I hear der Fuhrers relative worked in the Shelbourne.

Wow

Yeah it's a nutty one all right. But it's not as if our glorious old sod wasn't fond of the fascists.
Wasn't Dev one of the first heads of state to commiserate the Reich on the loss of herr Hitler.
Our bishops giving the Roman salute to the blueshirts off to fight for Franco in the Spanish civil war is a famous image. (Forgive the lack of a link I'm feeling lazy and enjoying some beer.)

And Mugz, as to why nobody has really mentioned the Swastika Laundry, I would imagine it's good old Catholic shame. I think every family of our current generations has personal knowledge (whether first or second hand) of the laundries or mother and baby homes.
My own middle name was the birth name of a boy born in a mother and baby home. He was born to my uncles girlfriend and taken for adoption during my own mother's pregnancy. I have a cousin out there I've never met and never will.
Sure it's a great little country.

I remember my old man telling me about seeing their vans around Dublin in the past, I didn't realise it was that recent (he was born in '39, I thought he was referring to the '50s or '60s). Odd one alright.

De Valera being Jewish himself puts a different spin on the Nazi thing...

I found this a bit mad when I came across it:

I found myself having a temporal blip the other day- some teenage girls were listening to Muse on a portable speaker two benches down, and there was me tapping away, rocking out, and they started chatting away, and then they asked me for any recommendations for other 'retro' music..and it was like the 2nd to most recent Muse album too.

Jews/clues/Muse... Matt Bellamy is a Devalera clone

Its bizarre where people from Irish history turn up. I remember reading somewhere a good few years ago about a restaurant in either Pakistan or Afghanistan where meals were named after martyrs to the cause against Western imperialism. You could order, I shit you not, a Bobby Sands burger.

Yeah there's a Bobby Sands Street in Tehran too, the British embassy is beside it
