this is what your "great quote" leads too

you might what to explain why you think its a great quote.
I understand the sentiment you are trying to put across, but put the phrase into prespective. . .If it wasnt about catholics and protestants, you'd be laughing easy.
i hope you dont take offence at me pointing this out 🙂

There's areas of Dublin, or the republic in general i dont like being in. I've only been up north once, in Ballymena, at a martial arts comp with a bunch of dubs, and we were advised not to go outside the hotel at night.(this would've been about four years ago).
As for the comment i can well believe it happened, and to say it doesnt would be a lie. . .but like i say, i take your point.

what was the name of the hotel?
But we were guests of the White tigers, and the comp was in the sports centre about 3/4 mile down the road. Other things i remember are, possibly a masonic lodge next door, a petrol garrage across the street, down a lane, and across another busier street (vague i know), and a big painting of king billy about 50 yard to the left if standing at the door facing out.
If you wait till tomorrow and search for this thread, i'll post the name for you.

also, was the sports centre in among houses?
Originally posted by trevor33It could've been on the corner, and there was a chinese, and a chip shop across the street. The sport centre was like i said, about 3/4 mile to 1 mile leaving from the hotel turning left, following the rtoad pretty much all the way.

As for the sports centre being near houses, i couldnt say either way, it could be. The competition was opened by the mayor, and i have the program at home, if i wasnt at work right now, i could tell you everything you ask.
