    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Features a brief cameo from the actual Gerry Adams (former Sinn Fein president). The band asked him, assuming he'd say no, but he agreed, though "he changed 'fucking' to 'flipping'," says Mo Chara. "We thought he'd have a problem with the drugs, but it was just the profanity."
    • Goofs
      Reference is made to Irish Catholics going to Mass rocks to give "the middle finger to British rule by sneaking here to practise their own religion and speak their own language." But speaking Irish was never illegal, and in any case Catholic Mass was said in Latin at the time.
    • Quotes
      • Arló Ó Cairealláin: Every word of Irish spoken is a bullet fired for Irish freedom.
