  1. Ireland is still not free but when it becomes free I will be the first to let you know!

    The British withdrew from 26 of our counties, hence forming the so-called 'free state' in 1922, but 6 are still occupied.


  2. WE ARE STILL NOT FREE.

  3. Ireland is not free, it is divided. It will be united and free when Britain leaves the occupied six counties for good and ends the torment......"Ireland unfree shall never be at peace"........

    Support an end to foreign occupation.

  4. The partition of Ireland was in May 1921, as you can tell from the other answers, it's a complicated thing.

    The North (the counties that are considered part of the UK) was gerry-rigged to create a pro-British/unionist Majority that stands to this day.

    The actual republic (the South) was declared in 1949.

  5. "Prior to the Government of Ireland Act 1920 and Partition Ireland had been a unified political entity within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland which came into being in 1801 as a result of the Act of Union. From 1541, the Kingdom of Ireland was established by the King of England, though this realm did not cover the whole island till the early 17th century. Up to then, Ireland had been politically divided into a number of different Irish kingdoms (Leinster, Munster, Connacht, Mide, Ulster, and others). Before the advent of the Normans the different kingdoms were augmented by a High Kingship. The extent of power or influence of the High Kings throughout the entire country varied from reign to reign.
