Eh, the last island wide election was a triumph for nationalism and independence. Failed diplomacy and negotiation partitioned the country.
Britain were the ones that ignored democracy and the results of ann election.
But yeah, republicans are to blame for everything
State funeral for Prime Minister Bruton on Saturday. I’m in Dublin tomorrow. I’ll make it my business to get to the Mansion House to sign the Book of Condolences.

Funnily enough there were local women from a nationalist background who got caught up in the whole princess di hysteria…wouldn’t bother themselves to attend a wake down the road, but took themselves over to london for the funeral. People are funny.

A fella I know’s missus flew to London for the Queens funeral. Jesus, and you think you know someone. I mean he was from Cork, but even still.

Are condolence books ever checked before the family gets them?
They would want to check this one anyway.
