Maybe the situation will stabilize, but actually now people have been killed.

Thousands of of people have been forced from their homes.

There's people coming south as refugees.

So this is the real question.

What are you gonna do?

To make it even more messy, there is documentary evidence which points towards

The idea that the government is interested in a split.

But it doesn't necessarily confirm this idea, but it is they think it is an important part of the stories.

In June nineteen sixty nine, the Fina Fall government, which was pretty you know, pretty stable and and in a uh a strong position.

went with a red scare in its election campaign and denounced the Irish Labour Party as potentially a communist force.

And the Irish Labour Party were expected to do well and had become far more left wing in their rhetoric over the previous couple of years.

But they were unlikely to win an overall majority and they certainly weren't that left wing.

But if you look at the speeches that are being made during the election.

They're being denounced as communists.

It's alleged that they're going to, you know

open up relations with Cuba, close the embassy in the Vatican and so on if they get in.

And that idea it's it's the last great red scare actually in in in

Irish uh electoral history.

And that points towards maybe a certain kind of thinking that again the Fienfael government are looking at the rest of the world.

They're looking at upheavals in France, they're looking at upheavals in Italy.
