No, no, what I am saying is that anybody who is in a position of public influence when there is a civil conflict going on which is costing people's lives has a responsibility to think about the consequences of what they do and accept responsibility for it.
this is what we do, this is the political import of what we are about and we are willing to take the consequences of that, we are willing to stand up and defend it.

_ No, no, what I am saying is that anybody who is in a position of public influence when there is a civil conflict going on which is costing people's lives has a responsibility to think about the consequences of what they do and accept responsibility for it.
If the Wiltones came out and said yes this is what we do, this is the political import of what we are about and we are willing to take the consequences of that, we are willing to stand up and defend it.
What they do continually is do it and then deny it.
I will distill that question down.
If you have 20, 22 year olds going to your gigs and it is oo-ah up the rah and it persuades a few of those young people to join the IRA.
They don't.
No, if it does, I mean maybe they don't.
People are that easily led.
I am just asking a simple question.
If you listen to Vincent, people are that easily led.
I don't think young people of Ireland who are very educated today and have been for the last 25 years, they are not easily led.
The Wiltones do a show, hold on now, the Wiltones do a show that encompasses every aspect of Irish life.
Every aspect.
We don't hide under.
Have you written a song about IRA murders for example?
Have you written a song about Ellis Gillan?
Have you written a song about T-Bone Cross?
Every _ _ _ _ _ _ _ aspect you said.
Have you written about IRAs?
No I haven't.
No you haven't.
_ Pat can I ask [D] a question here?
Vincent, do you think that the IRA are the only people who have killed in Northern Ireland?
No, no I don't.
No, no.
I've killed lots of Catholics.
_ Can I again, hang on Vincent, I want to ask one question of you.
You characterize yourself as, hang on, this is my show. _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ One question.
I _ promise to keep quiet after that.
I just want to ask this one question.
Vincent, what group is responsible for the British Army's killing of Catholics in Northern Ireland?
What group do you blame for their killings?
The Dublin Bombing.
I blame the people [D] who carried them out.
But nobody wrote ballads.
Who do you blame?
Who do you put it on? _
_ You know the British Army killed lots of Catholics in Northern Ireland.
You know that.
Hang on, you said one question, [Eb] now let him answer.
Do you think that the IRA are the only people who have killed in Northern Ireland?
I have never claimed the IRA are the only people.
What I said earlier on was that the IRA was responsible for a thousand deaths out of the three thousand.
That's what I said.
A thousand out of three thousand.
Which is probably an understatement.
So who killed the other two thousand?
_ Let me answer this question.
Nobody has ever written a song celebrating Bloody Sunday.
Nobody has ever written a song celebrating the Shankill Butchers.
You have written songs which celebrate the movement which carried out atrocities against Irish people.
What songs?
Now tell me, explain the songs that you are talking about.
Tell me the names of the songs.
The names of the songs you are talking about.
Perhaps you can tell me.
No, you tell me.
You are so much of an authority.
Tell me the names of the songs you are talking about.
Give me the names.
Three songs.
Just give me two.
Three songs, right.
The Helicopter Song, Joe McBarney _ and _ Celtic Symphony.
It's about the IRA.
No, it's not about the IRA.
It is, of course it is.
It's about the Celtic Football Club.
Celtic Football supporters.
It's not about the IRA.
You are giving me very poor examples.
Can I just ask a question?
I want to ask a question.
[Fm] Please, can I have a question?
Here is [Eb] the question.
_ _ _ Thanks very much Noel for allowing [D] me to ask the question.
Ladies and gentlemen, look at this.
He can't even give me three examples.
I've given you three examples. Brian, Brian.
[Ab] The Helicopter Song.
Okay, Brian, Brian.
That was us.
Thank you.
[Em] _ Here is the question.
_ Balladeers, traditional balladeers wrote songs [Gb] about everything.
They satirized everything.
Both sides of an argument.
If they saw _ _ leprechaunism and shamrockery in City Hall, by Irish people they satirized that.
They satirized the British.
They satirized everything.
Fintan's point really is that you guys only look at one particular slant.
It's an Irish nationalist slant.
_ A traditional Ezozimus, for example, would have written a song lamenting what happened at Enniskillen.
Lamenting the loss of life.
You guys have not chosen to write songs when the IRA have done terrible things.
A balladeer traditionally might have said, yes, the [Eb] grieving children, the grieving widows, the grieving widowers and so on.
They might have written a song about that.
But you guys have chosen to ignore.
I've written a very good song about peace. _
For the peace agreement.
_ It's the song of liberty.
_ There's a very special line in that song.
There's a very special line in that song that says, I hate to see children crying.
I hate to see children crying.
We must stop all the struggle and dying.
And God knows we saw enough sorrow and suffering for the children of this country.
I cry when people are killed in the north of Ireland.
I cried when Joe MacDonald died.
I cried.
No one was stopping.
_ I hurt when people hurt.
Why don't you express that in a song?
I do.
Why don't you express that in a song about the victims of the IRA?
You just said you've never written a song.
Can I draw a veil over this?
I can't be all things all men. _ _
Nice people to meet.
[Eb] I think we've ventilated the arguments.
The people at home, the people here, will have made up their minds at this stage whether they're supporting Fenton's thesis or whether they're supporting_
_ I'm trying to get your name right.
_Bern,
Nagel and Warfield, formerly known as the Wolfstones, formerly of the Wolfstones.
Thank you very much for coming in.
Noel [N] and Tommy and Brian and Fenton, thank you.
Okay. _
End of party.
See you in a couple of minutes' time.
