Such fascist causes as these:

He was deeply involved in the Peace Movement
Joined the fight for International Civil Rights
Brendan Behan Commemoration Day
Current interest in Anti Drink/Drive movement
Director of the Beaumont Foundation(Diabetes Research)

He has been honored by these organizations:

    * The Irish Republic Music Writers
    * The Irish Association of Songwriters and Composers
    * The U.S. Irish Cultural Society
    * The U.S. Brendan Cup Committee
    * Irish Music Rights Organisation Songwriter of the Year
    * Beaumont Foundation Cultural Award 2000
    * Goal/Rwanda Award
    * The Peace Train '89 Award
    * Omagh Awareness Award
    * Stenaline UK Songwriter of the Decade

You may not like his politics, and you may not like his songs, but claiming reactionary and fascist attitudes from this list of organizations and causes is simply silly.
