1867 - Fenian national uprising begins in Ireland
Candy was a superb actor he could switch between comedy and drama like no other. This scene alone is worth any academy award. RIP big man.

1704 - Penal law ‘to prevent the further growth of popery’ restricts landholding rights for Catholics; gavelkind is reimposed on Catholics (unless the eldest son converts to Protestantism, in which case he inherits the whole); a ‘sacramental test’ for public office is introduced, directed mainly at Ulster Presbyterians
On this day Australias first rebellion took place 225 years ago,led by a co kerryman doomed to failure but brave nevertheless
The Lord Mayor of Limerick, George Clancy, his predecessor, Michael O’Callaghan, and another prominent nationalist, Joseph O’Donoghue, are killed by policemen in Limerick during curfew hours

Limerick doesnt have a ‘lord’ mayor … only the lickspittles who welcomed the Queen (Vic) were awarded that title
Tried? They did murder them ---- It was the walking dead out on the pitch.
The Liverpool fans did nothing on the pitch, that was the paid professional footballers.
Sadly off the field they did as expected, acted like tramps and tried to murder again.
Hopefully they get to do it again this season.
Of course they will, its their 'istory innit.
Brilliant.
That’s picked me right up.
Limerick wasn’t classed as a major urban area when they were handed out by king John,then again Cork doesn’t have a castle in his name either,only lickspittles would have that
Lame.
