It may be derived from a line in the republican ballad "The Foggy Dew" And from the plains of Royal Meath Strong men came hurrying through While Britannia's Huns, with their long range guns Sailed in through the foggy dew The non-IRA-version actually has and had that down as "Britannia`s sons" but when folk like Sinead O`Connor uses "Huns" it get`s watered down and is deemed "acceptable".
