Anyone with a grasp of history would suggest that any Irish person, regardless of political affiliation, would find it offensive, not least people from Ulster, which was the third-worst affected of the four provinces. <br />Unionist/Orange revisionism, particularly since partition, has seen to it that An Gorta Mór is regarded as a problem for the Catholic, southern pesantry, when, in actual fact, the whole of Ireland felt its wrath.

One of their most outspoken former spokesmen said "there's no dignity to marching with the permission of nationalists" - so not only give them permission, encourage them. Clap them through, even wear imitation suits and bang drums.<br /><br />They are a farcical organisation. Laugh at them and they'll stop.<br /><br />And charge them for the cost of policing their idiotic tribal attention seeking.SPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139216046914389013noreply@blogger.com
