Ua nānā au i ka lanakila pāʻani pāʻani pāʻani no nā wāhine Irish ma luna o Scotland ma ka pō Poalua a ua hauʻoli au i ko lākou holomua.
Hʻoiai, ua kaumaha au i ka lohe ʻana ua hīmeni ʻia kahi mele pro-IRA e kekahi hui o nā mea pāʻani ʻōpio i loko o ka lumi ʻaʻahu ma hope o ka pāʻani.
ʻAʻole mahalo paha kekahi o lākou i ke ʻano o ke mele "Ooh, ah, up the 'Ra", akā ʻaʻole ia e kala i ko lākou komo ʻana.
I ka wā i lanakila ai ʻo Limerick i ke poʻo inoa hoʻolele All-Ireland ma 2018, hīmeni nā mea pāʻani a me nā mea pā i ke mele pili i ka IRA. Seán Hema o Garryowen i loko o ka lumi ʻaʻahu o Croke Park a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe.
ʻO ka puke Na Ola Nalo na David McKittrick et al ua papa inoa a hai mai i ka moolelo pokole e pili ana i 3,600 o ka poe i pepehiia ma ka hoouka kaua ino ma Northern Ireland.
He aie ko makou mahalo i ka luna o Irelani Vera Pauw, aole wale no ka holomua o ka hui Irish aka, no kana kalahala kiko'i loa a me ka naau no keia hoino kupono ole i ka poe i hoehaia i keia manawa.
ʻO ʻAukake i hala aku nei, ua pane ka pelekikena ʻo Sinn Féin ʻo Michelle O'Neill i kahi nīnau e pili ana i ka hana ʻino IRA ma ka ʻōlelo ʻana: "Manaʻo wau i kēlā manawa ʻaʻohe mea ʻē aʻe."
I loko o nā pilina kanaka, aia mau nā mea ʻokoʻa maluhia i ka hana ʻino politika.
Inā pono e hui pū ʻia nā poʻe a pau o ʻIlani, ʻaʻole pono ko mākou mau alakaʻi e kala wale no ka pepehi kanaka pono ʻole i hala akā e haʻalele hoʻi i kēlā hana ʻino i ka wā e hiki mai ana.
