I dunno what Andrea Corr has to do with Martin McGuinness...

Absolutely nothing...and the reason I'd rather listen to lil' Andrea sing, pretty Sharon fiddlin', and sweet Caroline drummin' than read yet another episode in the centuries old strife of norn iron.

The way I see it, if you really want those six counties then raise an army and take them. If not, which seems to be the consensus in the ROI, then why make events of your northern neighbors a predominate focus of your lives?

...besides, Mr. McG would look silly singin' Runaway or playing the tin whistle.

Ah, look - I was just joking, you can post pics of The Corrs all you like, I don't care. :)

Because IRA are also enemies of the Republic of Ireland (as ironic as it sounds) - they (including their front organisation) are the biggest threat to Irish democracy at this present time. And there still is the danger of a Loyalist bombing in the south.
