"Funny IRA songs they sing in Irish bars". Well, I visit a fair few bars myself and seldom hear any IRA songs, "funny" or otherwise. And if they are song, they usually don't receive a very enthusiastic reception. But then I actually live in Ireland, would I be wrong in surmising that the bars referred are in the States and probably frequented by Plastic Paddies.
