Talk by Kevin Myers, Airfield House, Dundrum, Dublin 14

The official history of Ireland pre-1921 has emphasised minor peasant revolts and natural famines at the expense of it’s long and glorious history as a proud constituent of the British Empire.

State recognition of the role of Irishmen in World War was finally granted on July 1st 2006, and a talk detailing this long journey ,"The Great War and its Consequences in Ireland" will be given on Tuesday 7 November by Mr. Kevin Myers, esteemed Irish Independent columnist and champion of the traditional family structure. He has long waged a noble struggle to reclaim some of this shamefully neglected history with his campaign for recognition of Irish soldiers who participated in the Great War of 1914-18 and indeed for all Irishmen who proudly wore red or khaki to keep China British.
