Grew up in an Irish speaking home in Dublin, Ireland. Worked there many years, then moved to Bavaria Germany, and engaged in different capacities over a longer period. Claim some Benedictine roots.
Reviewing the authenticity of Irish history across several decades prior to 1920, it became apparent that many important developments and significant events during those crucial years had been either marginalised, or simply de-existed out of historical publications by most “authoritative” and "accepted" historians.
An abundance of selective history written from a traditionally approved perspective is widely available . Furthered by the educational system, it instils a trans-generational uniformity of thinking. This raises the question as to whether accepted history might be nothing other than a collective conspiracy to generate a continued adopted view of history. Any broader inclusiveness invariably denounced as “revisionism”.
Irish historiography is much the poorer for largely out-casting half of a period rich in historical socio-economic source material. Deprived of attention its scale of magnitude makes it all the more deserving of ongoing unbiased and politically neutral reappraisal. History should be about constant revisiting and questioning of assumptions.
The extent to which an understanding within the Island of Ireland’s divergent communities can evolve will depend upon the extent to which these communities experience a mutual acceptance of their different traditions, social structures and religious beliefs . A pre-requisite -- unprejudiced historical honesty.

In appreciation and remembrance of Gaimhreadhan, the following is from his page (August 2007):
"Remember what we are doing here. We are building a free encyclopedia for every single person on the planet. We are trying to do it in an atmosphere of fun, love, and respect for others. We try to be kind to others, thoughtful in our actions, and professional in our approach to our responsibilities." Jimbo Wales"
