Irish history is a tricky subject in Ireland, so much so that for all intents & purposes it has been removed from the secondary school syllabus, in fact if I were to recite what I learned in school to a class of history students in Trinity today, they might laugh & accuse me of being a history revisionist, a terrorist sympathiser. Irish history is being rewritten but not by me! The old narrative, while it served its purpose, no longer suits the modern states image of itself. It was only after a brush with the Irish legal system in 2013 that I began putting the pieces of the puzzle together for myself, This page serves as my dump, I’m relieving myself of its weight by dumping the findings of my investigation onto you, If you choose to read on.
Eire leaves the Empire is the title of the above 1949 newsreel but did the empire leave Ireland? An article recently appeared in the Journal (8 December 2020) which claimed
Council confirms Lord Iveagh has repossessed historic Iveagh Markets in Dublin DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL has confirmed that the historic Iveagh Markets in Dublin 8 have been repossessed by Lord Iveagh. “The long-running saga over the future of the redbrick market building on Francis Street has taken a new twist after the Council was informed today that Lord Iveagh – who is a descendant of Edward Guinness, 1st Earl of Iveagh – had invoked the ‘Reverter’ clause contained in the original Deed of Conveyance from 1906. “
Hang on a second, WTF is an English Lord/Absentee Landlord still doing in Ireland in the 21st century? or at least I hope that was your reaction, The truth is you will find a plethora of evidence that the British titled family’s who laid claim to the majority of this island remained long after the claims of independence, right up to current day. I grew up knowing that if someone wanted to hold a gig in Slane Castle, they had to clear it with the English lord. I knew that another British lord occupied Lambay island but further discussion or thought about this was suppressed by my own incredulity, if there were contradictions then surely my peers would have figured this out long ago, the press would have been all over it, Growing up when i did, the age of information & the internet was still a long way off, without this resource I could never have put the puzzle together for myself and neither could they, You may be wondering why your elected representatives in Dublin City Council have not brought this to your attention, I don’t know for sure but my current opinion is that it is a mixture of ignorance and/or vested interest. Crooked politicians won’t surprise anyone reading this so lets examine the institution. Dublin City Council, formerly Dublin Corporation was not created “by the people, for the people”, I’m assured by their Law agent that the Council was created in 1539 by Henry VIII’s royal charter & letters patent. It was created as a type of property management firm on behalf of those titled absentee lords, It is a law unto itself by virtue of its original charter. If the Ringsend incinerator fiasco taught us anything it is that the council is absolutely controlled by a city manager and not those elected to the council. Regardless of party affiliation we would have to question the motives/ competence of those seeking election the next time they appear at your doorstep. Are profits made by the council funnelled back to absentee British landlords? In the 21st century would any of these titles or charters hold any weight under international law? Recently the state announced it was to invest €100 million in Rosslare to cope with the increased port traffic as a result of Brexit, However early reporting suggests that the plan ran into a snag, it’s owned by another British absentee landlord, lets see what golden nuggets of information fall from this one.
It appears i’m not the only sniffer dog on this trail, i recently met a man from Donegal who has unearthed crown claim regarding Lough Foyle, below is a link to an article he wrote on the subject. I would really love to hear from others who have also turned up evidence.

I knew a woman who worked as housekeeper for a “big house” in the Midlands or Meath. She always felt nervous coming home to the West because of republican views. She was working for Princess Michael of Kent!!!!!! Another friend has told me that most of Shop Street in Galway is owned by absentee English landlords. It is unbelievable!!!
