1. Comment on O’Snodaigh​’s Prints Dont Stack Up
   on 3 March 2012 at 8:47 pm

   I can’t help but wonder if invoices for the toner cartridges were written in the same hand as those for the expenses for sinn fein’s M.P’s. I’m sure whoever wrote those hand written receipts for all those expensive televisions could do with some work now that Westminster has cracked down on expenses. P.S. Congratulations to Mick on his promotion to Admiral, didn’t even realise he was a Navy man.

3. Comment on Why did Toby Harnden refuse to attend the Smithwick Tribunal?
   on 16 February 2012 at 10:47 am

   Brian asked in the leader to this article why Toby didn’t attend the tribunal and I think Toby has answered that, he is working covering the republican primaries. The tribunal is being held by the government of a foreign country which in the past is thought to have armed and financed PIRA so I think he’s entitled to treat it in whatever way he fancies.

4. Comment on Why did Toby Harnden refuse to attend the Smithwick Tribunal?
   on 16 February 2012 at 10:32 am

   Toby Harnden released a statement on 7th February which answers Brians question.

   “My book ‘Bandit Country’ speaks for itself and I stand behind everything in it. I now live in the United States and am covering the Republican primaries, three of which are being held today. The decision not to appear before the Smithwick Tribunal is mine and mine alone. I note that the Tribunal has heard evidence from former members of the RUC and Garda Siochana and has also been supplied with intelligence information. This evidence and information adds to and significantly backs up what I wrote more than 12 years ago when ‘Bandit Country’ brought the issue of collusion between individual Garda officers and the Provisional IRA to public attention.”

   Unbelievable! Is there any other country in the world where actions like these would not lead to ministerial resignations?

7. Comment on European law states investigations into state killings must be fully independent
   on 3 December 2011 at 6:10 pm

   Eight heavily armed criminals plant a bomb in a police station, then attempt to murder anyone who might have survived the bomb. The criminals are then killed in the ensuing gunfight with the forces of law and order. Is there really any need for an investigation? The only sad thing in this whole matter is the death of an entirely innocent man, Mr Anthony Hughes. His family have my condolences and I do believe they should have and could have been treated much better than they were at the time. The eight criminals? I can honestly say that my only regret is that they numbered only eight.

   on 27 July 2011 at 8:14 pm

   andnowwhat,here’s a simpler question; Where certain people more concerned about protecting the image of Gerry Adams/SF than they were about protecting the actual victim of abuse?

10. Comment on NILT: Does it tell us anything beyond it may still have sampling issues?
    on 19 June 2011 at 12:27 pm

    “1200 is just too small a sample to be anywhere near representative of NI.”

    It’s the equivalent of polling almost 50,000 people in a UK wide survey!
