Curiously, I agree on the over reaction to political /sectarian displays. I understand the PSNI reaction given the tinder dry situation in the north right now, but it borders on suppressing free speech. A new example:
Limerick won the all Ireland hurling championship. Given that it is Limerick, they have very little to sing about. But among the songs sung by the team sung was "Sean South from Garryowen". South was an IRA volunteer killed during a raid on a RUC barracks on new years day 1957
Unionists are up in flames over the team singing the song. South is a bit of a local hero in Limerick, given he has been dead for over 50 years, not really something to get worked up over.
