Lots of "IFs" in all of that Jim - Unfortunately examining the ifs does not reflect either the times or the events - as relevant as the old saying "IF my Aunt had balls She'd be my Uncle".

There was no mutiny, no laws were broken, no offences committed - yet to Mr Carroll it was an act of military aggression for which people should have been tried and executed - his only rational for justifying this is to apply his IFs and present those as if they represented the situation and conditions that prevailed in March 1914.

Still he's back to calling it the Curragh Mutiny so no progress made at all. No point in entering into any "discussion" with Carroll at all.

As for putting up "facts" and backing them up Thompson (Who doesn't think that there ever was an actual "mutiny" at The Curragh) seems to have gone very quiet when his facts are challenged.
