To anyone unfamiliar...the Irish Independent is Ireland’s NY Times,Amazon Post and MSLSD all rolled up into one.
I remember you, I, and others alerted Jim Robinson that this New York-based far-Left publication firm had blocked legitimate voices from Ireland.
I remember the Irish Echo was the link between those left behind and those who left.
My aunt, Sister Gertrude, and her brother, Charlie, (who had great success) and my grandfather with others kept the Irish Echo afloat.
There are a few of us who remember.
