Nobel winner Vargas Llosa’s new book is on Irish rebel

An Irishman ratted on Roger C. Dillon not the Irish nation it is disingenuous of you to castigate the Irish people as worthless it shows your anti-Irish bias. Casement was one of the greats of his time. Using an Irish hero to demonize the Irish is moronic,and shows your bitterness for what it is.

Remember that it was the Irish who betrayed Casement. No British soldiers were present when he came ashore in Kerry. But the spineless Irish turned him over to the British Army to be hanged. Seanmelbourne, were your ancestors in the crowd who surrounded Casement and turned him in?

oppss... my great grandmother was a Dillon.. I don't think she'd think i was worthless, though she might tell me to get a husband ... ;)

Wow.. how life has change.. Seems like Gay Irish have always been cool ;) So when's New York going to let them march or perhaps they'll have David Norris as marshal.. ;)

I am glad you corrected my grammar and you agree that you are a moron

seanom: "Dillon your a moron." It's "you're".

An outsiders perspective on an incredibly Brave Great and controversial Irishman who had a boundless love of Ireland the North Antrim coast and Murlough Bay in Particular,is a book I look forward to reading, I often wonder what an Ireland With Roger Casement in it would have looked like, I don't think Con Men like Devalera would have survived his honesty, let alone the ancestors of the current sward of Gangsters.

Dillon your a moron.

I voted for Casement as Greatest Ever Irish Person. It's wonderful that Vargas Llosa's book will make people outside Ireland aware of this great man. Come to think of it, it may make Irish people aware of Casement--most Irish people I know could tell you who's who on the latest English TV soap opera but couldn't tell you one thing about Roger C. Casement wasted his life for the worthless Irish, they did not deserve him or his sacrifice.

Casement and my grandfather's uncle John Devoy (IRB) were comrades in the struggle for Ireland's Freedom. Catch me on FB my name is David Hayes with a photo of a Ryanair plane.
