IRA burn Protestant orphanages to the ground in Galway

[liamfoley]

Because the State had a responsibility to protect its citizens.

This atrocity was committed under the Free State, what about atrocities committed by IRA under British government? Is the British government responsible & should they pay compensation?

[Fr. Fahey]

If this was true you can sure that you would have heard about it before. There would have been books, RTE documentaries, days of atonement and probably a film starring Juila Roberts.

There are any number of similar 'atrocity' stories about the poor oul Prods who were of course harmless wee crayturs to be sure. Dacent folk.

I think you're missing the point fadder.

An Irish Times journalist accepts war propaganda as truth an incident I have never heard of before and I both know tht part of the country well and have read reams of stuff on the period.
