Someone's rained on our parade.
(From Irish Independent)
Frankly, the Irish tend to go slightly overboard with public celebration.
Whether it's those awful events in Phoenix Park every decade or so to celebrate the fact that our national soccer team didn't get hammered, or our annual Paddy's DayPukeathon, there is something so desperate and insecure about an Irish street party that, well, they just seem slightly sad.
But the EU Accession Day celebrations, due to be held on May 1, actually promised to beradically different because, if nothing else, they signified something important.
Whatever about the arguments of the Republic holding a giant concert alongside a simulcast from Belfast (I don't recall Norn Iron being given the Presidency of Europe, do you?) the rumours doing the rounds were that U2 were going to be the headline act for a major gig that would be broadcast around Europe.
So the news that the whole thing has been cancelled is disappointing to say the least.
Why did the organisers need to shut down O'Connell Street for nine days? And why did the BBC decide to pull the plug when it was informed that O'Connell Street was not goingto be provided.
