Comment on Unusual… by Branno's ultra-left t-shirt

The other letter on the topic came from John Brickley, Bandon, Co. Cork. He said
“While Fitzpatrick’s “ballad” may have been in questionable taste, Mayor Gillian Coughlan’s reaction is laughable. To suggest the song could “stir up sectarian animosity” smothers the events of the Bandon Valley massacre in a cloak of triviality. Why is the idea that West Cork Protestants could have been killed because of their religious denomination such an unconscionable thought for contemporary society? If a song could threaten interdenominational harmony in 2013, as Coughlan alleges, does this not raise the possibility that people could have been killed a century ago due to a combination of greed, envy and sectarian hatred? The mayor does a disservice to her home town and those engaged in historical research to see it in such simplistic terms.’
