Reeling in The Years

1918: The I.R.B horse drawn missile launchers.

Picture 1 of 33

During the ongoing struggle for independence, large numbers of specially trained palomino ponies were smuggled in from Libya to aid in the Irish Republican brotherhoods logistical weapons programme. The horse drawn launchers were cleverly disguised as vats of Downes's No.9 whiskey so as they could move easily from location to location without been detected by the evil black and tans. After the truce of 1921, most of the horses used to draw the missile launchers were decommissioned and left to roam the streets of Waterford. Alcoholism soon ensued and it was later decided by the people that the drunken horses were to be destroyed. Sinne Fianna Fail.
