Thanks for your reply, Noel.

I think you know I am not besmirching Irish people in general. I am quite directly criticising the Pro-Life Irish Catholic Establishment who in recent decades have been exposed as having behaved quite wickedly, even criminally, towards huge sections of vulnerable Irish citizens, all in the name of God. And attempted to cover up their evil behaviour.

I am saying that it might be understandable that people who were perceived to represent that group might not be welcome. But by all accounts they did turn up and there were no problems.

Just an aside, I've never attended a pro-Life march, are groups who promote contraception allowed to join in?
