About Me

Dáithí Mac Bhurrais is my name in Irish and the name I prefer to use. I am of Irish American descent. And the issues surrounding Northern Ireland and the struggle of the Irish People (for basic human rights, civil rights and to live in peace without the interference of the British Military and Government) in this British made state take up the better part of my time and life. On a more personal note I have been married now for almost 20 yrs, I have one daughter who is not just my kid but my friend. 2 dogs, one small and loving and the other kind of nuts like my kid LOL. Oh and BTW I have my ears pierced 8 times and 3 tattoos...
