    Has no bearing or basis in fact. Dev did nothing to free Ireland his only aim was to enrich himself by stealing from Irish people in American and from the Irish people for the rest of his miserable life. He is responsible for the deaths of thousands during civil war and also during the more recent Troubles in Northern Ireland.

  • Very very poor. Avoid this podcast.

    I tried to listed to the George McElroy podcast and I’ve never heard anything so inane, basically stupid and thoughtless, it was tiresome to hear a potentially very interesting subject dumbed down to such a level, I could not understand anyone getting enjoyment from it. The subject of the First World war and the sacrifices made by those who fought and died was not given the respect it absolutely deserves and the two presenters have shown they no idea of what they were talking about.
