Gingerbread Tans

We might as well invite the Taliban to Dublin for next St Patrick's Day now that this country accepts uniformed terrorists parading down the street. How this was allowed to happen is an outrage, an insult to the memory of Lyra McKee, a citizen of this country who was murdered by the terrorist organisation Saoradh just a day before their planned march in Ireland's capital.

Saoradh planned this event and advertised it on social media, reporters say the march was heavily monitored by Gardai. But why was there no coverage by the media prior to the event, why don't politicians come out and condemn the march. There should be open distain for a group of violent boyscouts who threaten the freedom of any individual in this country.

This event was let happen and it was a threat to our democracy. Questions need to be asked of the Gardai and the council as to how a paramilitary organisation who have committed murder are allowed congregate on O'Connell Street in full combat attire. These wren boys should have been simply run off the streets and arrested as known terrorists.
​

Very simply Saoradh are doing more damage to Irish freedom than if Brexit was lead by the ghost of Maggie Thatcher. They amount to nothing more than gingerbread tans doing the work of MI6. The Republic of Ireland would vote for unity in a heartbeat, but what the south won't want to vote for is terrorists, IRA leftovers, or the re-emergence of armed conflicts, riots, and bigotry.

What's more important, your revolution or love, throwing petrol bombs at police vans or peace on our streets, we don't need more casualties on the eve of democratic reunification. On the anniversary of the Easter rising Lyra McKee has become an unwanted statistic in Ireland's struggle with overcoming the past.

Countess Markievicz is famously quoted as saying; "If you want to walk round Ireland, or any other country, dress suitably in short skirts and strong boots, leave your jewels and gold wands in the bank, and buy a revolver."
​

A prominent figure of the Irish revolution and a pioneering feminist, she would not have wanted to see this young woman dead.

Ireland's fetish for revolutionary violence has no place in the hearts of the modern nationalist. The modern Republican lives in an inclusive Ireland that celebrates diversity.
​

This weekend I will be celebrating the life of Lyra McKee, it's a weekend to forget about the revolver, the revolver has no place this Easter
