Being half Dub, half Scouse and both sides an Irishman, I fully agree. Great grandfather fought (father's side) in Boland's Mill during the Rising, Grandfather (on mother's) who saw the sea red with blood at Dunkerque while not agreeing with it at all. I hope none of us witness it in our lifetimes.
