    "The dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land, walked back to the water, went back from the sand."

    I was having trouble posting images to the board recently so I don't know if anyone can see this. It's an article from The Kerryman on Wednesday where Martin Ferris compares himself to Roger Casement, claims that the Navy tried to kill them & that he saved a sailor from drowning during the boarding.

          The 'documentary makers' are a pair of local sympathisers, so don't expect a balanced account of what happened.

            Selective memories, fed to a new generation of believers. Might have put manners on the SF/IRA if a few of the crew were shot. Unfortunately, people are believing their shite, even a few who should know better. One of my colleagues, ex DF, has voted for them in local and national elections for the last few years. When I challenged him on this, he said that SF have delivered at local level and are fantastic local workers, much better than the other parties. I said that he had forgotten his colleagues killed by IRA men , who were now in Southern politics.

              Although you have to agree about the comparison with the Roger Casement bit , they both failed to land the weapons and they both got captured .

                You don't have to agree at all. The main difference is that Casement was hung and he shouldn't have been, Ferris wasn't hung and should have been...
                'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
                'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
                Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
                He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

                          It must have been a Garda that fell in the water then .

                            I just checked with the guy who fired the rounds. Four in total. Three across the bows. One at the bow light. He missed with that one. All were tracer.

                            Still waiting on clarification who ended up in the water. I didn't thing there were any garda involved in the actual boarding but more later.

                              The boarding officer got wet ( RIP), Ferris forgets to mention he had an asthma attack and had to be sorted by the NS.

                              The two crew on the Marita Ann were 'very subdued'

                              None of that going to make to film.
