**WELCOME TO IRISH HISTORY ON REDDIT !**

---

A place where Irish History lovers post links and discuss various aspects of Ireland’s rich past.


As long as it relates to Irish History, feel free to post it.

Local/regional history, lore, crime & executions, saints & sordid characters – everything is fair game.

We're on Twitter! - [@HistoryOfEire](https://twitter.com/HistoryOfEire)
-

###RULES
1.  Be Civil - attack the idea, not the person defending it.

2. We follow the 'thirty-year rule' just to help keep things simple. If what you are posting happened in the last thirty years, it is probably sociology or politics, and not history, so we ask that you not post it.

3.  You should only downvote posts and comments if they are irrelevant to Irish History or to the topic being discussed. If the conversation is completely de-railing, message the mods and we will look into it.

4. Bigotry in any form will not be tolerated and is grounds for instant banning.

5. Do not take the conversation out of the comments section. If you are badgering someone via private message, we will step in, and we might ban you.

6. Zero spam tolerance

7. Submissions and comments that are overtly political or attract too much political discussion will be removed; political topics are only acceptable if discussed in a historical context. Comments should discuss a historical topic, not advocate an agenda.
