Irish Ways (1988 Documentary about the IRA and the Troubles in Northern Ireland) (COMPLETE) Duration: 3164 Date: September 21, 2012 Views: 173391 |
Irish Ways (1988 Documentary about the IRA and the Troubles in Northern Ireland) (COMPLETE)
IRISH WAYS (1988) focuses on daily confrontations between the British Army and Irish Nationalists. It reveals discrimination in housing and employment, and laws permitting arbitrary arrest and imprisonment of Irish nationalists. The film investigates the pervasive atmosphere of fear and mistrust - constant surveillance of neighborhoods and business districts, television advertisements encouraging citizens to report suspicious neighbors to British troops, and the commonplace bombings and shootings.
Giving voice to soldiers on both sides and to ordinary citizens who must live in wartime circumstances, IRISH WAYS provides important background to the continuing civil war over Ireland.

Rory Mcilroy - Being Number One (The best of Irish)
In dept interview with Rory McIlroy ( I do not own this video) Also if anyone is offended by the Title, Tough, get a life. It seems to be today that it's ok to refer to Rory or Gmac as Northern Irish. Why didn't they call Padraig Harrington as Southern Irish ? Why ? Because it doesn't exist. There is one golfing union in Ireland not 2. Also anyone that represents Ireland at amateur and Professional level get's financial support from the Irish Tax payer and not a single British pound in sight.

The Irish Pub - Trailer
Trailer to Feature length documentary on the Irish Pub and the characters that own them.
www.irishpubfilm.com
The Irish Pub film is a eulogy to the greatest institution in Irish society, the pub or more specifically the Irish traditional publican. These characters come from a long line of family generations to run and own their family pub. It is interwoven into Irish society. The famine, religious persecution and cultural enrichment all started and ended in the pub. The stories these men and women tell capture days gone by and it is feared these will be the last in a long line of family publicans who lived and died in their pubs with little interaction beyond that point.

SYNOPSIS:
Based on the idea that people are the very essence of a city, this documentary attempts to show Dublin from the inside, giving back to the people what the city owes them. We, people, are the ones who make the city. We make Dublin, We are Dublin!
To illustrate this, we have interviewed three people, Anne Bedos, Aidan Kelly and Morgan who are dedicated to Dublin.
Anne Bedos is French and is the founder of Rothar, a bicycle recycling organisation which restores old bikes, put them back on the road and also promotes bicycles as an ecological means of transport.
Aidan Kelly is an Irish photographer who works on a project called "This Place", which consists in black and white photographies of Dublin with a written text on them and which represents the love and hate relationship he has got with the city.
Morgan is an Irish artist and has been involved in a number of charity projects in the city. He is passionate about his work and loves his city. All of them contribute to make Dublin the city we live in, the city we love. We make Dublin, We are Dublin.

Biggest Prison escape in UK and Ireland History - IRA Breakout (Documentary) Duration: 3537 Date: November 27, 2013 Views: 107165 |
Biggest Prison escape in UK and Ireland History - IRA Breakout (Documentary)
The Long Kesh/Maze Prison escape (known to Irish republicans as the Great Escape) took place on 25 September 1983 in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Maze Prison (previously known as Long Kesh) was a maximum security prison considered to be one of the most escape-proof prisons in Europe, and held prisoners convicted of taking part in armed paramilitary campaigns during the Troubles. In the biggest prison escape in British history, 38 Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) prisoners, who had been convicted of offences including murder and causing explosions, escaped from H-Block 7 (H7) of the prison. One prison officer died of a heart attack as a result of the escape and twenty others were injured, including two who were shot with guns that had been smuggled into the prison. The escape was a propaganda coup for the IRA, and a British government minister faced calls to resign. The official inquiry into the escape placed most of the blame onto prison staff, who in turn blamed the escape on political interference in the running of the prison.

Voices from the Grave - The Troubles (Full Documentary) Duration: 5003 Date: November 28, 2013 Views: 112244 |
Voices from the Grave - The Troubles (Full Documentary)
Award Winning Documentary. Some consider it the Best Documentary of the Troubles.
The story of the Northern Ireland Troubles through the unflinching testimony of two men who played key roles on opposite sides of that bloody conflict. Nearly ten years ago the two paramilitary leaders told their stories on condition that they could never be revealed while they were still alive. The stories told by the Irish Republican Army's (IRA) Brendan Hughes and Ulster Volunteer Force's (UVF) David Ervine tell us of the motivations of the participants, the planning of campaigns of violence, the misery of a hunger strike, the tracking and killing of informers and the duplicity that ended a conflict that had lasted too long. It is also a narrative of the fate of combatants when their wars are over.

UK and Ireland's Most Notorious Serial Killers (BBC Documentary) Duration: 3513 Date: November 28, 2013 Views: 92835 |
UK and Ireland's Most Notorious Serial Killers (BBC Documentary)
The Shankill Butchers is the name given to an Ulster loyalist gang—many of whom were members of the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF)—that was active between 1975 and 1982 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was based in the Shankill area and was responsible for the deaths of at least 23 people, most of whom were killed in sectarian attacks. The gang was notorious for kidnapping and murdering random civilians from the Catholic community; each was beaten ferociously and had their throat hacked with a butcher's knife. Some were also tortured and attacked with a hatchet. The gang also killed six Protestants over personal disputes, and two other Protestants whom it mistook for Catholics.
Most of the gang were eventually caught and, in February 1979, received the longest combined prison sentences in United Kingdom legal history. However, gang leader Lenny Murphy and his two chief "lieutenants" escaped prosecution. Murphy was killed in November 1982 by the Provisional IRA, likely acting with loyalist paramilitaries who perceived him as a threat.
According to Conor Cruise O'Brien, the Butchers brought a new, frightening level of paramilitary violence to a country already hardened by death and destruction. The judge who oversaw the 1979 trial described their crimes as "a lasting monument to blind sectarian bigotry".

Michael Collins - Irish History Documentary Duration: 2941 Date: December 4, 2013 Views: 39679 |
Michael Collins - Irish History Documentary
A key leader in Irish History and a great Documentary about his life. Part of Ireland's Greatest Documentary series by RTE.
Michael Collins (Irish: Mícheál Ó Coileáin; 16 October 1890 -- 22 August 1922) was an Irish revolutionary leader, Minister for Finance and Teachta Dála (TD) for Cork South in the First Dáil of 1919, Director of Intelligence for the IRA, and member of the Irish delegation during the Anglo-Irish Treaty negotiations. Subsequently, he was both Chairman of the Provisional Government and Commander-in-chief of the National Army. Collins was shot and killed in an ambush in August 1922 during the Irish Civil War.
Although most Irish political parties recognise his contribution to the foundation of the modern Irish state, supporters of Fine Gael hold his memory in particular esteem, regarding him as their movement's founding father.

Ancient Warriors - Episode 13: Irish Warriors (History Documentary)
Ancient Warriors - Episode 13: Irish Warriors (History Documentary)
This Ancient Warriors series from the Discovery Channel is an excellent look at the warrior groups and armies that shaped history.
Each half-hour episode looks at a major fighting people or force and charts the reasons for their rise to dominance and subsequent fall.
The warriors highlighted are: The Assyrians, Celts, Normans, Legions of Rome, Macedonians, Soldiers of the Pharaoh, Spartans, Janissaries, Huns, Knights Templar, Vikings, Highlanders, Irish Warriors, Maurya Warriors of the Elephant, Aztecs, Samurai, Shaolin Monks, Hawaiians, Ninja, Sioux.
There are 20 episodes and almost all include re-enactors hacking and slashing at each other with great abandon. Some are better than others but, overall, the series is first-rate.
The scripting is good, filled with interesting detail, and each programme follows one soldier and his life in the army. Not all of them end happily, it has to be said.
People who are interested in warfare throughout the ages - or the specific warrior groups themselves - will appreciate this series.

The Best of West Ireland: Dingle, Galway and the Aran Islands Duration: 1561 Date: May 14, 2014 Views: 70457 |
The Best of West Ireland: Dingle, Galway and the Aran Islands
Deepest Ireland is best experienced on its west coast, in the Gaeltacht — where the people speak Gaelic and the rugged villages have changed little over the generations. After exploring the rugged and remote Aran Islands, we settle into Galway, chase a friendly dolphin, and delve into Ireland in the extreme, along the Dingle Peninsula. Ringing with traditional music from its rustic pubs and dotted with prehistoric "fairy forts," this region is something special. If you're to fall in love with Ireland, chances are it'll be right here.

Paddy Whacked - Irish Mob Documentary Duration: 5388 Date: September 5, 2014 Views: 39040 |
Paddy Whacked - Irish Mob Documentary
The Irish Mob is the oldest organized crime group in the United States, in existence since the early 19th century. Originating in Irish American street gangs of the 19th century—depicted in Herbert Asbury's 1928 book The Gangs of New York—the Irish Mob has appeared in most major American cities, including Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Twin Cities, and New Orleans.
rish-American street gangs such as the Dead Rabbits and Whyos dominated New York's underworld for well over a century before facing competition from other, primarily recently arrived Italian and Jewish gangs, during the 1880s and 1890s. Although gang leaders such as Paul Kelly of the Five Points Gang would rise to prominence during the early 1900s, gangs such as the Hudson Dusters and the Gopher Gang would remain formidable rivals during the period.
In the early 1900s, with Italian criminal organisations, such as the Morello crime family, encroaching on the waterfront, various Irish gangs united to form the White Hand Gang. Although initially successful in keeping their Italian rivals at bay, unstable leadership and infighting would prove their downfall. The murders of Dinny Meehan, Bill Lovett, and Richard Lonergan led to the gang's disappearance by 1925, and the waterfront was taken over by Italian mobsters Vincent Mangano, Albert Anastasia, and Joe Adonis.
The Winter Hill Gang, a loose confederation of Boston-area organised crime figures, was one of the most successful organised crime groups in American history. It controlled the Boston underworld from the early 1960s until the mid-1990s. It derives its name from the Winter Hill neighbourhood of Somerville, Massachusetts, north of Boston, and was founded by first boss James "Buddy" McLean.
While Winter Hill Gang members were alleged to have been involved with most typical organised crime related activities, they are perhaps best known for fixing horse races in the northeastern United States. Twenty-one members and associates, including Howie Winter and his right-hand man and bookkeeper, Salvatore Sperlinga, were indicted by federal prosecutors in 1979. The gang was then taken over by James J. "Whitey" Bulger and hitman Stephen Flemmi. Decades after the disappearance of James J. "Whitey" Bulger, a rise in recruitment and strong family ties prompted the return of the Irish Mob under the supervision of Bob Hogan and the Winter Hill Gang. New faces were recruited from as far south as New York in places like Hell Kitchen; and as far north as Maine.
The Westies are an Irish American gang hailing from Hell's Kitchen on the West Side of Manhattan.
The most prominent members have included Mickey Spillane, Eddie McGrath, James Coonan, Mickey Featherstone, and Edward Cummiskey.
In the Irish/Italian Mob War of the 1970s, the Irish mob saw an increased threat from the Italian Mafia as the Genovese crime family sought control over the soon to be built Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. Since the convention center was located in Spillane's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, Spillane refused to allow any involvement by the Italians. Although the Italian gangsters greatly outnumbered the members of the Irish mob, Spillane was successful in keeping control of the convention center and Hell's Kitchen. The Italians, frustrated and embarrassed by their defeat to Spillane, responded by hiring a rogue Irish-American hitman named Joseph "Mad Dog" Sullivan to assassinate Tom Devaney, Eddie "the Butcher" Cummiskey, and Tom "the Greek" Kapatos, three of Spillane's top lieutenants.
Also around this time, a power struggle between Mickey Spillane and James Coonan a younger upstart from Hell's Kitchen emerged. In 1977 Spillane was murdered in a hail of bullets by assassins from the Genovese crime family. This prompted Coonan to form an alliance with Roy DeMeo of the Gambino crime family. The Genoveses decided that the Westies were too violent and well led to go to war with and mediated a truce via the Gambinos.
Coonan was imprisoned in 1986 under the RICO act. Featherstone became an informant after his arrest in the early 1980s.
