What happened to them was vindictive and not only a stain on their honour but on the honour of Ireland

Sounds pretty harsh to me, but then so do many things others view as legitimate.
I know there's that whole we hate the english thing, but I wonder how much solidarity germany would have shown ireland had britain been occupied?

Be interesting to hear the program when it's on. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b018xtr9

there is a campaign underway to have the Irish Government officially erase the stain on their names.

seems like the only stain is on ireland for having such a 'list' in the first place.

RTE has done many primetime documentaries on the ignorance.
ignorant pricks still exist just like the zombies do
(bonus to the first correct zombie link)

RTE? Zombies?
You've lost me on both counts.

In one context Zombies were WW2 Canadian Army draftee's who refused overseas service but that usage obviously does not apply here.

I don't have any dogs in this hunt but a deserter is a deserter, even in a "good" cause so some sort of official sanction from the Government of Eire does not seem unreasonable.

They were formally dismissed from the Irish army, stripped of all pay and pension rights, and prevented from finding work by being banned for seven years from any employment paid for by state or government funds.

A special "list" was drawn up containing their names and addresses, and circulated to every government department, town hall and railway station - anywhere the men might look for a job.

It's one thing to be booted out the Irish Army but to stop them looking for work when they returned home is bang out of order.

So.. are you saying Irish don't know what's best?

The beauty about your lame attempts here MH is that with your bunkervision you represent exactly the same section of Israeli society that mirrors the braindead zombie section of Irish society which is mentioned in the article.

Please gents....lets keep it civil.

ok, so I think I'm clear on the 'zombies' reference, though there still seems to be some interpretation from others here

But RTE? An educated guess would infer that it's a TV station... (I don't have TV in my house, so that's my best effort)

It is from Delores O'Riordan after the braindead idiots murdered another two kids.

It is Irelands attempt at a BBC.
