BBC's: The Story of Ireland 5of5 Age of Nations 

..I'm Spaniard and being 11 years living in England. I'm living now in Ireland and I considered myself as an Ireland's lover, I love everything about Ireland and when I've had researched about its history with documentaries as this one, it just make bigger & deeper my love for Ireland. I dropped a few tears watching the entire documentary. Many thanks and so pleased to watch it..

First I watched The History of Britain, The History of Scotland, now this. All those who committed crimes in the name of "religion" were no better than Hitler.

Curious to hear him refer to the island as an 'open' island with freedoms while also thinking about my friend in Belfast who told me that if her Protestant neighbors find out she's Catholic she'll be evicted immediately. An she's seen it happen multiple times. It's such a gorgeous and fascinating land, but I can't help but recognize the fact that there exists still deep resentments, simmering violence, and potential for madness at any turn.

As an American with maternal Irish blood & heritage I just wanted to say that I've thoroughly enjoyed this documentary of such a captivating and beautiful place that we call The Emerald Isle. God Bless Ireland !!!

Following the Belfast agreement, the people in N Ireland now have a birth right to be Irish, something they didn't have before. There's also power sharing between the 2 communities and cross border institutions. Uniting Ireland isn't about uniting the territory its about uniting the people. The story of Ireland is still being written.

As a british person who knew little of Irish history until now, I have to thank you for uploading this documentary. Very clear, very detailed, very well balanced. It's good to know more about our Hibernian neighbours ;)

James Connolly was not born in Glasgow. He was born in Edinburgh.

Even a Dutchman (like me) likes this documentary very much. Thanks for a nice insight in Irish history!

Since childhood I have felt the iriishness of me, but I was born in north Yorkshire, and now I am an Australian Citizen. My DNA says I am 97% Irish. As I say I always knew it. I am 80 and still study the History of the British Isles, day in,day out and have done so for ten-years . As old as I am, I play my guitar and sing songs, mainly folk, rarely missing a day, my favourites being The Dubs and the Fureys... But I have struggled to understand why so much hatred. I have now finshed watching all 5 and have learned so much. Fergal Keane. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. Will Sullivan

Ireland untied...Ireland free..

Tremendously good documentaries. I encourage people to watch all five parts, beginning to end. Excellent writing, thoughtful and deep presentation.

You did a marvelous job with this complete series, very concise, unbiased, and very informative to non Non Irish peoples...Thank You Sir ☘🕶👍

Well done, Fergal. That was a splendid documentary.

Spent a month in Ireland , South and North. Interesting, contradictory place. Have read Swift, Wilde, Yeats, Joyce, about history, music. But travelling around, talking to people was GRAND. Saludos desde México…
