Fine Gael students in Cork propose honor for Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher

She saved the UK. Ireland has to get off it liberal base. Bobby Sands was good theater, but didn't help the Catholics of Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is on the verge of having a Catholic majority, because of the Pro-Life principles that Thatcher believed in. The Catholic Majority for the North was not brought about by IRA bombs, but instead by the Catholic mothers of Northern Ireland.

bottle stopper aholes of the world unite

Why not just put up a statue of satin . What are you idiots thinking?

WTF????

WTF?????

Didn't she always suffer from dementia?

I feel the same way about the statue of the rapist in Ballybunion........shameful!!!

These the same students who litter the streets with burger and chip wrappers and urinate in peoples letterboxes out the Western Road? Goodluck getting the support of the people of Cork.

Bobby Sands is spinning in his grave!

Maggie Thatcher is getting beatified?? Now I have a reason to drink.

While Meryl Streep may deserve an honour for her portrayal of Thatcher in the film "Iron Lady", Thatcher herself deserves no honour from Irish men and women. And I know some British folks whose jobs were made redundant under Thatcher who feel the same way about honouring her in her native land.

These children have a distorted sense of history to be honoring such a "lady".

One would hope that these students read up on Thatcher's "Cromwell Solution" to the six counties, before naively considering such a move.

Too bad Cork wasn't under her jurisdiction when she was PM. Then the students who admire her economic policies would find themselves in a completely impoverished place. Laissez-faire capitalism, as well as crony and lazy socialism and crony capitalism, are not wise policies for the common good.

Oh please, this is a very excellent way to air and educate on any grievances against Thatcher and the consequences of her policies. This is exactly what a student debate society should do.
