Looks like certain groups are getting back to their old selves again.
WHY don't these people just stop these stupid parades, grow up and join the rest of the civilised world ?
It's HISTORY ! GET OVER IT !
As for the religious nonsense...no wonder (and thank goodness) I'm an Atheist.
One place I definitely won't be going to visit ....EVER.
You are not missing much other than extortionately overpriced hotels and restaraunts . The only reasonably priced place we could find to eat was weatherspoons which is just one step up from the fish and chip shop. I like Indian and Chinese food but the ones in belfast set their prices high enough to ensure they dont get too many customers , they must like it that way , nice and quiet so they wont have to serve anyone . The extortion racket starts with the car ferrys which seem to set their prices as a cartel which I thought was not legal . The cost of sailing accross the Irish sea is approximately 10 times the price of sailing to France over roughly the same distance , its no wonder the Irish ferrys run mostly empty . Why would anyone visit Ireland on holiday when you can get to France for a fraction of the price.
My mother is Irish (Southern), and my first memories are of a lovely holiday spent on the family farm there.
Her family are Irish Presbyterian, but she always pointed out that in the friendly communities there, Protestants and Catholics get along fine.
It seems to be the 'Loyalists' stirring things up in Belfast. Such a shame they can't put it all behind them. Parading around in a provocative way is never going to help anything. It should just be banned altogether IMO....and all that thuggish graffiti removed.
My ex is in Donegal , shes catholic and she has brothers and father who are protestant but never seen anything said or done against either side , its seems to be not an issue once you get outside Belfast / Londonderry etc .
