    How about you take up my challenge to a debate on the subject instead of attacking me personally like some coward, you see unlike you I’ve researched this thoroughly rather blindly accepted the official narrative. Even the late great Carl Sagan wrote in his Brian book ‘Pale Blue Dot’; “I don’t blame anyone who believes Apollo was faked in a Hollywood movie studio” so come on and take me on in a debate and we’ll see how clever you are.

    That wasn’t the question.
    When did Ireland become a republic?
    It’s a question without a straight forward answer.
    The Republic was proclaimed in 1916.
    The people freely elected the 1st Dail 1919.
    The Irish Free State was founded in 1922. – Hardly a true member of the Commonwealth
    The 1932 Constitution made us a constitution in all but name.
    In 1949 we declared a Republic.
