Just look at O’Connell Bridge this day in 1949!
It was also the day we officially left the commonwealth.
We never looked back !!

God, thats some picture.
Fuck the Commonwealth!
I’d say that was some night
Well lets be honest – part of Ireland became a republic.
And with that mighty cheer went up from the heroes of the republic, for they had banished the awful north forever…..because it was haunted. Now let’s all celebrate with a cool housing crisis.
Cairnes ale was bought by Guinness and ceased brewing in 1959.
Why isn’t it our national holiday and not fuck St Patty’s Day?
Looks better back then
Love all the signage on the tops of the buildings, strong ,clear and simple. would love if we could go back to this style and enforce rules on the ascetics of shop signage. vape and phone repair shops are the bigist offenders.
and thats my take on this post about our independence
That picture moves me in ways I can’t explain! So proud, imagine what the atmosphere must have been. The Rising was still a living memory.
Downhill ever since…😔
It’s amazing how fast we managed to make an absolute **** out of things
It’s sad that we don’t celebrate it, but then again we are missing 6 counties
Sesh of the century I reckon
The only square bridge in Europe, last I checked anyway
Did it tho🤫
The sad part is that this action only further copperfastened partition, which is why Fianna Fáil opposed it at the time
I’d say it was some craic that night though
Now it’s where the junkies and muggers hang out.
Hard to see a republic surviving the demands of 1 million unionists in a shared island. Some sort of compromise over Head of State will be demanded and granted.
Good news.
The 26 counties became a republic.
