Well, Conal Gulban is meant to be buried in Leitrim (founder of Tír Chonaill). Good job he died, or if he expanded the auld territory, I might be form Donegal.

Still, got to hand it to the Uí Néill, they were randy fuckers!

They were ALL randy fuckers!

And whats to say we're still not...

I find it quite simple that they use a map with a line with a dividing line and counties.

That line is only 85 years old.
Counties have only been here a few centuries aswell.

How many centuries ago is the article based on?
It would have been a lot more relevant and suitable to use a modern-day version of a map of the time of Niall etc..

Domhnall, I know this is a bit off topic but I wanted to tell you that I read that grand speech that you toke your quote from. I came upon it a couple days ago on some website and I theroughly enjoyed reading it because it conveyed well, in my opinion, the importance of the situation, I already knew it was important but still. Anyway I think it is a great quote.

Go raibh míle Ríona a chara,

A great speech indeed.. Still as relevant today as 125 years ago.

There's an abundance of the likes of that around.. Have a look around and you'll find one for your signature!!

"I've already got a signiture,"

Wha? You don't have a signature on this forum.
My signature is 'A people without...'
