True. It doesn't even represent one so any songs referring to Ulster would have to be out too.....

Incredibly childish to boo GSTQ for my money, was glad I was only walking in at that stage and didn't get to hear what happened...

Well, suppose they felt obliged to accommodate their more confused citizens. The point is not many politicians themselves bother to do so.

And?
Why would any Irish or Scots person feel any affinity to that sh*te? It's a load of old feudal drivel.

Ah ya can't beat an oul song about one family claiming a living off the state. We should write one about the Dundon-McCarthy's for our anthem.

And before anyone accuses me of being racist or bigoted, I will remind you that I love German and Greek people! ;)
