    intially, the army was brought in to bring peace and order, as the nationalists, even the moderate, did not, due to fear, wish to have the ruc and the b specials into their community as they dealt with them differently to the protestants. (as promised by the secretary, Heath - of course he said one thing to one community and another to the other) The british were initally welcomed, families even brought tea out to them, army lads start going out with the girls. however, all of this was to the disguist of a minority of protestant/loyalist community, between that and of course derry in 1969 (bloody friday) and a number of other blunders, the army became enemies - ala battle of the bog side. (obviously not as straight forward as this, and i assume you are aware of this - this is just to try and see if the op meant this)

    thre should be no question or even thought about taking away the national athem from the gaa circuit because if we rightly remember why the gaa was set up for in the first place


    and lets not forget about the tipperaray player gunned down in croke park on the original bloody sunday,,so takin away the national athem would take away our history
