Extracts:
Far from being poor, Ireland was actually a rich country, one of the richest in Europe. Income per head was on a par with the Scandinavian countries of Norway and Sweden before we won our Independence.
... we started to carve out our own 'Gaelic' Identity separate to that of the British we rejected those things that reminded us of our ofter turbulent relationship .such as the 250 000 Irish men that fought in the Great War were edited out of Irish history the fact 50 000 of them died showing their loyalty to the Crown.
It has been calculated From 1700 to the end of the First World War, almost 2m Irish men died fighting for British kings and queen.
Irish civil servants largely administered India ,the number of Irish decorated with Victoria crosses is per-capita higher than any other country.
We conveniently ignore and edit out the part Irish people played in the British Empire how its Army and Navy were at times majority Irish . There is a saying in Cork that the "Royal Navy ships are all metal on the outside and all Cork on the inside!"
