Comment on Left TDs and Councillors call for vote for Seamus McDonagh in Meath-East By-Election by Joe

It’s an interesting point – McCann’s about people in the South being averse to street violence cos of the Troubles. Over the last number of years I have been reduced to pretty inarticulate rage about the political situation down here. I’ve gone on the odd march and thought that we should be throwing stones and breaking windows at least. What has stopped me is the realization that if I was engaged in that type of stuff, the great majority of my fellow stone throwers would be various shades of riras and ciras and eirigis and irps. So no thanks.
Of course the other thing that stopped me is that I’m a chickenshit.
