Last week I attended one of the many events organised by Feile an Phobail this year. It was a discussion involving four women- journalist Amanda Ferguson as chair, Claire Mitchell, Linzi McLaren and Claire Hannah. At the meeting I learnt a new word: “The Happy Lundies”. This is a term, I’m told, devised by former loyalist Davy Adams, to describe people who had been part of the Protestant Unionist Loyalist (PUL) constituency but who had migrated to a new ground, where they were happily in favour of or at least willing to explore the notion of a reunited Ireland.
