SDLP assembly member Patsy McGlone has now said sectarianism should not be ignored after the Department of Justice (DoJ) ruled out introducing legislation to tackle sectarian music or songs. Earlier this month, a large group of loyalists were filmed singing the offensive song during the Royal Black Institution’s annual parade in Scarva, Co Down. At least two bands played ‘No Pope of Rome’, a tune that shares the same air as American folk song Home on The Range. The song includes the words “No, no Pope of Rome, no chapels to sadden my eyes, no nuns and no priests, no Rosary beads, every day is the Twelfth of July”. “Currently, any potential offence may be considered under Part III of the Public Order (NI) Order 1987,” a spokeswoman said.
