They certainly were not there to pay their respects as supporters of the GAA!!!!!!<br />Oh, I wasn't at Niallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013400649117430986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-72992007036896565422016-10-06T22:10:11.677+01:002016-10-06T22:10:11.677+01:00Niall,

That's why it baffles Unionists why the Catholic community complains of low numbers in the cops after years of assassination of Catholic cops!<br /><br />I for one hope the numbers of Catholic's in the cops gets to 50%.

If there was no protest against the parade their would be no need for the heavy security presence, and I suspect the OO and Bands would get pretty boring with nothing to march 'against'. <br /><br />Fair point about the HE though you'd have to be mad to Steve Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13670990166576346966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-81441241112144227152016-10-06T12:10:08.567+01:002016-10-06T12:10:08.567+01:00Niall

The whole of Belfast was up early that day. Helicopters and all sorts of police heavy vehicles aren't exactly nice and quiet. The people in that area have a right to object to those who would come from all over to parade through their area, and no priest has a right to set himself up as arbiter of Gerard.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03755318383331114316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-11073032052601222312016-10-06T07:54:36.946+01:002016-10-06T07:54:36.946+01:00Not too many in chapels at funerals of ordinary Ca...Not too many in chapels at funerals of ordinary Catholics....if Ronan Kerr had been a member of the general public would Elliot and the other bigots have gone in to the chapel?
