Why is it offensive for Irish people to sing oh ah up the RA? Who's offended by it and why has the Irish coach apologised?
I understand that the IRA are classed as a terrorist group in the North.....but they also fought and won freedom in the south so why shouldn't southern Irish people be allowed to celebrate their republican army? I'm sure the "terrorist" leaders who signed the Proclamation of the Irish Republic can be freely celebrated.....or would the BBC demand an apology for that to??
I'm not trying to be divisive or cause arguments as I know politics is frowned upon by some on the noise. This is a genuine question I'd like to hear people's thoughts and points on the subject....
