Making £6-9 Irish pounds per week. In 1965 New York City an Irish immigrant could have made $50-100 per week for various lower level jobs, depending upon connections, skill and risk involved. Its no wonder they left.

Freemasons running Sinn Fein for the Communists. A seres of antipopes since the imposter Roncalli seized the papacy for the Freemasons in 1958 . Catholics duped again by Freemasons destroying the Mass , just did a better job than Luther or Cranmer by staying as imposters in order to wreck the Catholic Faith by destroying Catholic doctrine. That’s why Bergoglio gained the approval of homosexuals.

Eddie McAteer, Jim McCabe and James Doherty were fathers of some of my childhood friends, but we were the lucky ones, the Doherty's house on Queen Street was quite sizable, but he was a successful businessman. It was the professional Catholic neighbourhood; my father, a dentist got too involved in politics for his own good, so we took off for Australia in 1970. I was five when this was made, and on holidays in Ballyliffin Donegal and in later years Greencastle, so I never got to see the Apprentice Boys' parade. 1969 was a doozie; I'd just come back from holidays in Greencastle and the Sunday evening before we started school, the late Dennis Heaney (look him up) and myself (both good Catholic Clarendon Street boys) went on a defenestration spree in the wreckage of The Battle of the Bogside. The next morning we had to navigate our way past two sets of barricades constructed from the rubble of the destroyed building to get to the Bogside where the Christian Bros School and the Tech were located. Happy Days, no wonder my family left, I'd probably have been killed by ENGLISH soldiers like Dennis if we hadn't.
