And it only took SF a fraction of that time to do the on this island
I fail to see what Arthur Griffithâs party did to this island?
I rest my case.
So you think we should be still part of the union, mate? Thatâs fair enough. We all know where we stand now.
Excellent observation. Because one doesnât vote Sinn Fein. @ChocolateMice assumes one is a unionist. Brilliant
Iâm just trying to establish what your banging on about - the first Dail of 1919 was made up of all Sinn Fein men which you claimed to have caused untold damage to Ireland - can you clarify your position please - youâve so much venom against the founding fathers of our state what eles would I presume except that you are another John Bruton
Thatâs not what I said. Go back and read the posts. Youâre reeling so much at the moment, youâre liable to meet yourself at the front door.
Take a breather pal
Iâm reeling ??? 
Sigh

The state did nothing either which is the larger crime. Remember that almost all members of Sein Fein (the ones that survived) went on to become career politicians in FG and FF. The government funded and oversaw all of these institutions, Industrial schools for example were under the Dept of Education and monitored regularly by officials, Tuam was funded by Galway County Council, etc.
Iâm not defending the church, they had a lot of evil people in their ranks and facilitated and covered up their crimes. The state is more culpable though in my eyes though, as they were elected to serve the population, including its most vulnerable, and failed miserably.
Itâs easy to look back and judge, we didnât live through the decades after independence, the depression years, the economic conditions of the time. It should be pointed out that, bad and all as the Irish state was, their contemporaries across Europe were rounding up and slaughtering millions at the time, mostly in response to the same economic conditions.

Says the people who raped and killed babys party
Nice post. The young lads here havenât a clue about what went on in those times. They forget that the likes of Tuam was a direct result of a new republic, an improvised one that was finding its feet after 800 years of oppression. The Brits starved us during the famine and also left us to starve our own in the early days of independence. Yet they admonish the freedom fighters thatâs we owe so much to.

Thereâs nothing that boils my piss more than cunts on their high horses saying you canât excuse it because of the times that were in it. The same cunts if they had to endure a day of what people went through back then, would slit your throat for a bowl of soup.

Little prissy cunts thatâd cry if they saw an hours hardship or a dayâs work. Easy to spot the lifelong students here alright. Aye. and plenty of time on their hands to think about how bad the church is. Little fucking spoiled bastards.

Says the man that has been ran by two old dears continuously ⌠whose 11 year old daughter bullied him into buying her an iphone, and brought his mrs to stay in a brothel in Galway to save a few bob - Donât be on here giving out because youâre a weak cunt.
So youâre willing to excuse every well educated middle class priest/ nun for not speaking out because it was âthe timesâ ?
Iwon Mike defending the Nazis and the Papist murderers is bizarre
