We missed this. Anti-war activist Ciaran O’Reilly delivers an old skool slice of oration to people waiting to have a gawk during the Dublin visit of six NATO warships during the 1916 Commemorations.

O’Reilly was one of the five people who smashed up some US military hardware down in Shannon in 2006. He talks about how the British and US military maintains its empire with a comparison to the indiscriminate Helga shelling of Dublin city centre during the rising.

Meanwhile, the religious affairs correspondent at the Irish Times wrote an article about the visit under the headline “Fun For All The Family.”

Warships! What bants!
