Liamo - May i suggest that you hold an event to celebrate this occasion, the Oasis in Cabra West should provide a very warm welcome............ ------------- " BFC always gives me a laugh........ " |

The Battle of the Boyne took place on 1 July (Julian calendar) or the 11 July on the Gregorian calendar. The 'Twelfth' Malarkey comes from the Battle of Aughrim   |

Aughrim was a bigger battle with far more dead and injured. The Boyne was a mere skirmish between inlaws in comparison.

He did. William was an ally of Pope Innocent and his successor Pope Alexander against the French. The Church financed half of his army and equipment, and it was celebrated as a Catholic victory in St Peter's Square and other European cities. ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

Routed in the end but most of the day the battle hung in the balance. A lot of the defeated forces fell back as sell and eventually resulted in the Siege of Limerick and eventually a treaty.

We don't care that they burn our flag, elected reps posters or GAA flags. Couldn't care less. What we do care about is being lectured by the great and good who tell us we should be more tolerant and inclusive. If we just be really nice, talk nice and show interest then the Unionists will come around. We know because we live it every day- they will never come around so it's pointless.
