I don't know where your statement is coming from. The statement has made no sense at all. Can you please reply to me with answers to the below questions:
How is it "an indication of the political opportunism" by the leader of Fianna Fail, Bertie Ahern, not to wear a poppy? And what does he gain politically by doing this?
What is wrong with Bertie Ahern commenting that "he would not wear a poppy because it was not part of his tradition"? How does this go "to the core of the present attempt by his administration to normalise British rule in Ireland"?
Where does he link "the Easter Rising of 1916 with the slaughter at the Somme"?
Where is "the attempt by the failed Good Friday Agreement to normalise British rule throughout the island of Ireland”?
“the last sixteen months have been the most glorious in the history of Europe .. It is good for the world that such things should be done. The old heart of the earth needed to be warmed with the red wine of the battlefileds .. When war comes to Ireland, she must welcome if as she would welcome the Angel of God”
December 1915
Note - just months after the 16th composed of southern volunteers had lost 3/4 of its men at Suvla Bay (Gallipoli).
If Pearse could welcome such slaugher why can't nationalists today?
Thank god there are so few of these old dinosaurs still around. The link between the two is obvious to anyone with half a brain.
All this about a Sommeis the most hypocritical, Paddy Hart had two Sinn Fein councillors from Donegal over with him last year, when they launched a poppy with a shamrock in the centre of it, we were to wear this poppy to commemorate the Irish man of all religions who died in World War I. The Queen of England and the President of Ireland unveiled a round tower to these men. The President of Ireland should not done that in our name,the people of Ireland rejected the the first world war in the 1918 election and that should be respected for all time. The average age of those who died in the war, was 17 years and 8 months that is an obscenity,.
