    Gaelic irish warfare

    @ Mr. AJFitzpatrick. What you say is very true, thank you for your input.  Do you think that if there was a unified strategy that Ireland would have been more stronger militarily.  It seems that this idea was of not having a unified strategy goes further back than the English invasion. Yet as...
