    Since when did St Patricks day become a republic/catholic only thing?

    They were born on the island so have as much right as anyone to join the parade.

    Fair enough the Saint Patricks day parade mightn't be a republic/ Catholic march per se but the orange march is a thinly disguised show of aggression aimed fair and square at the nationalist/ Catholic people, don't try to tell me otherwise. The fcukers in the days before the parades commission came into being started marching and drumming in April and kept it up until nearly august.

    Cud be putting people watching the parade in danger if the order marched here they would be a few nutters who would come down with the aim of causing trouble

    So where are they putting their bonfire to burn tricolours and effigies of the Pope?

    Madness.

    Pity they wouldn't put the actual pope on one.

    Who down here fought and died for their country?

    No one as they were too blue to answer the call!

    Are you expecting someone who fought, and subsequently died to respond to you on a message board, you know from beyond the grave?

    If you don't think people in Southern Ireland have fought and died for their country, then you don't know your history.
    Plenty have, both for independence and part of a civil war and fighting in WW1 and WW2 etc

    Your comments are rather insulting to say the least

    I wonder how I would fare here if I made a similar remark about a prominent Muslim leader.
