      Think the fact that the majority of protestants who live in the Republic have been polled as happy with the state of things here invalidates his claim completely. No one here gives two shits what your religion is

      sectarian, racist gobshite complains without evidence that others are intolerant. That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

      We’re not intolerant of Protestant culture, we’re intolerant of sectarian apartheid and annual “Kill All Taigs” festivals.

      This boy has spent too much time in the lodges. The world is moving on.

      The shit you have to contend with in the workplace if your name is like Fenian McFenianface in the North. They feel superior to you in every way.

      What is Protestant culture? Do all the Protestant sects care about the twelve? I don’t think so.

      I bet he puts his toaster away when he’s done.

    8. Whereas him and his like are pretty much intolerant of everything that isn’t them.

      If he wants to confront bigotry he should start with the man in the mirror. The dup are constantly criticising and throwing digs at Ireland over everything, their contempt for Irish people is palpable

      When it comes to intolerance, the DUP as a whole can get fucked.

      Loyalist in “dismissing Irish unity” shocker.

      Liberal societies cannot be indifferent to discrimination – intolerance towards intolerance is an essential characteristic. The Orange Order is one such discriminatory organisation, it is institutionally bigoted, sexist, and supremacist. Calling it out as such is not a sign of a dysfunctional society, it’s a signifier of a society that values equality and decency.

    12. Honestly this is another case of a public figure having their inside thoughts get loose and on the run outside. Sad.

    13. I’ve lived in 2 different towns in Ireland, both have big Protestant churches in the middle of the town. I have no idea if anyone I know in the towns are Protestant because nobody cares

      That’s probably the best marker of an inclusive society that you can have

      Nobody in the Republican of Ireland cares whether you’re Protestant or Catholic.

      In terms of Irish Unity – nobody of any sane mind cares about that either. Most people, north and south of the border are just trying to put food on the table and go out and do a days work and return home safely to their family, without getting bombed or disappeared. Unity will happen in time, but forcing it will only delay it by generations. Do it once – when it’s right and ready.

      What’s with all the hate filled supremacist states saying we are against their religion?? Believe it or not you can’t defend dodgy actions by saying that anyone who questions it is intolerant of your version of worship to basically the same God…..

      Don’t recall ever having a bonfire and burning effigies of Protestants as a cultural celebration.

    17. larkfield2655 on

      You mean bigotry, hate etc. Yea stuff it – let’s keep the border.

      I’m a southern prod, born and raised, and i have never received any trouble for it, at most i get a little shocked “oh” when i tell people when the topic comes up

    19. peadar87 on

      Another vote from a southern prod turned atheist who has never had a tap of bother from anyone for my ancestry or background.

      Two of our nine presidents have been protestant. Erskin Childers and Douglas Hyde. The latter of which is also the first president of Ireland. Robinson is a bigot baiting moron.

    21. commit10 on

      I guarantee he can’t define “protestant culture” in public.

      If they were improving the lives of their supporters you’d doff your hat and say fairplay to the DUP. “At least the loyalist community is getting wealthier and improving the lives for their children.”

      But that’s not what happens.

      They’re watching their community being beggared.

      They’re leeches on the Loyalist community.

    23. foltchas on

      Yes that awfully oppressed and discriminated against minority in the 26 counties. 

      So heavily repressed that despite their small number and the institutionalised intolerance they face, they have…(checks notes) actually held the offce of Irish President, and currently have a candidate running?!

      Wait a second? Wouldn’t a competent sectarian and discriminatory state take steps to ensure this minority could not run for the office of head of state let alone hold it? 

      I think the 26 counties could learn a little something in disqualifying certain ‘undesirables’ as head of state from our neighbours in England…

      This is for his own crowd, keeps him relevant amongst the supporters nothing else.
