    Why did the chicken cross the road ?-The Irish version !
    Question: Why did the chicken cross the road?

    SINN FEIN: That would be a matter for the chicken. Sinn Fein and the chicken
    are not part of the same organisation, although we share some ideals. If
    there are presently any chickens in Sinn Fein, we are not aware of it.

    ORANGE ORDER: The chicken is entitled to walk in a peaceful manner on the
    Queen's Highway. It's a traditional route. Anyone who tries to deny the
    chicken his rights to walk on the road will find the road blocked at both
    ends until the chicken is allowed to walk in a dignified and non-threatening
    manner, without accompanying bands if need be.

    DUP: We are implacably opposed to the chicken crossing the road until the
    chicken's armaments have been removed and the chicken itself declares it's
    diabolical intentions.

    IRA: On behalf of the people of Ireland, we reserve the right to defend the
    roads of the island against the chicken. For 800 years the Irish People have
    resisted the imposition of chickens by force of arms and shall continue to
    do so until the chicken is expelled from our land. Anyone collaborating with
    the chicken, or assisting or enabling the imposition of road crossing by
    chickens, will be deemed legitimate targets in our struggle against
    tyranny.

    UFF: We, the loyal defenders of Ulster roads, reserve our right to
    retaliate against any precipitory hostile actions by the chicken. We shall
    meet this with deadly force. (A donation to the Loyalist Prisoners
    Association will ensure free passage of the chicken with respect to the road
    and the crossing thereof, till the same time next month anyhow. Do chickens
    have kneecaps?)

    UUP/SDLP Joint statement: We believe that only by working together in
    unison, and with the majority of the people of this island, the British and
    Irish Governments and our friends overseas behind us, can we find the answer
    to this question. If we do not, or cannot, then our children will rightfully
    ask us the question, 'So why did the chicken cross the road?'

    THE HOME SECRETARY, UK GOV.: While not normally commenting on security
    matters, Her Majesty's Government feels it is right and proper, in this
    instance, to make a statement on this affair. - Members of the Special Air
    Services involved in a covert anti-terrorist operation on the road at 8:42
    this morning observed the chicken attempting to cross the road. As the
    chicken was approached by one of the soldiers involved, it was seen to make
    a threatening movement and action was taken to nullify that action. It has
    not been ascertained why the chicken was crossing the road, and it seems
    unlikely that we will now discover the motive.
