    The Irish Republican Brotherhood was permanently disbanded after a small ceremony in Dublin in 1924.

    End of.

    I refer you to any of the recognised histories.

    The IRB, its men, women, actions and ideals founded our government and all the institutions in this country. They became our state as we know it.
    No, they didn't.
    You need to envoke sovereignty.
    Why do you need to invoke it?
    If you look back, it was the military troops removal from this country that allowed our government to step in (this was the term of the Treaty).
    The Dáil already existed at this point
    I am not aware of an documentation signed by the queen and any one in this country that declared us to be sovereign... If we do not envoke it of our own accord and declare independence tell me then how we became sovereign?
    The King would have signed the Government of Ireland Act in 1921. The 1937 constitution declares Ireland
    This is a Sovereign Democratic Republic, making it different from others.
    No, it makes it the same as the others.
    Why can people not see this? We are so far removed from our history that we cannot even accept that our government established mainly through the actions and ideals of the IRB. Even though we are a republic,to be an outspoken republican in this country is considered a bad thing. We have come to think of it as a bad thing. Its all about obeying authority, regardless of whether they act lawfully or not...
    You do not have to believe, no one has asked you to. Not once. If you disagree, thats your own business.
    No-one said the IRB couldn't do this; we just thought is was odd for so many high-ranking government figures to attend.

    Also, your username means "Free and Love"; I think you mean "Saoirse agus Grá".

    And you had the Home Rule Act 1913 so its arguable what the IRB added to it constitutionally

    Very odd indeed

    It would appear that Mr Billy McGuire has a Scottish equivalent!

    Ladies and gentleman, I give you Mr Peter Dow, self-appointed "Scottish Standard Bearer"

    Oh Lordy


    THE GAA has been accused of inflicting an ancient curse on Ireland which has led to the collapse of the economy and the banks.


    According to Billy McGuire, the self-proclaimed keeper of the Sovereign Seals and Harps of Ireland and head of the once-secretive Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB), a new design for the All-Ireland medal which was quietly launched on September 4, 2008, replaced the original Celtic cross design with a "serpent"-inspired logo.


    "We now have a symbol of the serpent. That represents darkness and evil -- that is not right. It is awful to give that on a medal to anyone. Every time throughout history the sovereign seal has been desecrated, plagues and terrible misfortune have always followed," says Mr McGuire, a Limerick landowner and descendant of Sam Maguire, who presented the All-Ireland football trophy to the GAA.
