An Irish Spring? Prince Charles, Gerry Adams and Panti Bliss
This has been a doubly historic week in Ireland. The week began with what was a literally "historic" handshake, between Britain's Prince Charles - commander of the UK army's Parachute Regiment which shot dead 13 unarmed protesters on Bloody Sunday, and Gerry Adams , political head of the Irish Republican movement whose military arm murdered Lord Mountbatten -elder head of the Royal Family- along with 18 soldiers , in two attacks on one day. The week ended with the " YES " result in the Irish ' Gay Marriage ' referendum, which saw the same Gerry Adams share a platform with leading cheerleader for the YES Campaign, Rory O'Hanlon, aka- Panti Bliss . A week featuring a current Prince, a former 'terrorist',... and a future Queen? Now, that's some week!
