As Billy Connolly would say, "It's not the principle It's the money".

jeremyj1968 · 23-09-2019 2:44pm

Is that a stereotype Joe? Could you imagine if I said the same thing about a Jew?

shearforce · 23-09-2019 2:44pm

25k and he didn't sell it

....actually, yeah that didn't happen

McDermotX · 23-09-2019 2:44pm

Fair fcuks to you mate !

Sloppy attempt by Duffy to guilt him.

withless · 23-09-2019 2:45pm

Joe alpha'ed by the Glasgow chap pretty easily.

The whole tale sounds dubious.

I'm sure the cleaning lady was lovely, but why exactly would someone who risked their life in 1916 give away such a symbolic relic of the Rising? Even back then, the flag would have had clear political significance.

Sounds like his great-granny was a bit of a make-up artist.

There were so many people in the gpo that week there couldn't possibly have been enough flags to go around. . .

Dan Jaman · 23-09-2019 2:52pm

Let the power of EBAY decide.

this is incredibly boring

23-09-2019 2:53pm

"Dignitaries", like local TDs?

Maybe he doesn't realise that's common in Ireland even today, even if the politician never met the deceased. Maybe it doesn't happen in Dublin any more, but it probably did in 1956

Maybe she was a cleaner in the gpo after the rising. In fairness it was some mess.

Someone beat him to it and wrote the book about flags said the lady from Collins barracks.

Young man of 63. :rolleyes:

So somebody in their 40s is young and somebody in their 60s is also young.

Interesting bit on the RTE history show last night about the republican courts and so on in 1919. Apparently in places like Roscommon, they were far more occupied with fighting over land and land grabbing rather than the national struggle. Thus it was always.

I heard that. Was amused at the remedy, when the disputees wouldn't accept the court's verdict - maroon them.

It was usually the second or younger brothers that joined the Irregulars, if there was land in dispute. And then the Land Commission itself was turned into an agency to seize and redistribute lands right up until fairly recent times, which was often overtly political.

The role of competition for land-ownership in the Civil War and the first 30 years of independence was absolutely hugd, and and is hardly ever mentioned. It wasn't taught when I was in school. As a society, we seem to prefer to cling to national myths about republicanism and identity, but the truth is a little more practical.
