A surprisingly concise/impartial commentary considering the source. Well worth watching for anyone interested in Ireland and Irish history. Although, it does bear mention that, judging by his incessant hand wringing and oddly placed gold ring, James Dillon is likely a Mason and recipient of Creepy-Old-Fucker-Of-The-Century award.

I've noticed that every irish retelling of Irish history is uselessly biased. And every British telling of Irish history is respectful and accurate.
