Follow up questions for Aidan based on pg 339. 1. Why did Ireland, under de Valera, only provide 'help short of war' when full military engagement could have significantly bolstered the Allied cause? Was this a sign of neutrality or reluctance to fully commit against the Axis powers? 2. Given that MI6 confirmed there was no substantial German espionage in Ireland, why did the Irish government allow MI6 to operate surreptitiously within their borders? Doesn't this suggest a lack of sovereignty or complicity in espionage activities? 3. The text mentions that Colonel Dan Bryan admitted there was justification for Maffey's statement about the Irish belief in a German victory. Doesn't this indicate that Irish neutrality was more about betting on the wrong side than a principled stance? 4. G2, MI5, OSS. These are fringe groups with very few members present in Ireland during the war. Why are you putting so much stock in the opinions of such small groups of people? Certainly groups like the IMRA, Ailtirí na hAiséirghe, Craobh na hAiséirghe, the IRA, the YIA, the ICF, Cumann Corpruiteac Náisiúnta, Celtic Confederation of Occupational Guilds (CCOG), the PNP… better represented Irish feelings on the conflict, than foreign intelligence services?

@Thamesville @Sci_Adv Every estimate for Nazis and collaborators that came here is between 1 and 200. I see you've done your ratio using 200. Why is that?

@Sci_Adv @Thamesville There's definitely quite a few people in there listed as Nazi collaborators who most definitely weren't. I'll give you Barry and possibly McCool. Still a long way to go before there's more Nazis memorialised in this country than there is in yours.

@Sci_Adv Between 100 and 200 Nazis and collaborators came here, your country took in at least 8000. This isn't included those from the Baltic countries who you did a better job of covering up.

@Sci_Adv 'You've already seen the articles.' People with functioning brains understand that academic history trumps completely unreferenced BBC news articles.

@Sci_Adv Enlighten us all as to monuments that aren't the Sean Russell statue. Another stone in a glass house with this. Here one of several monuments to an entire SS unit in your country.
