I’m just back from the pub.
The rugby was on.
There was a minutes silence held in the stadium in honour of Shane Geoghegan, who was murdered in Limerick last week.
Usually during minute’s sliences, there’s still a murmer of conversation, the clink of glasses, the odd laugh from some table who doesn’t know what’s going on. Especially if the person is unknown to the community in general.
This evening, in a busy pub in Dublin, there wasn’t a sound. And then there was a round of applause.
It very nearly made me cry.
It’s entirely possible to be both ashamed and proud of your country in one moment.
I kknow that feeling all too well.
I know what you mean. Pride usually wins out in the end althought it is sometimes a close run thing.
The silence in Croker was impressive too.
Nice post there Oney, and I agree. The most silent silence I’ve ever not heard.
I was in the stadium myself. It was a very solemn moment.
We in Limerick are not ashamed. Why would we be ashamed at the actions of scum who aren’t of our community?
We’re not ashamed, and neither should you be.
We’re angry that our State allows these lowlife inbreds to roam the streets unchallenged.
I’m afraid that this will be just one more “watershed killing” . We have had then before – Veronica Guerin and other innocents. Eventually the anger will die away.
Until we have leaders with the political guts to overrule the PC and bleeding heart liberals the problem will not be solved. Fire must be tackled with fire.
Them, rugger buggers had been getting a bit too uppity.
Its about time a liverpool fan put tem back in their box, litterally
Oh dazzle.
*shakes head and hopes no one bites*
Obviously Dazzle, you do not understand what has happened.
Dazzle gets a biter.
Dazzle your comments are rubbish and so is your spelling.
That’s the same Dazzle who said Bertie Ahern was ‘one of the most important men Irish men of our generation’. I think that about says it all.
