Their 2018 concert finished amid controversy when chants including "Up the Ra" were sung by many in the 10,000-strong crowd on the same day families gathered in Omagh to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Real IRA bombing that claimed 31 lives.
Mr Dorrian told the Belfast Telegraph that a recurrence of last year's performance - during which Tricolours daubed with IRA slogans were also waved by fans who'd gathered see the Irish rebel band - would not be tolerated. "There absolutely cannot be a repeat of last year's incident," he said.

Anyone in The UK making pro-terrorist pro-EU cuck chants should be locked up.

Surrender or you'll die
For we are the Brigton Derry Boys

You know, there was once a ideology amongst conservatives that people should have the right to govern themselves as they see fit, without an intrusive government telling them what they cant do. Too bad we've abandoned those principles.
Ireland should be its own country and if they chose to join the EU then so be it.

Ireland is its own country and is a part of the EU.
Northern Ireland is a part of the UK which is leaving the EU. Northern Ireland wants to continue to be a part of the UK, doesn't want to be ruled by Ireland, but also wants to continue to be in the EU. The reason they want to be in the EU is that there are no hard borders between EU countries, meaning people and goods can pass through unheaded. The open border between Ireland and Northern Ireland was a major sticking point of the peace treaty signed which ended the long-standing war and civil unrest on the Emerald Isle.
Pro-Remain groups are threatening that the closure of the border would be a violation of the peace agreement, which would trigger the restart of the war. However, I'm extreamly skeptical. I think this is just fear-mongering. While a controlled border (not completely closed) would be unpopular, the reasons for the decades old war (religious differences) largely don't exist anymore. Ireland is not near as Catholic as it used to be and Northern Ireland isn't as Protestant anymore. While there is still some cultural animosity, it mostly plays out over the soccer pitch rather than over fixed bayonets.
I think this is just another "the sky is falling" fear-mongering tactic that globalists always invoke any time an election is threatened to not go their way. Just think of how many times they said that the economy would collapse under Trump, yet it's doing better than it has in 50 years. It's the same thing.

After the Irish rebels killed Michael Collins, the IRA lost almost all legitimacy. Collins had the authority to negotiate a settlement and the settlement that he negotiated was, IMHO, excellent. All IRA military operations should have ceased at that point.
