Like some, I have on both sides of my family, strong links to the Nationalist cause and to subsequently what became known as the Republican Movement. Kevin Barry's story is heart-breaking. And it is even more heartbreaking to think of what is being done to our sacred land by the mediocre but ambitious sell outs who are bent on destroying us on behalf of the latest shower of feudalists (aka, globalists). I do wonder, however, were we ever really free? I don't think so. I love you, Jim (RIP).

Who's Jim? My Grandad? It is all in the mind. Ignore them and be free.

Jim was my father, interned in 1957. I take your point, however.

Excellent blog, I learned more facinating and intimate insights about your ancestors, and more gaps are filled regarding Irish history, thank you.
