A few strange choices coming up here.
Some feel uneasy about Irish republican songs and those who perform them. Would they prefer to see Ireland still under the heel of British Imperalism, or Irish men and women living as second class citizens in their own country?
Would that situation make them uneasy?

The Clancy's and the Makem's supported Republicanism and when the struggle demanded armed conflict with the British they supported the IRA. All part of the process towards freedom and peace which the republicans have won.
Thankfully we have moved into a new phase but the irish people would never have achieved freedom and justice without the IRA and the armed struggle and any attempt to argue otherwise is "specious"

I don't feel uneasy about republican songs or republicanism. I see to day a strong Ireland which is proud of its history, its music, and its hero's. I only wish we Scots could say the same, if we win freedom it will be for only materialistic reasons, not ideological ones, our native music and language despised or ignored by the vast majority of "Scots".....Ake
