For some the Anglo-Irish War is viewed through rose-tinted glasses, a heroic struggle against an Imperialist monster and the Civil War a brave and honourable attempt to disentangle the country from an ill judged Treaty that did not deliver on the nation’s aspirations. But there is a much darker story to be told of the often innocent men shot as spies and made to disappear. In The Name of the Republic is a two part documentary series following eminent Historian, Professor Eunan O’Halpin as he explores this dark side of Irish republicanism. At the spine of the story is a dig at one of the burial sites which Tile Films have exclusive access to.

If a change is not done quickly (a simultanious takeover) or is done in the sneaky way the socialists did (by infiltrate every authority and secure being the majority there); a total failure is the most common result, because the enemy (foreign regime) will have time to grow, plan and have the unbeatable power to win .
Of course, nobody will talk, because they were afraid , it was ingrained in their dand a, it followed them through their families and their jobs.
Comment on the UKRAINE please
Is he going to fly away by flapping his ears. 🤣🤣🤣
Well got a compromise imho didn't fully win until 1940s.
They villainies the IRA england started this the republican army was fighting for their country!!!!
My grandfather, a McGarrity, tried to arrange with the Germans to invade Northern Ireland, to rid our country of the blight of British tyranny.
One of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen on the IRA and the invasion of Ireland. Boy those guys were absolutely ruthless. I’ve never heard of Sing Sing prison in Cork,but it’s definitely on the bucket list to see when I go over to Cork next. Where is the bog/forest where they executed all those people?
Terbaik sahabat terima kasih perkongsian video nya.semoga terus sukses dan terus bersemangat 👍👍💪
Any chance of exploring the dark side of unionists and the tories and how many people disappeared under their watch or how about just getting them to own up to the atrocities they are responsible for
Up the UDF
It all stems from the Brits stirring the population up and creating dangerous factions as a reaction to their presence. The IRA was a potential solution but it called all the wrong people and filled its ranks with murderous bandits who stalk and intimidate. Even members that were doing this for noble reasons would get corrupted.
Ireland now ruled by Brussels repopulated by forced immigration and led by the dictates of tyrants. Sold out by Sinn Fein / IRA, traitors to a man.
Does anybody know the names of the two tans in Sing Sing at the end of part 1. My great uncle Bertie and comrade were abducted by the IRA in November 1920. They were subsequently executed. Their bodies were never returned at the end of the war of independence.
Re-listening to Jim Fitzgerald retailing of the story, he mentions that the two were picked up at Emmett Place. This is consistent with the official narrative. The portrayal does appear to be of Bertram Agnew and Lionel Mitchell.
And now, with immigration, native Irish are about to become a minority in their own country in 30 years…

Within 2 minutes you know it’s going to be biased.
An excellent documentary by a thoroughly humane & decent academic.
Lizzy in a box 🇮🇪🤝🇺🇸
I wonder what the motivation of the pro-British Irish was … were they endeared to the British thru something akin to patriotism ? …or were rewards offered for information ? … should have included this in your otherwise very good documentary
Off subject, they’re COLLAPSING the US $$$ get your CASH OUT NOW!
Would any proud Irishmen desire Ireland to still be a British colony? The blood of the Civil War was on mostly British hands and was funded by British money.
Another gombeen historian who believe wars can be fought, won and lost, without atrocities and civilian casualties. There are no clean wars. War, and those engaged in prosecuting it, is a barbaric affair. War brings out the worst excesses in humans, be they military or administrators of that war. The warfare in Ireland of 1918 to 1922 wasn't special. Neither were the atrocities on all sides. They were typical of wars of independence across Europe and the world, included among them Finland's independence and subsequent civil war. Ireland, under Gaelic laws and rule, existed for over 1,700 years before the Act of Union with Britain. Lots of wars, local and wider, between Gaelic tribal dynasties through the centuries. Wars against the Norse, the Franco Normans, and later the Sasanach (Germanic Angles and Saxons, later to evolve in to the English). There's no doubt millions died in the collective of these wars, in battle, "collateral" deaths, persecution and famine. You will hear crickets among most historians in Ireland about this 1,600 year plus period in Irish history. There seems to be an obsession with Irish independence and the "blood lust" of those who fought an enemy to win that freedom. These same historians seem to have no issues with Irishmen involved in wars and civilian atrocities wearing the uniform of the British crown. After all, orders are orders, and refusal to obey orders subject to military discipline and consequences. It is unfortunate that many historians in Ireland, like Eunan O'Halpin, approach worthy subjects like this one with a baked-in, politically motivated agenda rather than an open and neutral mind that followed the facts and understood the barbarity that is war in all its forms.
Soo anglo-occupants was tortured and beaten to death! they tasted their own medicine. What’s the problem here? The only problem here is existing of Anglia nowadays. But this is a temporary issue
I have great admiration for those that fight for themselves and the ability to control their own destiny. Nevertheless, I nothing but scorn and anger for the Irish Troubles and the insidious way they destroyed so many families! It always seemed to me that too many people were killed for just trying to live their lives on their own terms by people who demanded that all give in to their demands!
The minute you cited Peter Hart your credibility went out the window

Bang out of order
I don't know how much time I will have to deal with this channel as I have other priorities bike spreading the good news and the truth about what's going on now especially with the New World Order that will take over most people and euthanize 3 billion as prophesied. Anything to do with the History Channel I always take the meat and spit out the bones because they are biased and don't always tell the exact truth. I'll give it a little while longer but I'll probably unsubscribe because the History Channel has done a lot of damage with its twisting of the truth and bias reporting
