Mayor plays down ‘Black and Tans’ comment in book of condolence

MAYOR of Limerick Diarmuid Scully has tried to downplay a crank slogan written in a book of condolence for those who died in the London bombings.

He appealed to the media not to get “their knickers in a twist” over a comment about “remembering the Black and Tans”.

It was written into page three of the book, which is in Limerick City Hall and is already full of signatures.
