[QUOTE=“croppy_boy, post: 926133, member: 306”]On a more serious note I’d go with either of the following:

Surely they were British injustices?
The Bridget McCole case has to be up there.

The injustice was committed by the British Judicial system but the saga would be part of Irish History (see section ‘The Troubles’) however.
That those horrible cunts that were the Progressive Democrats, led by the Heifer Harney, were allowed pull the plug on the Bertie Bowl.
For what was a mere €635m. we would have had an excellent set up, pools, veledromes, stadia, the full works as would have befitted our international standing
[SIZE=2]at the time. [/SIZE][SIZE=4]Instead we eventually put €65bn. into failed banks and that again into assorted failed bog-holes. [/SIZE]
they way an ignorant irish populace blamed the soldiers of destiny (fianna fail, including tániste elect timmy dooley) for a global collapse
I would have thought the biggest injustice in modern Irish history was brought on by the Irish people themselves, in continually voting in politicians we knew were corrupt and who eventually fucked the country up.
That and Andy Reid’s wilderness years from the Republic of Ireland squad.
Sound country lads getting pulled over by a guard for driving in a bus-lane.
Fucking outrage
That bent ref doing us out of a spot at the 1982 World Cup during our qualifier with Belgium.
Thierry Henry’s handball.
Kirwan and that penalty.
the fact that denis irwin played for us
Michael Lowry being hounded out of FG, the lost leader.
Offaly winning the '94 All Ireland. There was only one team that played on that September day, and it wasn’t them.
The appointment of Martin O’ Neill and Roy Keane in his place
The Dooleys mugged you lot off good and proper that day. Joe Dooley has 3, Gary Kirby has none.
The way Clare were robbed of an All Ireland in 1998
I was a naive 10 year old in Croke Park that day, had started to make my way down towards the sideline to invade the pitch when the ref blew the whistle. This was just as Johnny Dooley was taking his free. Then, they got the second goal, Pat O’Connor I think. After that it was The Billy Dooley show, god he was putting them over from all angles. Every Joe Quaid puck-out was returned in kind back over his bar. I was in floods of tears by this stage. Never been so distraught at a match before or since.
I lost my innocence that day, 5th September 1994. Some people lose theirs to a dirty magazine or a curious girlfriend. I lost mine to the Offaly hurlers. Yabba Dabba Dooley indeed.

It made a man of you that day.
Actually Billy Dooley put over points from just one angle that day. He almost stood in the one spot, unmarked, and took ball after ball, and fired them into the Hill. At one stage he looked even too knackered to swing the hurl. Those 5 minutes would fill out an Irish “30 for 30” all on their own.
would the people of Limerick surrendering to Cromwell be considered a modern day injustice
No mate.
The sending off of Jared Payne.
