Hello everyone,
I recently put back up the website www.irishconfederation.org - please visit if you'd like. I took it down for several months because I didn't really know if it was serving a purpose. I thought it may be leading people astray ,i.e from the priority of the Catholic faith or from buttressing any of the traditional, say, 1916-21 Irish nationalism that still remains in the Irish people.
I'm still unsure whether its the right move, and I think the concept needs editing to emphasise a vision of an Irish nationalism that is built bottom up, with an emphasis on a kind of localist movement rather than, what the website emphasises, as an identity movement.
There is a forum at federalireland.boards.net/ discussing aspects of a flourishing Federal Ireland. I'm not the greatest contributor to forums so I can't like members of this forum valiantly contribute regularly to it, though if anyone would like to contribute, I will try my best to post too.
I want to thank everyone on the Irish Conservatives Forum as I found twice daily interest and enjoyment in it since it has started.

"And if we infer from our own experience that war paralyzed civilization, we must at least admit that these warring towns turned out a number of paralytics who go by the names of Dante and Michael Angelo, Ariosto and Titian, Leonardo and Columbus, not to mention Catherine of Siena and the subject of this story. While we lament all this local patriotism as a hubbub of the Dark Ages, it must seem a rather curious fact that about three quarters of the greatest men who ever lived came out of these little towns and were often engaged in these little wars. It remains to be seen what will ultimately come out of our large towns; but there has been no sign of anything of this sort since they became large; and I have sometimes been haunted by a fancy of my youth, that these things will not come till there is a city wall around Clapham and the tocsin is rung at night to arm the citizens of Wimbledon."
G.K.Chesterton, St Francis
“… I think of an Athenian Ireland, but of an Athens immensely perfected by the greatness of Christianity”
