[DMCForum] Re: Separate entrances into Dunmurry

I remember an Irish DMC Employee at a DCS Car Show (George Crane?, Robert
Lamrock?) say basically the same thing... Geographical reasons, not religious.

Subject: Separate entrances into Dunmurry (was Re: The 2nd Amendment)

Hi Bob,

I don't think JZD decided he'd have a Catholic entrance and a 
Protestant entrance to the factory. The factory was built between 2 
housing estates, 1 Catholic, 1 Protestant, so in building an entrance 
from each side, it allowed both communities access to the factory 
without walking too far. I don't think they would have refused entry 
to a Protestant person if he decided to get some fresh air before his 
day of work, and walked around to the "catholic" entrance!

A silly point I know, but no point in re-enforcing a myth about 
Catholic/Protestant entrances existing for any reason other than to 
allow people living on both sides (geographically speaking) of the 
factory easier access.

Just like the UK, it's a pretty rare event in Ireland when someone is 
shot, and our gun laws are very strict. The Gardai (cops) don't have 
them either over here. Who knows why, but it isn't as big a problem 
in Ireland as it is in America. That said, I've never felt nervous 
about being in the USA with regard to guns etc.

John
