Perhaps this cultural and financial loss to Derry would encourage the dissidents to accept the futility of further "armed struggle"
Seems like they were just using the bombings as an easy excuse. It is a pity, the Fleadh really is a great event, wouldn't miss it, and it is a disgrace it hasn't been north of the border yet.

The backwoodsmen have scuppered a good, not a great, weekend in Derry.
These cave dwellers don't give Jack Schidt about the majority of ordinary people who might have liked the event to happen.
They contribute nothing, but like that quisling McFeeley are first to take the shilling if it helps them personally.
These people crawl out from under slates whenever brave people try to better themselves and live life the way it should be lived..
Fhuuuuk them and the stupid bile that spawns them.
Last two years one side of cavan town to the other was jammed from about 11 in the morning to about 3 in the morning. It is a great event, one of the things we can be really proud of in this country and if any posters haven't been I would fully recommend it.

Fanatics, and they're everywhere. Irish culture has an iffy record on marginalising them.Feckin neanderthal eejits the lot of em.
The Irish are not a serious people. Colm McCarthy to Miriam O'Callaghan.
i didn't see this so i had opened a thread in the zoo, i mean n.i section, if mod's want to merge? anyway what i posted there..
Couple points...
i actually think it’s a shame the bid has been turned down; it was a chance for the ‘cockpit of the troubles’ to have truly wide ranging cultural year. The UK city of culture events would presumably would promote all ‘sides’ (and none), the maiden city festival promoting mainly ‘pul/british’ culture and the fleadh promoting mainly ‘cnr/irish’ culture.
I have no insight to the workings of the, Comhaltas Ulster Council so I maybe I am just a backward unionist cynic when I ponder the ‘speed’ of the decision after the recent bombs, given that a few weeks ago the bid was been considered for rejection on the grounds of ‘uk’ city of culture.

Never mind about tomas mor he hates all things irish culture, but if you want to talk about SF he will first in line.
Worth an estimated 34 million to host town. Pretty big event.
Why did Minister Phil Hogan drop the independent review into planning irregularities within Dublin and Cork city councils and Carlow, Meath, Galway and Cork county councils ?
