The Republic of Donegal | Paddy Cullivan | TEDxBallybofey

Paddy Cullivan makes a case for the County of Donegal to secede from the Republic of Ireland and more to the point, the EU. Speaking about Ireland's history and Europe's current affairs, Paddy makes a compelling case that small is beautiful and that globalization should be resisted. Paddy Cullivan is the third wheel of the Leviathan Political Cabaret along with Naoise Nunn and David McWilliams. He is also a writer and performer on Oliver Callan's first-rate RTE Satire vehicle 'Callan's Kicks' and has performed his unique brand of freewheeling political polemic at Kilkenomics, The Dartington Interrogate Festival and the Limerick Spring. His band, the Camembert Quartet, are the House Band on the Late Late Show and his multimedia historical shows 'Solutionism', 'The 10 Dark Secrets of the Irish Revolution' and '26 + 6 equals 1' have been performed all over Ireland and beyond. Born in Galway, he resides part-time in beautiful Gortahork, Co. Donegal. Paddy Cullivan is the third wheel of the Leviathan Political Cabaret along with Naoise Nunn and David McWilliams.

That is near enough the same speech I give when I'm loaded with pints.

[@marymary5494]

Maybe it’s time to face your fears!

[@tayraw]

I moved here to get away from globalism too but I also moved away from motorways, big cities and corporations. Please don't change it.

[@dustash1578]

I move to reinstate the O'Donnell dynasty. Those opposed have a republic to run to.

[@AcesArtie]

Humour, maps and Gortahork. That venn diagram the youtube algorithm is working on for me is certainly working.

[@nadiadobrianska389]

Fair play, the guy clearly has no idea whatsover about Russia and wars.

[@tuforu4]

Jeeeeez he is very CHEERFUL..

I'm Welsh and speak Welsh but I love the Gaeltacht; sometimes listen to RTE in the car-makes more sense than BBC Radio 4- I ascertained one word- Agos (?);in Welsh-'Close'; apparently it means 'and' in the Gaelic; not the most useful in any conversation !

[@janetfitzgerald9752]

We’re a lot like Switzerland now, thanks to an invasion of unvetted economic migrants, committing violent crime in small villages around the country.

I fully support the secession of the Kingdom of Tír Chonaill from the Republic of Donegal.

THIS IS WEIRD. Xenophobic. Oil and fishing? Is this a spoof? They’re American? And pro Russia? Ok bro

[@RP-nm5lp]

Imagine caring about all of this but not caring that Ireland is being flooded with Muslims/Africans/non-Irish immigrants.

[@safedba]

People are starting to care now.
