[edit] IRA story
The story of the Knight of Glin refusing to leave the house is well known in the area, and was told to me by the current Knight of Glinn himself a few years ago. I think it is justified in staying in the article, as an illustration of local folklore, but needs to be flagged as such.Mark (talk) 15:06, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
As charming as the IRA story is, I imagine it is exaggerated. I'm sure the basis of it is recorded somewhere though. --Counter-revolutionary (talk) 14:47, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- Its reads like bullshit to me. Have you got a reference for it? If none is found it will have to be removed.--Vintagekits (talk) 17:36, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- I don't know, I didn't write it. The scum did that sort of thing though, burnt out lots of nice houses, but as they didn't have the authority to confiscate lands (as much as they thought they did) then I imagine you're correct that this story has much hyperbole within it. --Counter-revolutionary (talk) 18:32, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- Scum?--Vintagekits (talk) 19:07, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- Bull shit? --Counter-revolutionary (talk) 19:11, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I am saying that that section of the article reads like bullshit! How are you calling scum?--Vintagekits (talk) 19:32, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- The whole article is bloated with original research. --House of Scandal (talk) 16:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Just to add a little more bloat, it appears there were male descendants of the 24th Knight of Glin in Ogdensburg, NY up through at least 1954, and some may still be alive today. Whether this is the senior line I do not know, but it is unlikely that the 28th Knight is the last. Choess (talk) 02:05, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
