It was a mistake to have a DUP conference remark that " we cannot have Southern Irish Warships attacking Northern Irish Fishing Vessels ". The political opportunity was given and taken, and if it was not directed by a responsible agency then we need a clearing agency for Rules of Engagement or Detention.It was the year of fire...the year of destruction...the year we took back what was ours.
It was the year of rebirth...the year of great sadness...the year of pain...and the year of joy.
It was a new age...It was the end of history.
It was the year everything changed.

It was rushed through the courts to get rid of it...'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

I agree with ancientmariner; there's always an agenda, a backstory. Somebody is pushing their point of view and the Naval Service are just the pointy end of the stick; following orders and doing what they are told. The DUP don't give a rat's ass about fisheries unless it has potential to stick it to the South. Playing with people's lives just to score political points.

The bit I've found most enlightening (for want of a better word) is the response from two separate people in Ireland (an old school friend and a relative), both of whom found it hysterically funny that the Irish Navy had anything that could be described by anybody as a warship. But that opens another can of worms...'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
