Well done Kevin , I listen to most of your material and I thank you . In my opinion , now would be the optimum time for a new grassroots movement for evolution in Ireland . We should start a Brehon Party.

[@Alasdair37448]

or at least a party modeled after the Brehon laws not exactly as they were but the same idea given modern context to suit the needs of Ireland today.

[@bridgedora]

thank you, very much. Such care taken to keep this knowledge alive.

Irish Canadian here. Well done and thanks

[@tadhgobrien8744]

Thank you for these lectures. Can I add that England had been invaded by French Norman's in 1066. King Henry the 2nd was French. English was not a used language until centuries later when the Norman's would retreat from France to there final province of Britain. It is only the English today as constituted in Tudor times, want a facade of continuity so it's not recognised by its vessels that England was itself French vessel. The French would join the Irish, but by the end of the Tudor times the English would look at how to "revise" this history to say England was always the invader rather than a land bridge used by Norman French invaders.

Tragic tale of Silken Thomas. There's more weeping in the world than we know.

EXCELLENT! Studying my husband's culture. You are well women, lead, easy to listen to and understand. My first exposure to this information. Well done!!!!!??

[@pobyrnesinger]

2nd time listening. Excellent stuff. Thanks.

[@sacredweeds]

I see so much of this conquest continuing through the 4th world NOW. It is so sad. You mentioned imagine waking up colonized for centuries with your culture stripped away centuries ago how that would feel and yet the first sipping was Christianity. So sad how it continues and continues ... Thank you for your presentations.

[@ronantilly6363]

Its interesting to note how irish people seem totally ignorant of brehon law considering what an amazing part of the history of the island it represents. You’d wonder is it deliberate, do the people charged with administering the present day legal system want us totally ignorant of an alternative that existed since the dawn of time. I’ve been through the entire irish education system and i never once seen brehon law mentioned in text books, one oldest legal systems and it doesn't even get a mention in irish school history books.

[@justusouma1601]

Yes , the current legal system is a highly organised crime syndicate.

[@11abrook]

Things are deeper and darker than we ever knew. King Billy who caused so much havoc in Ireland was Dutch "royalty" who for centuries always did the dirty work of the Vatican. See Mind Unveiled - "BILTMORE UNVEILED: Vanderbilts/Underground Asheville, NC" on YT

[@poppyfanning763]

All roads lead to Rome. The Vatican is a blight on humanity.

[@mikekavanagh8952]

Now We have new Laws every week from the EU,

[@justusouma1601]

They are not laws , they are contracts which you give consent to by Tacit Agreement

[@justusouma1601]

The European Union is a trading name for The Bilderburg Group

Hmmm ; A law that prohibited Irish Catholics from owning a “ battle grade “ horses . Were they called “ Armalite “ horses ?

[@OfTheSidhe]

This is brilliant ! Thank you.

[@oonanicantsagairt5924]

Thank you

[@IrishPhotoArchive1952]

Women should be screaming for the Brehon Laws to be returned to Ireland and get rid of the Confrontational Backward Laws we have imposed on us! Well done and thanks for your efforts.

A more proper title for the video could be "A Reason Why Our World Sucks"

[@johnnygreen200]

Jeremiah Shine machc1234golf Bullshit. Christianity is deeply rooted and entwined in Irish history and culture. Before St Patrick Ireland was a Druidic nation divided among clans who practised human sacrifice and were constantly at war with one another. Irish monks travelled far and wide preaching the gospel. Ireland was a country of saints and scholars. It was the disintegration of Christian values and morality which helped lead Ireland into the very mess we are in today. Get lost with your lies. Only a return to Christ will save Ireland. And that's happening already, there is a renewal. The same story goes for Europe as a whole. The great European culture, architecture, freedoms, democracies, human rights all have their roots from Christianity/Catholicism whether you like it or not. The only thing that protected Europe from the Islamic invasion in the first crusade was Christianity and love for faith and culture. It's the only thing that is going to save Ireland and Europe today. The victory of the anti EU parties in the Italian election, Brexit, Poland etc is only proving this point. De Valera would be turning in his grave with the lack of Christian values and the giving away of Irish sovereignty that is so prevalent today.

[@pirbird14]

Your version of history is factually incorrect on so many points I can't begin to try to correct it all.

really enjoyed your sense of who we are .now more than ever we need a reflective moment in history and seek a better way of treating each other ......seamus og mac cumaigh

[@brehonlaw9751]

Can somebody tell me how Catholicism first reached Ireland? Was it through St Patrick? And what is the significance of the battle of the Boyne? As I I read something quite bizarre about it in a book called "Ireland, land of the pharaohs" I feel a deep deep need to know the truth of this great nation and people, but the more I look into it the more confused I seem to be getting..

[@lukemccann]

Read The Gospels

[@adjjal]

Erm how would reading the gospels help? Seriously maybe I jst don't know and I'm wrong but to me that doesn't seem like it would be that informational about what they're interested in. @BrehonLaw I don't have any answers myself but I'd say jst keep on researching it's cool you have such a big interest, and researching is all we can all do lol.

[@justusouma1601]

St Patrick is a work of fiction. The Vatican came up with that to see how dumb the Irish were and thats been proven.

[@poppyfanning763]

This might give some answers kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHrVindtmc95fpo

Oh I just found this as well, but haven't listened to it yet! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0076z5k

[@artemis12061966]

Correct me if i am wrong...but it seems like the Irish people were betrayed by the Upper classes trying to cling to power, through their sacrifice of ancient Irish culture.

[@justusouma1601]

The island and people were betrayed by greed and control .

[@nicolecharest3998]

Interesting. Freud among others believed that Pharaoh Akhenaten was Moses. He was responsible for bringing monotheism to the world. Apparently the Egyptians did not like him because they liked their many Gods. Pharaohs were apparently taller and had elongated skulls. The Phonecians came by ship and brought alphabet, astronomy, geometry and other knowledge. Apparently southern Ireland was not frozen during the great ice age. So if some of the Irish people survived, the ice age, the great flood , the fall of Attlantis or wathever other cataclysmic event such as describe in A world in collision then the Phonecians coming by ship could of been the Irish. And if the Phonecians became the Pharaohs in Egypt and Akhenatan was Moses then the Hebrews the slave race was Irish. You also find elongated skulls in South America. Of course the Phonecians were suppose to be also maritime merchants so they could of sailed there from Europe to spread knowledge after the great cataclysm.

[@paulgraystone4919]

did the church of rome re write history inventing via the romans,.. the normans used french an latin, even after losing thier french lands under king john.. an under the tuders the english language was now used in church an state after going underground since 1066,.. an yet again under the dutch an german kings who for the first time invent celts,... so 4 waves of history was rewritten,.. for the irish scots english an welsh

Hi Joanna I think WE Irish have been so utterly conquered & colonialised that independence is OK so long as the BRITISH or EUROPEANS are paying. WE will dance a jig to the Pipers tune. We will speak your language & obey your customs & laws. CÈAD MÌLE FÀILTE

[@stephencahill6970]

Poor knowledge of the history of the country, so many errors. Small example, Strongbow was not marriage in Christ church. Stick to the law you are good at it.

[@karendempsey3133]

The O'Diomasaigh Clan were one of the only Irish clans to defeat Strongbow in a battle in the 12th Century...In later years The Clan aligned themselves with the english....
