Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí feed off creating controversy, but have Kneecap gone too far this time?  What started as post-Coachella backlash has snowballed into one of the most explosive rows in the music industry in years. Are the statements and videos at the heart of the controversy defiant political art, or are they dangerous incitement disguised as satire?  Where do we draw the line between protest and provocation — and who gets to decide?
