    OA, I thought you’d left? (…mumbles something inaudible about Frank Sinatra and come backs to himself…)

    Like waking up in the city that never sleeps..? ;-)

    Joe, you’ve got pretty irate at Paul recently does it mean he has no integrity? Doubtful. Does Turgon have integrity by reducing girls to tears but engaging civilly with you?

    Thats a very subjective pov on integrity.

    Nice thoughts Eamonn, and nice of the politicians to turn out for the funeral of someone who died in very tragic circumstances, but at the end of the day this thing is still about votes. If SF are preparing a paper on the benefits of being in power with the DUP then it looks like crisis over. They’ll get their base support if Robinson can’t or won’t move, I seriously doubt anyone is going to collapse this thing.

    He had a brilliant mind, I think he was one of the first to translate the liturgy into the vernacular. He had a good innings though, may he rest in peace.

    and present Iran with the opportunity to increase its influence in the region.

    Well what is to be done? A blockcade? Sanctions? Nothing will work due to one country – Russia. Russia will guarantee gas and all that is needed for Iranian nukes and what ever else they need, so they feel they can tell nations like Britain to shut its mouth, which they all but did. Also the allies can not afford to open up another front. So the only option? Throw money at them without too much scrutinity, watch Iran throw its weight about until Israel feels so threatened and the situation so unstable that anything could happen.

    If they are so good how come they misplaced 5 guys in the first place?

    Your guys did the deal, and look at what happened last evening in Afghanistan, some nice tailb sent a bunch of US citizens working for the CIA to the other side. You guys are in bed with the Brits, the US need them as much as they need you, so get over yourself and start singing from the same hymn sheet, divide and conquer and everybody goes down.

    I’d be answering a deflection – from my perspective, Only Asking ;)

    I’m still interested Nevin ;-) Can’t be accused of letting someone else of the hook can I?

    Enabled = Allowed him to go on working in youth projects decades after becoming aware that he was a paedophile.

    As has already been noted the then RUc and social services have questions to answer.
