If the republican bombing campaign was ongoing and the Irish state was complicit in this then they would be justified in marching for an end to the campaign, end of collusion etc. However this is to "commemorate" the victims of Republican violence. Why have a commemoration in hostile territory if your aim is not to antagonise. In fairness to the chuckys they don't go holding their commemorations in loyalist areas.Quote:

What is your obsession with Munster and sub-Dublinian Leinster?Quote:

I agree... as long as it's only Dublin men interacting with Loyalist ladies and vice versa. I'm sure you would be apalled if this suggestion led to sordid man-on-man interaction. :eek:Quote:

Can't see anyone ever wanting a "Love Connaught" march. It would hardly be a parade if it did happen.Quote:

I don't like the whole idea of the "Love Ulster" parade...It's inviting trouble and as far as i can see is just a Unionist type of superiority parade for no reason...
Well for simplicity, it should just be a "Love the 4 Provinces" thing. Or better yet, "Love 32 Counties"...Quote:

He sentenced Mr Heapes to a total of four years in jail, with the last two years suspended.
Good to see a jail conviction at last. :cool:
Good to see his "don't blame me I'm an impressionable fcukin idiot" line of defence was given short shrift too.Quote:
