in #ecency3 years ago

Hello everyone i was away for abit but I was away fie good reason exploring my land ireland alot of people don't k ow the history of what we went trough and I'm here to help you understand England invaded Ireland and many country for years and some places still like northern Ireland they kept our men women and children in a prison called spike Island the cell was ment for 2 people they put 20 to 40 people in a 2 man cell starved them beat them and even starved some spike Island was built to stop other people attack England cause they would take the path around spike Island which is in Ireland to hit England so the English got Irish slaves to build it and it was one of the best builds to prevent attack so loads of people copied the build like the pentagon in America this prison was taking over by the inmates if you look it up you can see prisoners dancing on the roofs of the building I have a few pictures I took so here they are hope you enjoy
