Loyalist Demo was Bridge too Far

reaction was understandable

Any secondary school student of Irish politics could have forecast trouble because of the Union Jacks at the GPO

For the attention of News Editor/Newsroom…..

The angry reaction of people to the Loyalist demo in Dublin
clearly shows that such a display of Union Jacks and British flags
at the GPO in Dublin is opposed by the Irish people, a spokesman
for the Limerick Republican Information Service has said.

Joe Lynch from Ballinacurra Weston said that those in power
have gone “a bridge too far” in trying to normalise British rule
in Ireland.

“This mis-guided Loyalist venture was supposed to be some sort
of test of Irish public opinion,” said Mr. Lynch. “It was presented
as a measure of maturity and acceptance but any secondary school
student of Irish politics could have forecast a negative reaction.

“The fact is that our country is divided – and partition is the cause
of conflict – and no amount of papering over the failure of the
Stormont Agreement will change that reality.

“Rather than trying to force these events on the Irish people, as part
of the normalising of British rule in Ireland, those in power would be
better off acknowledging the evils of partition and making a genuine
attempt to rectify the wrongs of our history.

“The very idea that Loyalists could parade past the GPO waving
Union Jacks and proclaiming their Britishness in a triumphant
manner was a non-runner and those who encouraged this display
should be ashamed of themselves. History cannot be undone – and
pretending that the Easter Rising did not take place is simply an exercise
in futility – and pretending that it was not a revolution against foreign
rule is also a denial of our history.

“There is a place for all traditions in Ireland when Britain declares
her intention to withdraw and the Irish people can determine their
own future without foreign influence.”
