We didnt want to sign up to the Belfast/St Andrews Agreement but we had to or plan B would have been introduced. Such a load of crap. They have not acted at all like people who were being forced to do something which they didn't want to do. They are positively going out of their way to lick ass, kow-tow and sell out. But what do you expect when the same man Robinson ''Insisted that Ulster goods be labelled Irish' rolleyes

Peter Robinson joins call for All-Ireland Fleadh in Derry
Tuesday, 25 January 2011

First and Deputy First Ministers Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness have backed Londonderry as the venue for the All-Ireland Fleadh in 2013.

The Assembly leaders have written to the organisers suggesting that as Derry will hold the UK City of Culture title that year, it would be an appropriate opportunity to bring the event north of the border for the first time.

The organisers of the Fleadh, a festival which attracts up to 250,000 visitors and 10,000 musicians from all over the world, confirmed that they will be in Derry within the next few weeks for meetings which could see the event being held in the city.

Fleadh director general Senator Labhras O Murchu said they had received a letter from Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness asking for the event be held in Derry in 2013, and pointing out that since the Good Friday Agreement things had changed tremendously.

Senator O Murchu said: “We are looking at the possibility of holding the Fleadh in Derry in 2013 and we will come to the city next month to assist with the application and meet with councillors and other parties to discuss the finer points such as accommodation that would be available during the Fleadh. “There certainly is no reason why the Fleadh could not be staged north of the border and it very nearly was when Warrenpoint put in an application which narrowly missed out, and that was during the height of the Troubles.”

On a local level, councillor Mark H Durkan said staging the Fleadh in Derry would be a real coup for the city.

He added: “The All-Ireland Fleadh is a major cultural and social event on this island.

“It attracts musicians and lovers of music not just from all across Ireland but from across the world.

“Having the Fleadh here would be an excellent opportunity to showcase our truly unique Irish culture to visitors from all around the world.

“The impact of such a high-calibre event on the local economy would be very positive and much-needed. Also, it would give Derry's own traditional music scene a tremendous boost.

“I have often said that staging events is essential to grow tourist numbers to Derry — and events don't come much bigger than the Fleadh.”

Treacherous traitor, his only loyalty is money and power. If things don’t change soon, we’re heading in the one direction towards the complete irishisation of Ulster within our lifetimes.

Yes,no way are we moving in the way of strengthening our bonds with Britain. Its been a constant movement in the opposite direction. I think a blind man could see that. Yet there are those within unionism who tell us the 'union is strong'while at the same time playing their part in weakening it. The irishisation of British Ulster is a part of this.

There has been enough prove of this stated by irish republicans themselves that their plan is to wean unionists away from a British Ulster identity and unto an Irish identity. They added this would be easier done with those who seen themselves as British and Irish. So the natural reaction to all this by the unionist people you would think would be to move in the opposite direction,having nothing to do with this enticement of irish republicans and promoting (even more so) all things British and Ullish. But no! they are actively engaged in going along with republicans in the longtime eventual surrender of Ulster into an all-Ireland state.

Sandy Row youngsters have already taken part in the Belfast paddy day parade,and those from Belfast Media with a guy who's irish name I'll not even attempt to spell visited Sandy Row,invited by Loyalists from there. So its all moving in the way required to bring Ulster to heel.
