Shock…Horror….Disbelief…‘Anti-British’ Larne Council refuse to erect loyalist bunting!
Orangemen in Larne have staged a protest outside Council buildings after the Council failed to erect (and pay for) red, white and blue bunting in the town. The DUP Mayor, Bobby McKee, cited equality laws as the reason why Larne Council has failed to erect the bunting. A Council spokesperson claimed they had asked the Order to seek funding for “cultural activities” which could have been used to pay for the bunting, which raises the intriguing prospect of Larne Council paying for green, white and orange bunting under cultural activities were it to be sought at some stage.

You gotta feel sorry for them, the poor deluded fools. Whatever happened to loveulster by the way?
Posted by on Jul 10, 2008 @ 10:30 AMHi Njall,
Don’t worry you’re <a > there… </a>
“Genealogical records show a Njall Glundubh b. circa 850 A.D. in Norway and married to Lund Verch Echach.Parents of Njalsdatter & Muirchertach na G-Cochaill Criceann MacNEILL.
From this man Niall Glundubh the Ulster O’Neills take their surname not from Niall of the Nine Hostages. The first to take O’Neill as his surname was one Domhnall, born circa. 943 A.D. “Descendant of Niall” referring to his grandfather Niall Glundubh.”
It seems Umh’s research skills appear greater than his detractors ;o)

Does anyone apart, from obsessive ethno-facsists, find this stuff relevant?

....Also, just to add ‘Niall of the Nine Hostages’ was the chieftain who supposedly kidnapped St Patrick from Britain (or from where ever) and brought him to Ireland.
.....UMH is gas!
BTW, Floorsucker = ‘hoover’.... aka ‘vacuum cleaner?’ ......great stuff!.....has the Oolster-scoots definitive novel been written yet. Come to think of it….‘Finnegans Wake’ was sort of written in Ulster-Scots when read aloud.

Aye indeed, Oolster Scoots - and that’s where Joyce really got his inspiration!Posted by on Jul 10, 2008 @ 06:52 PMQuag, Greg
Ardent loyalists (or true blue Ulstermen as they are occasionally wont to be known) are a source of rich pickings. One day I’d like to open a museum showing them in their full demented glory 8-)
Posted by on Jul 10, 2008 @ 07:04 PMHi Greagoir,
Cheers for the kind words. Tho’, I think you may be being slightly unfair to many of the other Unionist posters. Would you also agree that there are many Nationalist posters who do not appreciate, the British aspect to their heritage?
I feel our heritage should be uniting us rather than dividing us. The question then is whether that union is Ireland wide or British Isles wide.

Indeed there is Congal Claen and such ignorance is equally indefensible!Posted by on Jul 11, 2008 @ 09:30 AMBritish isles what have they to do with Ireland

As if to underline the point. Well done Steve!
Posted by on Jul 11, 2008 @ 12:21 PMComing back to the thread, this story is a bit of a non-event. Obviously the protesting Orangemen are either dim witted or just going through the motions cos someone at the council has probably already taken them aside and said that they can’t fund only one side of the community because under the new equality legislation the council would have to fund the ‘other side’ too. Of course that’s out of the question so the only way out of it is to not fund anyone. Problem solved, hence token Orange protest for slow learners.
