"Up The Ra - A Night to Remember. 

Fancy a quiet, relaxing weekend break in Donegal, Republic of Ireland. Unfortunately it may prove to be anything but quiet or relaxing!

The Downings Bay Hotel in Downings, Donegal which last weekend provided entertainment by an Irish folk band 'All Folk'd Up' appear to offer a pleasant evening with a sinister twist with the band chanting "Ooh Ah Up the Ra" and "The I, The I, The IRA", whilst encouraging the audience to do likewise. This could understandably cause  visiting tourists from Northern Ireland who have lived through the worst excesses of the IRA's murderous campaign of bombings and shootings in Northern Ireland to feel extremely uncomfortable and frightened.

Is this acceptable? This is after all a hotel which surely would purport to provide amenities for all patrons, regardless of Nationality, Faith or Background. This was not a Private function and this was public space open to all unsuspecting patrons.
Considering hotels in the Republic of Ireland generate a considerable amount of Revenue from people from Northern Ireland, perhaps this questions needs answered?

On a wider societal context, is this the answer to the question of what kind of place would the Protestant, Unionist and Loyalist community be forced to live in by Irish Nationalists in their so-called 'agreed New Ireland'?
