Can anybody out there tell me where Love Ulster get the "right " to march in Dublin? People, including Sinn Fein, keep banging on in the newspapers about Love Ulster's "right" to parade their sectarian hatred through our streets. They are not Irish citizens, they do not pay taxes to this state and, in fact, define themselves by their hatred of this country. Would neo-Nazis or the Ku Klux Klan also have the "right" to march in Dublin? What about tax paying Dubliners "right" to access their own city without having to run the gauntlet of a massive Garda security operation and a sectarian parade? There has been no debate on this issue. The Gardai have simply gone ahead and given permission for the march without consulting the people of the city as to our feelings on it. This march would be banned in any nationalist community in the six counties. So why do we have to stage it in the biggest nationalist community on the island? If more rioting takes place as a result of this parade, it will be the Gardai who are to blame. The whole problem could easily be avoided if the Gardai used common sense and revoked their permission for the march to go ahead. However, I believe that the Gardai have another agenda in allowing this parade to be re-staged. When rioting prevented the march going ahead in February 2006, the Guards and some government ministers saw that as a challenge to their authority. They now believe that they must "face down" the dissenters and re-assert their authority. I have no doubt that the Gardai will be far better prepared this time. A ring of steel will no doubt surround the city centre on the day of the march. But who suffers as a result of this aggressive policing? The ordinary tax paying citizens of Dublin-that's who. A modern police force should be above revenge and allowing contentious side shows in order to assert its authority. If the Gardai want to assert their authority and maintain the respect of the people who pay their wages, they could do it by telling Willie Frazier and his odious group-NO!
