Sligo Wild Geese
The Sligo Wild Geese were an historical re-enactment group founded in 1993 in Sligo, Ireland. They were notable for many firsts, including their involvement in pioneering north/south co-operation during the beginning of the then fragile Irish peace process.
==Introduction==
Founded prior to the 1994 cease fire by the IRA, the first re-enactment was staged a mere weeks after the first cessation of hostilities.
Originally formed to pioneer the concept of using period re-enactment as a means of providing practical training and personal development for the long term unemployed, whilst staging an event as a cultural and historical tourist attraction. The unit quickly found themselves in the unique position of re-enacting an earlier stage of a war that was still ongoing. They became involved in cross border initiatives due to the unique appeal to all sides in the Irish conflict.
Conscious of the old prophecy that "Ireland will lay at peace upon the return of the Wild Geese", they chose the 1688-1691 war in Ireland as their focus. This war saw Catholic and Protestant Irish fight on both sides for James II of England and William III of England. The Pope supported the Williamite side during the conflict.
