In keeping with Fianna Fail's newly found Republicanism (aka, attempts to draw Sinn Fein votes), the same parade as last year will take place Sunday.

I went along to this last year, specifically to watch the "re-enactment" of the reading of the declaration of independence. A waste of time. The only ones who could see anything in front of the GPO were the "dignitaries" as three long covered stands were in the middle of O'Connell St. with backs to the people as befits the attitude of our government.

If you want to look at the back of a tent then go along as I'm sure it will be the same sh!te again this year.

Hundreds of Gardai were on duty and remained so long after the debacle ended, at what cost I can only guess, but I would say your looking at 8 hour shifts at triple time?
