So many irish people worked in the uk in the 50,60 70 80. And have never get any credit for it. Every time I go on the London underground I think of all the irish man that helped to billed it.but on the underground there's know plaque to there memory.

The black lion 1980s with Brian from County Tyrone. The rebel songs on Thursday night after getting weighed in at the bar - 2% for the boys. skint. Tired and a long way from home. I'm not from Ireland but worked with them on the underground at monument Station.

@@johnmccaughey2722 Song is tongue and cheek about the man but the company he started (he died decades before the time this song is referencing, 1939) Robert Mcalpine Limited (construction/engineering company) is based in England and that's where many an Irishman migrated to work on projects. Fusilier is a military term for a regiment that carry flintlock muskets, so they were Mcalpine's army carrying shovels instead of weapons. He also also mentions working for Wimpey and John Laing which are both large construction firms based out of England.

Correct, and a descendent of of Irish settlers who came from the Northern part of Ireland fifteen hundred years ago. Of course then they were called Scots, The clue is in the name Mac, or Mc, ie son in Gaelic. Bruce Fume, who has a channel is a good source of info for stuff like that.
