Are you blaming the Irish in NI for this?
I can't imagine any catholics up there objecting to it as many thousands of Irishman from south and north fought in both ww1 and ww2.
Take your anger out on TK Maxx but don't blame the catholics for it!!!

I don't think that Mikz is blaming anyone for this. Hes just saying it's like "paddys market" (its a figure of speech) And if you have shopped in it, you would know how everything is all over the place and you can't find anything. Its like an every day jumble sale.....
If you had read the it from the start, there was a quote from a Catholic, called Mary...
"One, named Mary, said "I am a Catholic and I won't shop at TK Maxx again - do they not relise that Catholic people wear poppies too?"
No one is blaming anyone except TK Maxx for this.
