What The Lady said was correct.Absolutely correct Perhaps the comment didn't suit the political climate today. Hence the apology for rocking the boat.

Don't forget that as an innocent younster she was burned out of her home in the Ardoyne. This locality and Luganeil is where all the home burnings started - hundreds of the families sought (and were given) refuge south ofthe border. This was a time when people had to pout down theor religion in apllying for a house or a job - and the Catholics were walked upon. This is a fact of history

Retaliation soon followed and it was tit for tat. The murder by British Army of innocent cililians on Bloody Sunday put the fat in the fire and the IRA atrocities came as a result. It is all very well for politicians to be on their arrogant high horses. The lessons of the Ardoyne must not be swept under the carpet - no more than the lessoms of Alabama should be forgotten in the USA.
