Of course Easter Lilies don't belong in Stormont.
Nettles and thorn bushes and spiny Cacti would be much more suited.
Poison Ivy and and Deadly Nightshade as well maybe.

Nice to see that progressive Republicanism has not forgotten its roots.
I'd hang Garlic from all the windows and doors.
It works for me.

There sure are a few "Impailers" in there all right Vlad.
“Ireland's patriot dead did not give their lives for the resurrection of Stormont. Indeed, those who will claim to honour them in Stormont tomorrow are the very same people who have recently described their actions as treason against Ireland.”
By "their actions" you mean the cowardly murder of a couple of unarmed men collecting a pizza.
"Their actions" are doing to republicanism,in all its guises,what the Brits never could do....that is, extinguish it.
(Quote) "By "their actions" you mean the cowardly murder of a couple of unarmed men collecting a pizza."
Regardless of what you think about the tragic loss of life, I'd hardly call walking up to a fortified British Army base "Cowardly". Plus, the guardtower by the gate where they were killed held an armed security officer (who was subsequently criticized by press and politicians for not returning fire and attempting to defend the soldiers). Subsequent statements have made mention that one of the gunmen gave covering fire towards the tower whilst the other fired into the soldiers.
On a related note, I think it's a bit weird that certain members of mainstream political parties (including those in government) were commemmorating and honouring the names of past Irish Republicans who had committed similar (perhaps even much worse?) acts.
Wasn't it Michael Collins who dragged a few of those British Agents out of their beds and "executed" them? Pretty nasty affair....and as I can remember, a few of them were not politiely asked to get dressed, load their service revolver and meet Micko and the boys at St Stephens Green for (what in the above posters terms) would have perhaps been a "fair shootout."
