Irelands legendary mythological tale; Táin Bó Cuailgne or The Cattle Raid of Cooley in English is now available on Cartlann.org. The oldest epic in Western Europe, An Táin captures the ethos of Ancient Ireland and it's people, translated into English by…
Ernie O'Malley in ''The Singing Flame'' - book about his experiences in the Civil War - describing when Free State Troops were searching his safehouse - where he was hiding in a hidden room behind a wardrobe - kneeling on one knee with a revolver in hand to pray for courage and thought about Cuchulain in the Táin as the house was being searched
''And when Cuchulain saw the feats Ferdia had performed, he said to Laeg his charioteer: ‘If defeat be my lot this day, do thou prick me on and taunt me and speak evil to me, so that the more my spirit and anger shall rise in me.’

Lmfao - Ernie O'Malley accidentally shot Áine O' Rahilly, sister of "The O'Rahilly” - in the chin during the confusion of the darkness and she pretty much just tried to smile at him to keep going and nevermind it haha
Ernie O'Malley describing the moment during his escape when he was shot 3 times - each time he was shot the tough bastard kept trying to continue.
He was hit over twenty times (three bullets remained lodged in his back for the remainder of his life).
A priest gave him Holy Communion + anointed him with sacred oil, he was given a little whiskey to which Sheila Humphrey's commented ''You’re certainly the most lively wounded man I’ve ever seen.’

Ernie O'Malley on the arrest of Erskine Childers during the Civil War.
The Free State made up propaganda of Erskine being an English spy due to his English heritage - Ernie tried to defend Erskine outlining all he had done for the Irish Nation against the barrage of insults being thrown against him by Free State Guards in the barracks he was held captive in but most of the guards were ex-British Soliders / WW1 Vets not IRA men & they bought into the propaganda to which Ernie notes
''I heard men in the ward quoting Churchill''
as Churchill in a speech the day after his capture, had ‘seen with satisfaction that the mischief-making murderous renegade, Erskine Childers, has been captured’.
Four young lads were then executed by the Free State followed by Erskine later as the new laws were brought in to execute any man with arms to try crush the Civil War and as a response to the killing of Michael Collins.
Sadly too, the gun that Erskine Childer's was executed for possessing was a gift from Michael Collins

The actual great grandchild of Erskine Childers is crying because he said the N Word in the 1900s and wanted an Ireland for white people. This is absolutely pathetic. Imagine being descended from such a man and thinking this and having this much self-flagellation

Sadly, his descendant is a self-flagellator as Erskine believed in a white Ireland to which his great grandchild feels was evil and racist.

Before his execution he shook hands with the firing squad. He also obtained a promise from his then 16-year-old son, the future President of Ireland, Erskine Hamilton Childers, to seek out and shake the hand of every man who had signed his death sentence. His final words, spoken to the firing squad, were: "Take a step or two forward, lads, it will be easier that way.''
Ernie O'Malley on the moment when still recovering in hospital he heard the news of the execution of Liam Mellows, Rory O'Connor, Joe McKelvey and Richard Barrett in an act of vengeance against the killing of Seán Hales and wounding Pádraig Ó Máille.
Hale's brother was fighting on the Anti-Treaty side and was with Liam Lynch.
Couldn't imagine Ernie's feeling at this moment as he was with them when they all surrendered after the fall of the Four Courts at the start of the Civil War but managed to escape capture meanwhile the 4 lads were in prison only to be woken up from their jail cells on the morning of 8th Dec 1922 and told that they were going to be shot.
Ernie must have felt that he should have been with them.
