Its a memorial for the dead Irish people are among the dead so the republicans decided to heckle deceased Irish people? Right......that's just stupid no matter what way you look at it. It also makes **** all sense so far as republicanism...heckling deceased Irish soldiers and the actual Irish president????????? God even the WBC would probably find those protests stupid...........what the **** was it meant to achieve other than showing complete ignorance and stupidity? Just as a side, could the Gardaí not have tried to run these gob****es off or take their megaphones? They shoulda been made shut up.

Seriously though, there are enough 'prime candidate' posters on here who may very well be out threre protesting (presumably because so many Irish men fought with the allies). If the poppy threads on boards.ie are anything to go by there is an annual outporing of pure hatred at any and all WWI commemorations in Ireland, so I guess these dim wit hecklers may represent their sentiments? questionmark.
