    what exactly? For a start, their shop isnt sinnfein.ie (its http://www.sinnfeinbookshop.com ) and I cant find one objectionable teeshirt or piece of clothing on it. Not one mention of the IRA on there. the 'worst' would be the Fenian teeshirts - but you wouldnt get the self depreciation of those I assume.

    Isn't that always the way though?

    Those doing the offending often don't realise the extent of the offence.

    That is why we have gender awareness training. There is probably a large market in sectarian awareness training for both sides of the divide.

    It's been asked numerous times now, what exactly the offending items are, and to whom are they offensive?

    So far, no-one seems willing to say, or else they are unable to do so.


    Any chance you might let us in on the secret :confused:

    A few posts have been deleted. If this thread descends into the usual bickering, I will not hesitate in handing out bans.
