Thank you for this. I am American, and one branch of my family hails from Derry and the order from Co. Clare. I’m still in touch with cousins in Derry, Galway, and Dublin. My aunts and uncles used to get me books about the Provos and James Connolly and the Easter Rising. So I’m not a Republican either, but I come from…
