It's hard to find a house of stone, brick or wood these days. Glass seems to be the only construction material left. All that bright light makes stone throwing so much easier. I assume the writers of this song saw the name "Majella" and gave it a Spanish pronunciation. Here it would be pronounced with a hard "J". But I fear this is not their only misreading. I am guessing here, but I would imagine the family, friends and neighbours or Majella O'Hare would be Nationalists/Republicans. They might think it bizarre (or even incredibly offensive) that they have been held responsible for her killing. They might even think it odd that their Protestant/Unionist neigbours are also being held responsible.
