Quotes edit see section history

  • “I’m Connor Larkin. I’m an Irishman and I’ve had enough”.”
    connor larkin
  • “your daddy lying there watched his sister and brothers and his mother die and put them under with his own hand. All of them died with green mouths like so many of our people did. Green mouths from eating grass”
  • “without British markets, where would we sell? We would be without privileged tariff and trade regulations we enjoy as british subjects. No greater disaster could befall us.”
  • “we are knowingly making one repugnant alliance after another with madmen like MacIvor in order to perpetuate an archaic reformation myth to control the mob, and we’re deliberately using hatred and physical violence as a political weapon”
  • “Cheap female and child labour and a vast pool of unemployed so their product could compete with and undersell England”
  • “i tried, but the world was not large enough to dim the vision of Ireland or purge the curse of it from my soul. I had become a traitor to myself”
    connor larkin
  • “I see no court. I see a hidden room buried in the Wicklow Mountains. There are no lawbooks, no journalists, no probing eyes of impartial minds. Are you inferring sir, that this is a British courtroom?” He further goes on to say “ i am able to cite some four hundred pieces of legislation enacted against the Irish people, to aid, abet and expand British presence in which a deliberate attempt was made to destroy an ancient civilization by laws repugnant to every concept of God and democracy and laws in contradiction to your own public vows to bring civilization to the Irish savage”
    connor larkin
