Ford was also forced to remove one word by Herbert J. Yates which referred to the Anglo-Irish troubles; at the reception after Sean and Mary Kate were married, Hugh Forbes, the ex-IRA commandant, offers the toast about living in "peace and...freedom". The little pause is not Forbes (played by O'Hara's brother Charles Fitzsimmons) getting choked up at the moment, but where the word "national" originally was.
