    Cue thousands of Google hits on it after some oul fella walked behind the BBC reporter with a "Disband the Artane Band" sign.

    What is the issue with it? Don't want to crash Google by joining the rush for info.

    The band appears to be a major positive for the local community so I don't see the issue.

    Rather see young people playing instruments than taking drugs or whatever.

    A group who have no clue what The Artane Band stands for now. The link between the Christian Brothers and the band has been severed a long time now.

    That was my risky click of the day.


    Should it not be a .ie domain?

    Nah, the answer to honoring abused children is always to punish some different children.

    I am guessing the .ie domain registry wouldn't allow you register the .ie domain with no official links to the band.

    To cut a long story short, the Artane Band used to be connected with Artane Industrial School (a horrific place) , which is now St. David’s.

    No connection to the Cristian Brothers now however.

    You may recognize them from the All-Ireland Finals where traditionally they march pre-match and play the anthem.

    Artane is also a suburb which the band/school is named after. Which in turn is named after Artaine Castle, which belonged to the Hollywood family and no longer exists.

    Don't see the problem, the industrial school no longer exists and the name refers to the area now.

    The uniforms still give me a headache with the colour combo.

    Young children were horrifically abused over decades in that institution and Artane Band - yet you think this is funny?
