Is it okay to play rebel songs at a festival?

Electric Picnic has come and gone from another weekend, but one of the highlights for some would have been the Wolfe Tones playing the main stage yesterday. Was it okay for thousands of fans to chant “oh ah up the ra”? Or do we need to start having a mature conversation around rebel songs? To discuss, Kieran is joined by Ronan McGreevy, Irish Times journalist, author of 'Great Hatred: The Assassination of Field Marshall Sir Henry Wilson MP' and Ben Lowry, Editor of The Belfast Newsletter.
