People should, in short, go to Gerry Adams who wqas never in the IRA and who never disappeared anyone, especially mothers of ten.

I read your link and cried for a young man in such a situation.

Suzanne Breen writes well, she knows which buttons to push and she succeeded with me. She would not do so with the politically blinkered, however much or well she writes…

A thoughtful comment Alan only slightly marred by the outspoken and possibly pointless jibe at those I hope had the decency to be notably absent.

I see Charlie Armstrong got buried fro the second time today. I suppose McGuinness, Murphy and Adams were too busy to attend, what with the wankathon protest in London, the fly fishing in Dinegal and the telly back in Belfast.

That’s the problem for many people in the north, they cannot take sides for where are they to go? and it’s possible, after so many years believing in the cause, seeing the lies for what they are now is too difficult. Do you think the murderers ignored her, or do you think they turned up offering condolences and anything they could do to help her situation?

I’m aware it’s in downtown SA:) I’m not knocking her – don’t get me wrong – I just don’t understand her – they murder her husband and she appears on TV with them…

Re Maskey – have you read some of this guys hate filled, bigoted diatribe? Others can waste time on him…

I completely agree, right up to the sentence about Alan Maskey, everyone is entitled to ‘see the light’.

I must add in defense of the lady, you forget where this happened and where the lady probably still lives…

Perhaps I’m wrong – whenever the IRA murder Brits it’s attributed to ‘the struggle’ and they are legitimate targets.

Whenever the IRA murder Catholics and dump the body somewhere – they have bloody disappeared!!

How that lady can even stomach the smell of Adams whenever the dogs in the street know his people did it…

Oh and it was because he wouldn’t give the volunteers his car right….An honest, decent, hard working RC fellow and the IRA murder him and dump the body – suppose it all contributes to the struggle in some way – duh

Why aren’t the SDLP helping/lobbying/engaging with these people, why give the Shinners who were responsible for it in the first place the airbrush time???

Maskey don’t bother to reply – I find your stench un-nerving even at a keyboard….

Gerry Adams is out of the trap saying there is no proof this was a PIRA job. How this guy sickens me. If the SAS did not do it, PIRA would have known. This small area with a smallish population was their turf.

Looks like Seamas Ruddy will be the last body (we can forget Nairac). Ruddy was a nice, polite guy. Just like Gino Gallagher, another fine man who “did the state some service”.

‘most of the IRA fatalities were killed by…the IRA.’

A deeply religious person should tell the truth! It was murder! and you know it.

And no Im not saying the Brits didnt murder people too, just that they usually did it to the enemy, the IRA were no so selective…

I have wondered about that myself and, after careful thought, Im leaning toward the idea that it may have been the first known case of mass Stockholm syndrome…

I hope any one who may have been involved in this and how ever ‘high’ (putrid in some cases) they have risen, they have the decency to STFU now.
