As a young person who has witnessed the Ballymun towers in the distance, this song is a great insight to social problems, reminds me of the Irish jounalist, Veronica Guerin and the movie loosely based on her life. (She tryed to take on Drug Pushers, publishing names, but got herself a death sentence for her work. Her death caused an outrage and revolt against Drug culture which unfortunately is still very prevalent in Ireland today.) Why didn't Bono play this at Croke Park? You used to able to see Ballymun Towers from Croke Park.
I agree with you about Veronica Guerin, it definitely reminded me of her life and courage. And I think Croke Park would've been the perfect setting to play that song also. I'm not sure you can still see the towers from Drumcondra any more though?
