OOH, BAR UP THE RA

JOE Brolly believes the use of the "Ooh, ah, up the Ra" chant "has to go" for there to be reconciliation between unionist and nationalist communities in the North.

Brolly spoke after concert goers sung the chant, which is part of the Wolfe Tones song Celtic Symphony, at the Feile an Phobail festival in Belfast last weekend.

The Derry GAA legend believes the chant is a "nuisance" and thinks people should refrain from using it.
