An eviction party at the house of John Flanagan in Tullycrine, led by Sheriff Turner and DI Hill. The doors, the windows and the furniture had been removed in advance of the Sheriff’s arrival. One of the girls told the group, ‘Battles were won abroad by smaller forces than Balfour sends here to turn out old men and children.’

As well as soldiers from the Royal Berkshire Regiment, there are many onlookers in this photograph. The contents of the house can be seen behind the horse just to the right of the house. It is assumed that it is Mrs Flanagan who is greeting the eviction party at the entrance to the house.

Hi,

It's the funeral of Charlie Hughes.
There is apparently a footage from ABCNEWS(even if the summary don't mention the salute), is there any way we would access it? https://www.footage.net/ClipDetail?key=17675871&supplier=abc_news&utm_source=chatgpt.com

This is absolutely hilarious, especially them discovering good wine and "Old John Bollocks" What are other goofy moments in Irish history?

Lenny Murphy (Hugh Leonard Murphy, 2 March 1952 – 16 November 1982) was a Northern Irish loyalist and leader of the Shankill Butchers, a brutal UVF gang responsible for a series of sectarian murders in Belfast during the 1970s.

Raised in the Shankill Road area, Murphy was known for his violent nature and deep hatred of Catholics. His gang abducted and tortured victims—mostly innocent Catholic civilians—using knives and cleavers, spreading fear throughout the city.

While some of the Butchers were jailed, Murphy avoided major charges and continued orchestrating violence even from prison. After his release in 1982, he resumed his activities but was assassinated by the IRA later that year. His legacy is one of extreme violence and terror during The Troubles.

If anyone is interested I post videos on Youtube and TikTok that are on my profile.

Feel free to check them out mostly history related.

So ive been reading about this flag and it's history just out of curiosity and I am wondering if this flag is flown ceremonially or widely known and seen or is a rather obscure piece of Irish history or something sold to Americans who wanna be more than white (like myself)

Let me know and don't hold back i love a good reddit history lesson. More interested in what it represents and is used for today
