I am also the last survivor of the clan and when my time is up I would hope to see their country uniter again. Its been a long and hard struggle and if anyone can accomplish this and over come the hatred the loyalist have for the Irish its you. I am putting my faith and support in your hands.A friend forever.

As well as supporting Irish reunification I'm also fighting the partitioning of England into regions, the only basis on which we are to have any degree of devolution from the Brits at Westminster.<br /><br />I fully support national movements in Ireland, Scotland and Wales but I feel it is in _their_ best interests to treat England as a single unified nation and one which has a separate identity from the British. A devolved English nation could be a powerful ally to nationalists in other nations.<br /><br />I beleive it is necessary for nationalists in all the nations of these islands to co-operate in breaking British unionist resistance to recognising nations, whether its the one on that island or the three on this island.Sarah Lavendernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5004730508631468243.post-15393051035221055642009-10-21T15:47:11.252+01:002009-10-21T15:47:11.252+01:00hi, i enjoy reading your blog, i was living in ire...hi, i enjoy reading your blog, i was living in ireland for a few years and still have many dear friends there, as a basque nationalist i agree with the republican movement and support a united ireland.<br />i hope the republican movement can start working soon with a date for a reunifacation referendum, that will i think make happy many people in the island, a goal, a date.<br />i know that some unionist would totally disagre but i belaive that a united ireland has a place for them too.<br />anyway lots of luck and many thanks for your blog.a basquenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5004730508631468243.post-58996838503388886692009-10-20T22:47:30.860+01:002009-10-20T22:47:30.860+01:00You have hit the spot Gerry, true and center. The ...You have hit the spot Gerry, true and center. The obstruction to be surmounted is both inmatereial and very real, in facts."We want justice for all", this a democratice truism, a united Ireland can stand on.I feel also that the economic and political dynamics in Ireland today make Irish reunification a realistic goal. I will be looking for the Twitter use in this up and coming March St. Patrick's day, and other use of new social media. I offer any help as a international business and communications specialist. I can stand with your words on the post, a good strong work, and to the point.Timothy Doughertynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5004730508631468243.post-19575055386694704242009-10-20T21:23:28.547+01:002009-10-20T21:23:28.547+01:00Does Sinn Féin oppose the euro?(and why?)Does Sinn Féin oppose the euro?(and why?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5004730508631468243.post-65265209087509528952009-10-20T17:09:17.928+01:002009-10-20T17:09:17.928+01:00Focal ar bith maidir le Acht Gaeilge, a Ghearóid?
