Yeah, absolutely.

I'm sure it

Yeah, we did an investigation, the Irish Independent, so 30 politicians filed reports with Gardaí about threats of violence, things like getting an envelope in the post with white powder falling out of it, threats that a bullet would be put through their head.

And I think Sinead hit the nail on the head there using the word febrile because online the reaction, when Michael Healy-Wray put out a statement on social media yesterday thanking everybody, among the hundreds of responses, some of the responses were truly worrying and true, like explicit.
matched
I'm not going to repeat them.
matched
But that is a snapshot
matched
what Sinead describes as the febrile nature of, you know, this idea that politicians deserve it.
matched
And there are communities where that sort of thread permeates.
matched
So, yes.
matched
So, yeah, it's it's very concerning.

many people.

One Dublin radio station now has stopped playing his music as a result of this.
matched
Now, he's in some senses, he has been left carrying the can a little bit here because Robert Kraft, who is the owner of the Gillette Stadium, the New England Patriots, he's the person who kicked this off, said that Macklemore, who had said a free Palestine on stage, was banned from his stadium.

Then his promoter, Ed Sheeran's promoter, a guy called Louis Messina, a very big, big wig in US music circles.
matched
He allegedly, according to Ed Sheeran, told Sheeran that other stadia would also not allow the tour to continue if Macklemore was included.
matched
And that led to Macklemore being dropped.
matched
Now, Ed Sheeran,
matched
had a choice to make at that point.
matched
Would he stand with Macklemore, as the other support acts did, or would he continue on?
matched
Now, he chose the latter, and he said that he was doing it partially because he was apolitical, which a lot of investigative journalism has kind of shown up to be not entirely correct.
