Are the Irish getting remembered?

[Waterways]

Waterways was being very racist and bigoted towards the Irish and their music

Where?

Problems with racists is that they dont or cant see where they are being racist.

Discussion ended.

Don't see how Waterways Is bigoted, he hasn't made any blantant Insults towards any Irish.

He just has views that may sound harsh to some.

Also trying to see what the objection is to what Waterways has said. Can you point it out?

Waterways I thought I was bad but you take the P***.

If people of Irish descent want to celebrate Irish culture what is the problem?

Gnomie never said they were the only ethnic group in Merseyside and he has said if other groups wish to celebrate their identitites he has no problem with that.

Your vehemence against the Irish seems to have a sectarian air about reminiscent of Orange order protests against any Catholic or Irish event.

Waterways, such comments can be extremely hurtful. A member of my family danced in Riverdance with Michael Flatley and took Irish music all over the world. Again, a member of Molly's family won the all Ireland Irish dancing championship. No mean achievement and she has medals by the score but is not ostentacious with them.
I myself have played Irish music on mandolin, banjo and guitar in many country's and I can assure you that while it may not :- be yer cuppa tea
It's far from being Diddly Dee

Wouldn't it be brilliant if there was a museum of Irish history on the site where the best way is. Imagine a stunning piece of architecture there as you drove into the city with a park.

If you want Irish history go to Dublin - they will tell you. The famine and the city's role in it, yes of course - but no Irish parades. that is for the Irish to do. And as we don't have many I don't see it happening.

If the city has a day for the Irish we should have one for the Welsh too.

No need to go to Dublin, plenty of Irish history here in LIverpool

Think of what the Mancs did in salford quays with the Lowry art gallery and the idea does not seem so farfetched.

I have the tape made in Radio City music hall New York with Michael Flatley, I also have the one with Colin Dunne this is the one I prefer. To those who don't know, neither one are Irish, Flatley is American of Irish dscent and Dunne is from Birmingham of Irish descent.

This post is clearly intent on trying to stir things up. Even a cretin like this idiot knows there is a lot more Irish culture here.

Up to you people, let him carry on mouthing it or ignore the fool
