Finn McCool Irish Republican Army invades Canada?? (14) RE: Irish Republican Army invades Canada?? 10 Jul 01


Give me a break! There was no IRA until Michael Collins founded the organization in the nineteen teens, followed by the "five glorious years". Canada is safe!!

BTW, I am interested to know if our British friends take offense at hearing *old* IRA songs at folk gatherings. I can certainly understand British objections to "Provie" songs, but has suffcient time elapsed to consider 1920's to 1950's IRA tunes as inoffensive historical curiosities? IMO, there is some *great* folk music there.

Sorry for the thread drift.
