The Republic equates them with the Ulsters in the North. Basically, your question is your answer. I refuse to do the "Tague/Prod" thing, and refer to the "troubles" as North and South.

It's a shame for those of us that are in the culture since those Saffron Kilts are awesome!

As I ALWAYS say... wear what you like. Just know the tartan and the history so that you can deflect any confrontations. For the majority of those on this board, the chances of it happening are not high. Atleast, we'll have the knowledge to know any comments IF they occur.

It's always best to know WHAT you're wearing or displaying. Suppose some poor European guy walked into Gilly's in Texas, sporting a "Hello Kitty" shirt. Education be goodly.
