Informational
If you are a citizen born after the Presidential Election of September 5th, you may not be familiar with a citizen who has returned to our forums and media. His name is Brian Boru.
Brian Boru was at one time a highly respected (if controversial) Irish Politician; four time congressman, co-author of our Constitution, author of numerous bills and failed presidential candidate. All of which in themselves are worthy of respect.
It is the last item that brought things to a head though. Immediately following his failed bid for the Presidency against Patton and Fionn one might have expected a gracious concession speech and a return to the mostly good work Mr. Boru had done before.
This was not to be the case. In tandem and most likely collusion with Mannimarco, Mr. Boru declared what was to become known as “The Ten Minute Coup”. The transcript of this act of treason can be found here archived with forethought by Edana Savage, for it was soon deleted by Mr. Boru and followed up with his The Joke is over Article where he attempted to elicit a laugh in the face of incredulity, furious anger and betrayal. He also announced his impending death from slow starvation as he is quoted as saying “I would rather die than be a two-clicker.”
Personal Bias? Perhaps
Mr. Boru and I have had run-in’s in the past and until the coup had loosely agreed to respectfully disagree. I have not written this article to flame Mr. Boru but merely to educate some of our younger citizens on some historic events pertaining to him especially if he decides to return to eIreland “for good”. For many of us who were here and left with the aftermath of a failed coup and (briefly) absconded treasury, forgiving is a long way off and forgetting impossible.
Though discussions took place on the banishment of Boru and Mannimarco in the Dail, game mechanics make this a purely academic argument.
It is up to you to decide eIreland.
Very Respectfully,
Donovan Thomas

Yes, I had seen him commenting on a couple of articles this morning. It would be wise to use extreme caution.
Well said DT. Today is a sad day for eireland 🙁
With any luck he will do the honourable thing and stay well away.
Hm, yes i respected him once :/
I used to repect him, but ever since that coup, that was pretty much his own death sentence. I would beware, because you never know who will stab you in the back...
:/ dont know about him. I say givem a shot.
I say fair play. This man held half the country up at one stage, and he only did what he did because he thought he was leaving for a long period of time
Hey looks, Starks the Irish by-word for failure
I would never welcome such a louse back into our country. May he and the rodent rot in ehell.
Wow. When one leaves for a short time honorable people seem to fall over on their faces. This is unbelievable, yet the evidence is there. BB, really?
I would be slighty more forgiving myself and agree partly with what Starks said what he did was incredably stupid to say the least but when active he did contribute to eIrish society positivly (for the most part) unlike that other rodent.
Held half the country up.....HA!
😑 I certainly will not be a'welcoming.
Go away boru , you are not welcome here
Yea. It's amazing how some people have such short term memories. BB was a good citizen of Ireland but his actions have runed him and his actions.
I don't look at him with anger, just sadness. He could have been so great.
I dont see why people are telling him to stay away he has the right to go to any country he wants
and Welcome back brian, i hope we can continue are friendship 😉
aww padraig ,, u didnt read these comments by your friend boru so ?

Everyone should be given a chance to regain the trust of the people.
@cas: i saw it coming aswell
He tried to scam and ruin eIreland with the help of mannimarco, another thief and liar who did all he could to flame the nation and harass its people. And Padraig is apparently his biggest fan. I think that's enough said.
I won't be a jerk to Boru, but I think that it would be appropriate as a nation to keep him out of eIreland's affairs as much as possible given his treasonous past and the company he kept and still keeps.
The decision that I made after their treasonous act still stands. I hold dear to my values and my love for my country and I won't sacrifice that for anyone or anything.
Well said Bradums.
By the way, thanks for bringing this to light DT. Did we not hold a vote on the aforementioned event in the Dail?
BB is a very intelligent man. Use him well Ireland.
"Yea. It's amazing how some people have such short term memories. "
It is not a joke.
This guy thought he was gonna leave the game and decided "why not screw it for all the others too?"
How self-harming can eIreland be?
We'll discover very soon
Dubh- so they can abuse it again?
who?
ヽ（´ー｀ ）ノ
Bradrums, uaithne.
I have to clarify what Manni did.
He held the state companies for me when I took them, but then seized them off me after I started the process of returning the treasury. The revolution isn't "their treasonous act" at all, Manni was just as surprised as anyone else initially.
Besides, you can't accuse me or Manni of treason without a trial, or else the Constitution that I supposedly overthrew isn't worth squat anyway.
Any person not interested in listening to boru please contact Kol to have him removed from forum and report his posts on forum as spam

Who are you lol
throw him back out?
Yay, Brian's back 🙂
I wrote this on the forum:
He was banned, but so far I haven't noticed anything bad coming from him. eIreland is known for giving second chances (manni and PP for example) so I guess this is Brian's. He may have a black mark in many of our books, but he can try to clear it.
