Zed don’t forget the dublin bombings and section 32/1

FF put country first, unlike IRA/SF who put their cowardly murderous campaign first

FF put country first! Are you for real? FF put FF first. It the overriding reason we are now in the mess we are.

@Noddy even a cursory look at the actual facts clearly clearly show FF made the correct and unpopular decisions, the fact that Ireland is now decoupled from the other EU countries that currently need support proves this

@ Stephen
“Actual” facts? What other type of facts are there?
Pedantry aside, Is quitting when the going gets tough, putting your country first? Is continuing to live an obscenely lavish lifestyle while lifesaving frontline service are decimated, putting your country first? Is touring the country to promote your autobiograpy, while still being paid as a sitting TD, putting your country first? Is refusal to cooperate with the tribunals, putting your country first? Is being pissed on the national airwaves in the middle of the greatest financial disaster in the history of the state, putting your country first? Is refusing to hold by-elections, thus refusing thousands of citizens their constitutional right to representation, putting your country first? Is giving your property-developer buddies favourable tax breaks to maintaining party funding, putting your country first? I could go on, but I’m sure you get my point.

I will always make time to expose the truth about cowardly IRA scum and their apologists who still refuse to accept the truth about their past

I am proud to have worked for such a true patriot

Dick Roche – a Patriot. Christ his own mother wouldn’t say that about him, frankly I don’t even think most FF’ers would say that about him. Were you the one that suggested that he go for the recount when he was shown the door by the people of Wexford. By God, he made some fool of himself that day, Which was like a lot of days to be honest. Possibly the most incompetent Minister of the last Govt. but I suppose in his defense he wasn’t an all out traitor and criminal like Brian Lenihan.

@Sean "moving on" is something Baron Adams failed to do last night with his one side history lesson and by telling his audience that dead terrorists hunger strikers were their role models?

The terrorists who ended their lives by refusing to eat did so by choice, unlike the 2,000 who had no choice as their lives were brutally ended by cowardly terrorist scum.

Plus only 2 years ago their gunning running TD proudly collected the killers of Gardai Jerry McCabe from prision – how is this "moving on"?

Sinn Féin is moving forward and many of those leading the way are former IRA Volunteers – to suggest they “break all links with former IRA men” is pure nonsense and hows how little you know about the party or republicanism. On another note, can I expect you to make similar calls about members of the Labour Party who are ex-OIRA Volunteers?

Look at Im just saying if they want to move forward you can’t have former gunman running in elections .. Sinn Fein has it’s supporters but if you want to appeal to the man on the street you need a bit more like Paul Donnelly and Mary Lou .. That war is over they need move past it

By that logic Nelson Mandela should never have become president of South Africa.

Eamon Gilmore leader of the labour party was a member of the IRA. Cop on move on with the times.

Thugs that most people will not forget or forgive for untold and irreparable damage to our country, will be Bertie Ahern, Cowen and Brian Liarhan.

Did the UFF ever do as much damage to Ireland as FF have, did they ever destroy as many lives. Not even remotely.

The difference is that Brian Lenihan fought for his country, unlike IRA cowards who fought to destroy it

@Tony absolutely nothing wrong with hard work, something I would always encourage

Incidentally no peace commisioner gets paid, they do it for the public good, a concept alien to IRA terrorists and their apologists

lol. Stephen your a gas man, you have a brass neck and no shame. I note how you didn’t agree with standing on one’s own two feet, rather than begging at Dick’s feet for the potato skins from the cabinet table. I’m sure your a real hard worker and go getter. lol

@Tony see you are true IRA apologist in typical twisting words ploy. Supporting hard work and standing on ones own feet is the same thing

I made myself through hard work, honesty and a commitment to achieve. It was on merit. I never held my hand out with the begging bowl to any man, never could tolerate those who went down the Irish “freemasons” route, and the nod and the wink and the pint as business all to get the grubby hands on hardworking tax payers funds.

Stephen. If I give you a 50 euro note, will you vote SF, or would you need a hundred to change you life long “beliefs”. lol

I will never vote for those who support terrorist scum

I think you’ll find times have changed and the IRA are no more. SF are in the current dail and in the northern assembly. Are you denying thousands of Irish citizens their right to democracy? Or is it only for a few?

@ stephen re monies.

SF are the only party to have a flat wage capped at the avg national wage. All other monies earned through government posts are put back into the party. SF also have to report all monies to an independent IMF group that really proves none of what you spout is true. If only the rest of the Irish political parties had such audits there would be a lot less corruption in our state.

Again proves how little you actually know and understand about SF.

Id never help anyone who supports terrorist scum.

What is really distasteful is SF TD Ferris proudly collecting IRA scum who were convicted of mur… killing a Garda

equally distasteful to normal people are those who act as apologists to these low lives

Adams ends his speech with our day will come, every normal person hopes that to be true when we’ll see all terrorist murderers in jail

Stephen. If you were offered the job and it paid well I have no doubt that you would be the most adamant and hardline shinner that ever walked 24 hours after starting. Your a gas man, say that one about you charging Dick Roche 3250 to host his site is hilarious. A hundred euro per year would be considered cheeky by a lot of businesses, and to make it with Joomla, please tell me you didn’t pay for the template, if I went to a client with that colour scheme on a site, I would be asked to leave. Your a gas man Stevo, Sure tis only taxpayers money.

I fervently hope that SF would have nothing to do with fat, greedy, incompetents like SK, DR, BA, FFitzy & FFingers. FFilth.

@ Séan.. We’ll pay him to join FG or the Socialist Workers Party then, it is all the same to Stevo.

And LOVE/HATE knuckle tattoos to go with the ‘Eire 32′ masterpiece on the forearm. We all know and love ‘em; especially the chaps that usually surface at a culturally-deficient soirée hosted by the Wolfe Tones and where the management insists on plastic glasses. To paraphrase Jim Royle, Eire 32 my arse.

Absolutely agree Stephen. What’s worse and more worrying is their band of believers who buy that BS as genuine.

@toast very true, problem is most SF/IRA supporters resemble the Borg – drones incapable of independent thought and controlled by a central military council

stephen kearon ,i think you better look into who was behind 9 11 before you come out with that statement.put your brain into gear before your mouth,do your homework about 9 11 and the IRA.

Seeing as no one has ever been charged with that robbery I would presume none. I do admire your sly little remark though, throwing in a bit of unsupported innuendo with no evidence to back it up though. You must have been captain of your school debating team.

SF = IRA. Fact. A vote for SF is no different to supporting the IRA. The IRA is no different to any other terrorist, murderous, thuggish organisation anywhere in the world.

Brian Lenihan changed the law, against his own Dept. advice, against best practice and against external advice so as to facilitate the withdrawl of billions of Euro’s in accounts from Anglo. He refused to implement the necessary legislation, end result billions taken out and immediately sent out of the country. He didn’t care let the irish taxpayer pay it. Now that was one of the biggest robberies in world history but is only considered one of the smaller betrayals of his country in the greater scheme of things.

Lmao @ Daniel nothing else to add

@ toast et al; when will you realize the IRA no longer exist? They were decommissioned, the fight for a united Ireland continues on through dialect and the will if the people to move on towards a continued peace in our island and our neighbors.

Simple narrow minded people will always spout what was shoveled down their throats during 40 years of propaganda. Get with the times move on and respect our nations history.

I pity people like you.

Ciaran, the IRA are far from finished. They just go by a new name. Same people involved, same tactics. They are just as involved in criminality as they ever were.

Cormac present some facts on your claims please. Otherwise I can only conclude you are no better than mr toast and his cronies.

Christ Ciaran watch the news. A few bombs have gone off up north in the past few months, a psni officer was killed and when arrests were made, Marty mcguinness criticized the psni. The gardai have raided more than three bomb making facilities in the south with a number of republicans arrested. A couple of the last few murders in Dublin have been contributed to the IRA.
