History Ireland

At the start of the war de Valera told the British representative, Sir John Maffey, that Ireland would provide all possible help short of war. It was arranged that Irish coast-watching stations would report to Dublin by radio so that the British could listen in. This may have appeared even-handed, as the Germans could listen in too, but they were too far away to act on the information. Later, all reports were encrypted in a code secretly supplied by the British. Thus the Irish were effectively reporting directly to Britain. The Royal Navy was permitted to station the Robert Hastie, an armed tug, at Killybegs, Co. Donegal, for air–sea rescue purposes, and the British were offered similar facilities at Cobh and Berehaven. The British sailors had only to cover the guns and wear civilian clothes while in port. The British were secretly allowed to set up radar stations near Schull, Co. Cork, and near Malin Head, Co. Donegal. In addition, they were allowed to station a spotter aircraft at Foynes to look for German U-boats. Those were only some of the ways in which the Irish quietly helped.

"and after being approved by the occupying powers"

As I said.

How many other countries have their constitution "approved" by "occupying powers" .

No, not as you said.

You’re a delusional fantasist....

I work for a company with a big Milan presence. They are always winding up the Sicilians. "You are not Italian". The Sicilians get very upset by this.

If NI, Scotland, Wales etcetc. want to leave then let them.

Obviously a chance Scotland might not vote in favour of leaving the UK. So this time, let the whole of the UK vote on if Scotland should leave or not.

I think losing Scotland would be a great pity. Look at the inventions that have come from Scotland in the last 150 years. But I am sick of the whining.

Especially when there's the hint of a German accent...
