The Five Demands

Gerry Adams, ha citato le parole di una canzone di Christy Moore “Who knows? Who can tell? Is this heaven or is this hell? Anyone for the last few choc ices?” facendo un resoconto sul power sharing, che festeggerà il suo secondo anniversario l’8 maggio, segnando il periodo più lungo di attività delle istituzioni politiche da quando il vecchio regime Stormont venne sciolto nel 1972.
Adams ha incentrato le sue dichiarazioni sul rapporto con il DUP.
DUP che ha sempre lottato contro il Sinn Fein ed ora invece si ritrova a condividere il governo con i repubblicani, continuando però ad esternare pubblicamente commenti negativi sul partito.”Forse riflettono le loro insicurezze. Forse ci credono veramente “, ha dichiarato Adams.

While Christy Moore has been known to draw on republicanism in his work, now it seems Sinn Fein is being inspired by his music.
Party president Gerry Adams was looking forward to the second anniversary of the power-sharing government which is set to be reached on May 8.
“That’s the longest period that the political institutions have been functioning since the old Stormont regime was stood down in 1972,” he wrote this week.
Mr Adams focused on his party’s developing relationship with the DUP. He said the unionist party had spent decades trying to smash Sinn Fein, but was now in government with republicans.
He accused the DUP of, nevertheless, engaging in sham fights with Sinn Fein and of remaining unnecessarily negative in its public comments. “Maybe they have worked out that this is the line the unionist constituency wants to hear.
“Maybe it reflects their own insecurities. Maybe they really believe it,” he said.
But he drew inspiration from his record collection, quoting Christy Moore’s Lisdoonvarna lyrics, and added: “Who knows? Who can tell? Is this heaven or is this hell? Anyone for the last few choc ices?”
