May I ask a question?

I thought this message list was for researching genealogy in Ireland, and
for help in finding Irish ancestors. It seems to be turning into a
political forum in which each has an opinion and can not and will not be
changed. I understand the delicate state of Ireland, and sympathize, but
maybe, (and it's just a suggestion) topics should be limited to only those
of the nature of the mailing list as to avoid more hard feelings.

Just my thoughts.
