My mother was a cousin of Kevin Barry but I haven't sang the song for several years, not because I disapproved of him but because his name, like so many others, was hijacked by people who had no mandate to carry on their "war". I don't want to go into another tit for tat atrocity rant but I hope that when Mr. Paisley passes on there will be some more moderate unionist leader who will face today's realitites and leave the past in the past.
