Ceremony marks handover of power to first Irish govtToday marks the 100th anniversary of the formal handover of power by the British to the incoming Provisional Irish Government. How can anyone who calls themselves Irish entertain this farce? Disgusting and heartbreaking all at once. Using violence to achieve unity must never happen again....ever. However Ireland is not independent. Part of it is but the aim of the people from Wolfe Tone to Michael Collins is yet to be fully realised. Build a new Ireland, where all its children are cherished.
