I'm sure that John was thinking of the Boyne, with the Northern Irish connection, as those were the tartans he has selected, rather than Aughrim which is in Galway, Ireland
Just to support the accuracy in what Paul is saying go to any news site any look up Ardoyne. It is a section of north Belfast and been the scene of a lot of clashes the last few days, last night in particular. The whole genesis of these occurences is the Battle of the Boyne. (offered without any comment).
