreene2282 Casey based the lyrics on the failed 1798 uprising in Granard, County Longford. The ballad has been in circulation since circa 1865, two years earlier than the Fenian rebellion of 1867. The ballad refers to the outbreak of the 1798 rebellion, as United Irish rebels convey the order to rise. The air of hope and optimism associated with the ultimately doomed rebellion was intended to provide inspiration for rebels preparing to take to the field in the rebellion of 1867. The song says that "pikes must be together at the rising of the moon" to engage in rebellion. Civilian pikeman, though outnumbered and outgunned, were active in the 1798 rebellion. This was especially so in the Wexford Rebellion and in Dublin, the pike was useful mainly as a weapon by men and women fighting on foot against cavalry armed with guns. Improvised pikes, made from bayonets on poles, were used by escaped Irish rebels during the Castle Hill rebellion in Australia in 1804. Weaponry had improved by 1867 and pikes were obsolete and their use was far less effective and not as noteworthy.

[@WallStwizkid]

"2 great Catholic countries" Must you bring religion into this? I'm an American with some Irish ancestry, and my Irish ancestors were Protestant.

[@WallStwizkid]

@Gael 20th Century sectarianism has muddied the waters that is Irish history so that to most people today, it is strangely ironic to conceive that Irish nationalism was born of the words and deeds of men like Jonathan Swift, Edmund Burke, Wolfe Tone, Lord Edward FitzGerald, and Charles Parnell -- all Protestants, but all revolutionaries who paved the way for home rule (Hell, Lord Edward gave his life for it.) My own ancestors, despite being Anglicans, despite serving as officers in the British Army and Navy, and despite owning estates in England, supported Catholic emancipation at a time when it was perceived as a threat to British and Dublin interests. There is this tendency to assume that Irish identity has always been static and that sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland is between all Protestants and all Catholics. But there was no deliberate attempt to tie Irishness to Catholicism until the late 1800s. (The Reformation failed in Ireland because the Protestant clergies failed to incorporate the Irish language into their religious doctrines, not because Catholicism was woven into Irish patriotic identity.) And the tensions in Northern Ireland are mainly between Protestant and Catholic fundamentalists, not Anglicans and mainstream Catholics. The Irish people write Anglicans out of their history at their own peril. The best of modern Irish literature, philosophy and scientific achievement were produced by Anglicans. Anglicans also salvaged most ancient Irish language texts at a time when they could've easily been destroyed.

There's alot of fools who go on about igniting a revolt and all this but in the North people are just trying to get by.

huh and to think all my great great grandfather had going for him was living in a tiny town in central Virginia. i know i have Scottish and Irish ancestors like one was the Scottish warlord summer and one was the Irish princess he marries but i don't know which ancestor between them and my great great grandparents came to America and i cant ask my great grandmother since she has Alzheimer and my grandfather knows nothing about this and we cant bridge the gap due to them having terrible records pre-1900's

[@ciarancassidy7566]

Well you're welcome to come. Be aware though. You might find the climate to be a little jarring especially in winter. Almost nowhere gets more rain than Ireland.

[@ciarancassidy7566]

@Matthayi Naalaaman Well, I suppose you're right. What's worth remembering is that while Ireland doesn't have the sheer volume of rain that monsoon areas get we don't have a dry season. So while it may not rain as heavily it rains far more often. In some parts of Ireland it rains 2 thirds of the days. It's a unique climate generated by the gulf stream. So in a way you're right, but in Ireland you'll get almost the same climate every month of the year and sometimes we don't get a summer.

I think that it is not just the sounds but the significance of the History that should make us pause and remember the ones that walked before. The story of the 1798 Rebellion in music takes back on time in which the brave fought. Thank you so much for an amazing song.

I'm Aussie, living in Mindanao Philippines with my native Higaonon wife, but I had Irish blood on my maternal grandmother's side. I have always loved Irish music. Now I introduce it to my family here in Mindanao! I've recently sung for them "The Fields of Athenry" and "When you Were Sweet Sixteen"!

[@johnoconnor4623]

Brilliant to hear that you are doing that. There are so many songs to sing of freedom and betrayal too, one that springs to mind is "The Croppy Boy" and surely a sad song of a lad whom the brits executed "Kevin Barry".

[@gaufrid1956]

@@johnoconnor4623 I even managed to find a version of this song on the Wesing online karaoke, and of course I had to sing and post it. My Irish roots are dating back to the 1800's, but I'm not sure when the Cregan family, my grandmother's maiden surname, emigrated to Australia. My guess is somewhere around 1850, most likely due to the potato famine in Ireland. So much oppression, poverty and famine in Ireland in the past! A similar story here in the Philippines, only the Spaniards were the oppressors. Perhaps that is also why I hear a similar feel to some songs in Tagalog and Cebuano here. That same sad lilt found in much of Irish music is evident here too.

I can say that (as I an Irish person) the Irish do share a lot in common with the Italian people.The love of language, strong maternal influences, directness, willingness to dig deep to get to the bottom of things and, of course, political corruption. The list goes on! Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino are my heroes and I love watching interviews of these men; it gives me hope. Sono stata molto colpita dal loro coraggio. Saluti da una bellissima Irlanda oggi!

One of my ancestors was an Irish conscript from Dublin, William Kamells, forced by the English to go and fight in the failed invasion of Buenos Aires in 1807: he was wounded, became a prisoner, and was taken in by a family until his wounds were healed: when he had recovered, he preferred to stay in what was to become later Argentina rather than go back to Ireland and suffer the English oppression.
