Alas I was stuck elsewhere! We ought to have an aegis, of each of the eight Irish Infantry regiments and seek funding (National Lottery?) north and south.

museumtom Posted 15 October , 2016 Share Posted 15 October , 2016 Experience shows me they are not interested. Even to get a reply from the powers that be would be an amazing achievement in itself. 100 years is too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 16 October , 2016 Share Posted 16 October , 2016 I reckon they may intend to do something after our 'decade of remembrance', when it is too late and the final total of our Irish dead will be burnt into the minds of poor people as 49,600. They will have to un-learn it. Something will be done before then, mark my words, before Nov 1918, but it will not be done by the powers that be, they will not have a hand, act, or part in it, and as such they will not be in a position to control it or use it to make gain for themselves. I remember a P.A. of a Tipperary Politician you well know said to me;- 'Always remember this, Politicians don't do embarrassment.' Cuimhnímis Íad-We WILL remember them.

Heather Humphreys sent me a nice e-mail. No action though. So I gave her my 10th preference vote. Sea change in Irish psyche? Well it did only take a century.

Top tip - never do a thumbs up in Iran, it is equivalent to middle finger here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
