Are the Irish getting remembered?

[Waterways]

I,m of Irish extraction and that Liverpool has a vast and rich Irish foundation and connection.

Not another one who thinks Liverpool is apart of Ireland on the English mainland.

[Waterways]

No good, I cant hear you. it must be the recist im ignoring

Did you mean racist? Very odd as I have Irish blood in me. I must be a strange racist. I don't live in fantasy land and see things as they are.

[Waterways]

Its amazing really. this city has no Irish connections,

It does in descendancy of a minority of the people. We have few direct connections with Ireland as most people who have Irish blood have lost contact with Ireland completely and blended in with others.

Still cant hear you

Must be all that diddly-dee music you go on about in my ears

For the rest of us who live on planet earth this could turn into an interesting thread As stated before i think the river walkway could have statues to all of Liverpool culture settlers. Scottie road would be a great place to remember the Irish, as so many lived there in those early years.

P.s Racist ( corrected typo ) need not reply to this thread

[Waterways]

Oh and i dont think Paddy and Mick jokes are funny.

It's how you tell 'em.

A Presentation of

Cesca’s Diary 1913-1916

by the author Hilary Pyle

Thursday 21st February 2008 at the Institute of Irish Studies
1 Abercromby Square at 6-00 p.m.


Frances Georgiana Chenevix Trench was born in Tuebrook, Liverpool in 1891 where her father was the Anglican vicar. She became a convinced Irish Nationalist and Gaelic Leaguer deeply involved in the cultural revival as the movement for Home Rule developed. She was an associate of such as Piaras Beaslai (also born in Liverpool), the poet Æ and Douglas Hyde, founder of the Gaelic League. She trained as an artist and her work is in The National Gallery of Ireland, the National Library, and in private collections. Her diaries tell of her life during the first two decades of the twentieth century, a crucial time in Ireland’s history. That life was tragically cut short by the influenza epidemic soon after her marriage to Diarmid Coffey in 1918. Hilary Pyle has edited her diaries and produced a limpid biography of this extraordinary young woman.





Dr Hilary Pyle RHA, Yeats Curator at the National Gallery of Ireland, art critic
and biographer, has published poetry and biographies of James Stephens, Jack B Yeats and Susan Mitchell.

Scottie road would be a great place to remember the Irish, as so many lived there in those early years.

Is there also an Ireland Road where we can remember the Scottish?

[lindylou]

I was going to mention not to forget the Scots too


Lottie where are you ?

[Ged]

She's gone to Wales for the day.

[Steven]

She had a nasty experience with a HAGGIS on 25th Jan - Burns night. She was out hunting the little monsters when........................ I will let Lottie tell you what happened.

Couple of choice quotes I spotted whilst reading this latest chapter of Waterways' "how to make friends and influence people" thread ...

They asked why I was not in a kilt being a Burns. I told them I don't go into it as I am a Liverpudlian first and foremost and really don't feel Scottish at all. If I did I would live there.

Tell me, whereabouts in the country *do* you live?
The above comment suggests it must be Liverpool .....

This Liverpool Irish was probably invented by someone living in Surrey.

D@mn those southern scousers ...
At least you don't live anywhere near Surrey ... otherwise the validity or your opinion would surely be in question
(by yourself, according to that)

The only bigot I can see is you. Don't push your obsession with Irishness onto us.

Bit confused as to who the 'us' is in your scenario .....looks like it's pretty lonely on your side of the table at the moment.

[Max]

Don't see how Waterways Is bigoted, he hasn't made any blantant Insults towards any Irish.

He just has views that may sound harsh to some.

So were Galileo, Winston Churchill, Tesla, etc.

We are not Irish, we are Liverpudlian - haven't you noticed?

They are the ones with the harsh views, they are trying to make out we are something we are not.
