Should add a bit of excitement to the standard Easter fare..
Newshound: Links to daily newspaper articles about Northern IrelandThey want to parade past the GPO at Easter, a hallowed date in the nationalist calendar. Loyalists bands will be invited to take part and some of the marchers will wear Orange sashes. The organisers have already notified gardai of their intentions.
Maybe the south can embarass itself again by rioting.
Well if that's true it would be a blatant attempt to stir up trouble and cause offense, and therefore should not be allowed. I don't think it would be allowed anyway.
However I'll not take it too seriously until I read it from a more authoritative source.
How dare the victims of the IRA walk past a post office, you would almost think there were going to charge into the place to hold a rebellion!Frazer said IRA victims couldn't be held responsible if there was serious violence again.
"We're not setting out to cause trouble. If republicans react violently to our democratic right to march, that's their business," he added.
Frazer said FAIR's dossier on alleged Irish state collusion with the IRA showed that the IRA was given 400 weapons from an army barracks in Dublin in 1970.
He said it also included evidence that the Southern state funded the Provos at the start of the troubles and set up training camps for them.
He claimed the Republic had been "a safe haven for terrorists" throughout the conflict and failed to provide proper Border security.
Frazer said in 1975 when the IRA shot dead his father Robert, a UDR man, a British army helicopter followed the killers to the Border but then had to stop because it lacked permission to enter Irish airspace. "How despicable is that," he added.
The Love Ulster march is supported by South Armagh pastor Barrie Halliday. "The Queen went to Dublin in person to deliver an apology for the perceived wrong of hundreds of years of British rule.
"We want an apology from the Irish state for the injustice inflicted on us," he said
I think Dublin should be exactly as forthcoming as the British government is on similar issues.Originally Posted by Robo
I don't think there is enough freedom of speech here, so I wouldn't be for not allowing it on the grounds of the message/content/history, but I would think there will be another event going on at that place at that time, so I'm a bit confused as to how that will work.
The victims should F-up & F-off!
my tuppence..
a) the ROI government needs to admit to its faults.
b) willie frazier would not be my choice to lead any movement/protest, but he is an egotist and after his huge following at the elections he believes he is the chosen one...
c) anyone who thinks its ok to attack a peaceful protest, regardless of their opposition to the protests ideology, should remember big ian's actions in 1969.
d) the apprentice boys of derry hold a parade every easter monday it will attract 30/40k the Jr OO hold a parade every easter tue it will attract 20/30k, this will be lucky to get 3/400.

I fail to see what your response has to do with my post.
Who exactly are the "Love Ulster" growd and what exactly is the purpose of their march? They need to indentify themselves and clearly lay out the purpose of their march.
haven't a clue at a guess... willie frazier.
