The other parade

uck51js9zml2yt

While the Deputy First Minister was attending the Parade in Dublin and clapping the very ones his comrades killed, his leader was showing where his affiliation lies by being up in Belfast.

Why did Gerry fail to represent his constituents at the Parade in Dublin?

Presumably you can confirm that every other TD was at the parade in Dublin today?

2/10. Must try harder.

There was never a chance Adams or Sinn Fein would show their face today. If they're not in charge, they're not interested.

OP if you're so concerned, I'm imagine it'll please you to know that Gerry will most likely be at the march on April 24th in Dublin to commemorate the events.

McGuinness was sitting between Joan Burton and Mary Robinson in the VIP stand, quite a prominent position

Not very Christian like mate.

I always have to laugh at the how rival commemorations are staged. It wouldn't be so bad, but they actually try to position themselves as the real Oglaigh na hEireann.

The absolute state of these wans.

When, as at Arbour Hill, you start trying to play soldier and in so doing claiming to be the real Oglaigh na hEireann, you deserve to be ridiculed.

Deos it matter where they went to see it as they are parades all over the country on Easter Sunday


No one is right or wrong in this so long as it's being commerated


The hassle people went through to keep this parades alive during the 70s and 80s when the state wouldn't for fear of upsetting people...I think it's great for people to be able to Commerate it anyway they see fit (within reason)


You are aware there are commeration every Easter Sunday the length and breath of the country like??

There has always been a commemoration at the GPO on Easter sunday. The old excuse that the State has somehow failed to adequately recognise the Rising is an attempt to justify these alternative commemorations with indelible links to that organisation which considered itself Ireland's army from the late sixties to 1998.

Yes. But let the actual military (borne out of the IRB, ICA, IV) do their drills, and let these people watch them like the rest of us.

So only the Irish army can do re-enactments? Must tell the likes of the Abbey, the thousands of communities, the schools etc that they are not allowed Donvito is not pleased.

If recognising and respecting the dignity that ought to be maintained at Arbour Hill makes me a snob, then so be it.

Once again, the image from the Belfast commemoration is near identical to what is witnessed year in, year out at Arbour Hill - except the morons at Arbour Hill found it appropriate to attempt a DF ceremonial drill with dummy rifles. It's appropriate for a RA funeral, not Arbour Hill. The video illustrates the type of riff raff that exploit the perceived confusion surrounding who is the rightful heir of those who particpated in the Rising - the Defence Forces. End of.

these anti good friday agreement people hate SF and have there own below parr sham 'ira' parade. you reallly dont have the first clue do you ? these morons are nothing to do with SF , so you can stop talking out of yer ass and grabbing the worse criminal dissadent vid you could find on youtube to try run down SF , pure lazy from yourself and you should withdraw your 'proof' to save yourself further deserved redicule. ..
can i ask what is you obsession with our army and you not being not keen on pretty decent actors showing there respects ? have you served in our defencs forces/ security forces ? im ex DF myself and have no problem with re enactors getting involved. the more that take in interest in our military history the the better imho.

The above video was intended to illustrate - as I've already said - the propensity for people to believe that they can use monuments erected to the Rising leaders for their own perverted causes - in that I include the attempts by Sinn Féin to justify their past claims that the IRA were the true descendants of the Rising, that they were the true Oglaigh na hEireann and that they would not recognise the State created as a result of the Rising. Those who fell are memorialised at places like Arbour Hill. It is disgusting.

This was the farce, attended by Deputy Adams, that took place on Friday. As a former DF member, tell me you're not disturbed by these people parading their, considering their disregard for the lives of DF personnel, namely Pvt Patrick Kelly?

It would be received with the same paving stones and hoardings that were chucked at the guards on O'Connell Street in 2006.

Both Republicans and Unionists shat all over the State and its army. Why should either of them be let in to Arbour Hill to proclaim the very revisionist history Gerry Adams was only too happy to condemn?

Presumable because he wants NI to be included in all these commemorations. A strong Nationalist community reside in those parts and feel every bit as much part of the festivities. Although they were well represented in the parade.

Presumably you rather it wasn't commerated so?

As for long periods around the country it was republicans kept alive commerations so I don't see why all of a sudden they should be excluded tbh??


I'm happy so long as people are commentating it within reason....if you wish to take a particular viewpoint and exclude others from commerationing it....seems somewhat spiteful and in bad taste






As an aside I did like to see all those primary school plays of it

A great way to teach history and a credit to whoever taught it up....it would be great if it was kept up every year and held as much a tradition as the nativity plays

Wait till ye see the parades tomorrow!
Fabulous army lads, dressed in black berets & sunglasses!

It's about as respectful as Benjamin Netanyahu at a joint session of the United States Congress.

One where those who did not recognise it or its Defence Force for decades are prevented from rewriting history to their own credit.
