Cathal Crowe, a Deputy from Clare, faced backlash for remarks made regarding the British army's historical actions in Ireland. He later apologized in the Dáil to victims of British terror and for not accurately conveying Irish history. His off-the-cuff statement regarding the British military's conduct was deemed a serious oversight, leading him to address and correct the misrepresentation. Crowe, a former history teacher, expressed sorrow over the impact of his words, emphasizing the importance of accurate historical narratives.
I wanted to make the point that brutal, bad, and all as the British armed forces have been on this island for a very long time, they never resorted to sending over the Royal Air Force, tanks and missiles to pummel Irish cities.
My apology is also to those of you who care about Irish history and the accuracy with which it should be conveyed.
