Here are some of the comments online ..
What’s wrong with that?
Last time i checked, we got our independence thanks to the IRA. Why does RTÉ hate Irish people?
Whats the issue here? Wasnt the “Ra” that liberated Ireland from British imperialism? The Albanians also chant “UÇK UÇK”(Kosovo Liberian Army) countries that have fought for indepedence deserve to praise history.
State sponsored censorship. They obviously have an issue with free speech.
Jesus Christ up the ra chants who cares pure woke nonsense need to cut live. Grow the fuck up if up the ra offends you you’re soft. Society is becoming so weak and pathetic that anything offends them 😂
Interesting to see that you have a different approach to reporting than the BBC News Style Guide.
“Do not write Troops were forced to open fire or The company was forced to make hundreds of staff redundant. We are in no position to judge motives, we just report what happened…”
The IRA are responsible for MURDERING many innocent men women and children. The up the Ra brigade should think of this before chanting.
