Now the loyalists have another way of claiming they are the victums in all of this, and wont admit that they where just as involed as republicans where in the troubles. The orange men who where marching are connected to the UVF. Whould the british goverment allow the IRA march through the streets of their capital??

The parade was gonna be on their dooorstep for feck sake and they hardly have jobs to go to - What did people expect, perhaps there were some republican influences among the rioters but the vast majority of them were local opportunist scumbags.

Love Ulster was no spark, it was just mindless thuggery that spun out of control because the Gardai failed to control it. Out rioting ever weekend? Paris this ain't!

Firstly this is indicative of what happens when FF make concessions to a UDA/UVF front organisation. Secondly it looks like the confrontation merely provided the spark - if you think about the levels of social and economic deprivation in Dublin in the midst of a supposed age of plenty thanks to the "Celtic Tiger" its a miracle they aren't out rioting every other weekend.

I'm completely with you though, it doesn't make any sense. It's completely unrepresentative of the vast majority of the public. I haven't seen all the footage, but I'm told that at one point the Gardai go for a baton charge and there are innocent shoppers walking/running through it all.

I always felt some comfort south of the border knowing that my friends in the south only ever thought of the North when they wanted to laugh at my accent or something. I'm completely weirded out here. On whose side were the protesters? Speaking as a Northerner…what the heck was going on?
