A Little Place Full of Nationalist / Republican History In Belfast
A Little Place Full of Nationalist / Republican History In Belfast
A brilliant place, they taught Irish there, which under the Northern Ireland special Power’s Act was illegal  and if caught you risked getting  six months in Crumlin Road Jail.

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED TODAY ON MY VISIT TO THE MARIAN SHRINE IN KNOCK COUNTY MAYO (6th August 20018)
