Kincora outside Kilaloe was their main seat… if the O’Connors did any fucking it was probably only their own women who we had carried off and used as sex slaves for years.

What the fuck has that to do with anything? The Kingdom of Thomond was well established by then.

And people try to say Munster rugby was only a recent phenomenon

Question: why is the Louth accent so fucking bad?

[anon61956325]

You’d be mortified for Wikipedia jockies like @Tassotti - he wouldn’t even know the Gaelic meaning of Thomond.

“Domhnall was a man of realpolitik; his main concern was upholding his position in Thomond and was not against collaborating with Strongbow and others against rival Gaelic kingdoms such as Ossory, Desmond and Connacht.[6] Domhnall even acknowledged Henry II as Lord of Ireland at Cashel in 1171”

Traitorous Limerick bastard.

The Munster fairies defeated the Connaught fairies in a game of hurling for Clare… True story. I wouldn’t expect Tommy tans like the OP to get the reference to indigenous Irish culture tho.

But Munster would have a much bigger pick of fairies.

If they’d left a few Anglo Normans hanging around they’d have had a great chance of beating Tipp at the weekend.

[PhattPike]

Once upon a time, when Ballybunion became too crowded, Limerick folk decided they needed a beach north of the estuary. Thus, they annexed Clare, and Kilkee became part of Greater Limerick. There was no great desire at the time to sit in traffic jams at roundabouts/traffic lights/roundabout+traffic light combinations, whilst being tormented by crusties and culture on the outskirts of one of the world’s most linear cities, so Galway was left undesirable and untouched.

Despite the yearly exposure to dangerous levels of roasterism and the implementation of the world’s longest speed limit at Lissycasey, it remains a successful experiment, with the exodus of Limerick folk to Kilkee each summer briefly increasing the IQ of both counties’ populations.

The O’Briens - Dal Cassian tribe originally of the Deise (cc @Fagan_ODowd) forged their own kingdom in North Munster and eventually were the high kings of Munster… Their immediate kingdom consisted of Clare, Limerick and Tipp with a bit of Cork… in essence Killaloe, as their seat, was the capital of Munster and at one stage the capital of Ireland.

And for one glorious but brief moment, @ChocolateMice was useful in some way and the state saw some return on the tens of thousands it had spent on his education. What a day!

My question, why is ireland a country? Why not four separate nations?

[anon61956325]

Ireland is not a country, yet.

Our colonial past made it one kingdom under British rule, centralized from Dublin - I would have thought that obvious… We would have more than likely have gone down this route ourselves anyway as King-ship had hedged towards a high-king - tho there would have been issues around heredity as the Irish didn’t pass titles on to the oldest son or next inline…
