#Ireland - No taxation without representation Peter Lalor was an Irish-born leader instrumental in the Eureka Stockade rebellion of 1854 in Australia. He championed the term no taxation without representation. Lalor and the miners believed that being taxed without having a voice in government was a form of tyranny. This pivotal moment in Australian history helped ignite the push for democracy and rights for ordinary citizens. His legacy endures as a symbol of resistance, one influenced by his Irish heritage that shaped his views on justice and representation. image
Henry Fordโ€™s Dad was from Co. Cork Ireland He famously wrote a prophetic article on energy money and said โ€œIt is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.โ€ Henry Ford was proud of his Irish roots, and he invested heavily in Ireland during the first half of the last century. Almost 100 years ago he opened an assembly plant in Co Cork, which in peak times employed 7,000 workers, making Ford by far the largest employer in Ireland. The plant was open for some 70 years until the 1980s when its production was moved to another Ford facility in England. image
