Irish participation in World War I should be forked into its own article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.27.231.231 ( talk) 06:04, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
The article never makes reference to the fact, but the image of the Great Cross of Sacrifice shows the dates of both World Wars (or, I guess in this context, the Emergency). Should there be something in the article about this? I'm obviously not the most knowledgeable person on the subject so I can't say what would be appropriate. -- MichiganCharms ( talk) 06:53, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
Changing this "de Valera's government still recognised the motives of the Memorial and made valuable state contributions to" to "Éamon de Valera, and his government still recognised the motives " in a section is given it as a personal opinion of De Velera's. As this section is unsourced this is not allowed. Also adding it continually is disruptive. Murry1975 ( talk) 18:15, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
The First World War death toll given here seems very high. 49,400 dead out of 300,000 Irish soldiers who served in all armies gives us a death rate of 16%. That is a higher proportion than Germany or France (both about 15%), Russia (14%), Italy (12%) and the UK as a whole (10%). My figures are from < http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/world-war-one/world-war-one-and-casualties/first-world-war-casualties/> If the figures are correct they are worthy of comment in the article.

Per WP:EXTLINK I removed links to external sites which are commemorating Ireland in WW1, or veterans' associations, or general history articles. Osioni reverted with comment reinstate some relevant WWI ext.-links. Is not merely a "garden" memorial. It's a memorial garden, not a garden memorial; does "merely" imply it's something else as well? If so, what? The same low-value links are copy-pasted on many other pages and cluttering them up. Most of the links should be on one or zero articles.

I've gutted some of the further reading section in preparation for (I hope) a major overhaul. Putting this here in case any of the books are useful later on.
