Politicians have condemned a video of passengers appearing to sing a pro-IRA chant at Dublin Airport.
The video, posted to social media on Saturday, features lyrics from Celtic Symphony by The Wolfe Tones. Minister of State for Northern Ireland, Steve Baker, said he was "deeply concerned" and the video was "profoundly disrespectful to the victims of terrorism"."We are seeing a growing pattern of incidents in sectarian chants across different parts of society," he said.Fianna Fail senator for Louth, Erin McGreehan, described the footage as "disappointing, upsetting and heartbreaking".
Fianna Fáil TD for Dublin North West Paul McAuliffe said: "We build the case for a united Ireland by creating a shared island. "One doesn't necessarily lead to the other but it makes this place we call home a better place for all of us to live. Dropping a few lyrics isn't a great sacrifice to make others feel included and part of us," he added.Attempts at trying to rationalise this are as patethic as the actual chanting.And save the 'whataboutery'. Alliance and many others consistently call out Loyalism too.
