Irish neutrality is an area that has long been mis understood and mis-interpreted. The majority of people are very opinionated but know very little on the subject. Our Government has made decisions that will affect us without any referendum or regard for public opinion. But were we ever really neutral? The time has come for the Irish people to make a decision.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Donegal man Paddy Harte is to get every county in Ireland tio write a book which details the names of all those who died in World War One. Every county is to have its own Book of Honour . There was on Honour in the WW1,only SHAME and more SHAME, this man is how going to go into the schools,this is when he has to be STOPED.Our kids have to be protected,this man is saying there is Honour in that War, that war slaughtered the whole youth of europe at the time.Lets STOP this man.Any one who thinks, as I do and wants to have a go my No. is 074 97 30972.
The dead of the first world war and every other war should be honoured and remembered not ignored and Ireland shouldn't be neutral - neutrality is the refuge of the coward!
Anyway the Irish capitalist class have never been neutral they have always supported the interests of imperialism, so stop kidding yourself.
Look it toke more bravery to stand against the war than to go,the Irish people had their say in 1918,the vote was against the war, and imperialism ,now we must not move away from that.
What's with the link to the club orange web site?
If Paddy Harte wants to write book and it sells well, give talks in schools and gets an audience from interested schoolchildren, that his private business, readers' private business and schoolchildrens' private business. If you dont want to commerate WWI or read his book or listen to his talks thats your private affair. Im not particularly interested either - I'll catch the movie.
every country that sent young men into harms way remembers their war dead, Ireland is the only exception, thankfully over the last few years some politicians such as Mary Robinson have begun to correct this.
