   Maybe she will advance the Gaelic language by having all the official documents translated from English into Gaelic.

2. Comment on For what purpose will the special Belfast City Council meeting go ahead on Monday evening?

   I think it’s time to move on.
   He hasn’t apologised for what he did.
   He has apologised for the consequences that people may have experienced as a result of what he has done.
   That’s a different thing.
   Just so long as people aren’t under the impression that he has accepted what he did was wrong, because he hasn’t.

3. Comment on Loughgall terrorists could not have been arrested

   For goodness sake!
   Have people no sense of humour?
   Do people not realise Barry McElduff is doing a Jeremy Clarkson?
   He’s winding people up by talking a lot of sensationalist nonsense to promote a Christmas DVD or book.
   I suppose humour is a personal thing, but I don’t think it’s funny, (well maybe funny peculiar!).
   Anyhow, well done Barry for your self promotion, but you didn’t fool me!
   I’ll listen out for you on the Nolan show next week!

4. Comment on Hostage taking in NI prisons
   on 29 November 2011 at 2:02 am

   When Edwin Poots raised the matter of Pat Finucaine, he did so in reference to Sean O’Callaghan’s allegations, that Mr Finucaine attended a high level IRA meeting in Donegal.
   Not that, as a barrister, he represented republicans.

5. Comment on Sammy Wilson’s #dupconf routine – complete with doubtful gags about SF’s Long Creche
   on 29 November 2011 at 1:46 am

   This retrospective melarkey about whether the IRA prisoners were criminals or POWs is a bit of revisionism gone wierd.

   Here’s a bit of convoluted logic from Martin McGuinness In an interview during his Presidential campaign,

   “In an interview with the Independent, he said the IRA

   “was involved in incidents which resulted in the accidental killing of innocent people”.

   Mr McGuinness added “the term used by the relatives of those people who were killed was that they were murdered”.

   He said he wouldn’t disagree with that – a significant shift for Sinn Fein.”

   Now, forgive me if I’m wrong, but ,in law, if someone is killed accidentally, it’s not murder and if someone is killed deliberately, it’s murder.

   Martin has got it the wrong way round.
   McGuinness needs to get his “Idiot’s guide to the Law” out.
   Anyhow to sum it up, it’s not up to the prisoners to decide if they are criminals or not ,it’s up to the courts.

   So there you have it, they were!

6. Comment on Poppy burning- haters charged; bonfire-burning haters to follow?

   I’d just remind you the Orange order parade at the shops at Ardoyne is a legal parade.
   So all that waffle you indulge re: the parades commission, residents, etc in is irrelevant.

   If you followed your original line of arguement then the need to consult anyone infringes the basic right of free expression.

   Anyhow at least we have established that your principles change according to which people they refer to.

   See you at Ardoyne shops next Twelfth, maybe even on the bus from Ballymena on the way down!

   MonkDeWallyDeHonk,
   So we can look forward to you supporting the Orangemen as they exercise their freedom of expression as they walk past the Ardoyne shops next Twelfth of July.
   Looks like we’re making progress!

   Deliberately insulting people on the basis of race or religion is, and should be an offence.
   It is an incitement to hatred that society can do without.
   Think of the treatment of Jews in 1930s Germany.
   I wonder if the people complaining about freedom of speech would be so vocal if it was the BNP burning an image of Mohammed?

10. Comment on #Aras11 Round up: The “And Then There Were Two” Edition
    on 18 October 2011 at 1:15 am

    Mary Anna, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
    What other country in the world would a self confessed and unapologetic terrorist even think of standing for President.
    I think it demonstrates the success of the propaganda war that the Republican movement have engaged in over the years.
    Goebbels wouldn’t have had a look in.
    Fortunately most of the people in the Republic have been too busy dealing with their domesic difficulties to be preoccupied with the Sinn Fein’s rewriting of history.
    Martin McGuinness should give us the dates when he joined the IRA and when he left.
    A look at the fatality figures would tell just how much the IRA was responding to, or creating “the conflict he was involved in” as he now tries to rationalise it.
    It’s maybe his way of trying to personally come to terms with the crimes he and his cohorts have inflicted on innocent people.
    I suppose as you get older and start recognising your own mortality you maybe begin to start sorting things out with your Maker, (if you are religious, as David Latimer seems to think McGuinness is).
    He’d be better getting down on his knees, confessing his guilt, and asking for forgiveness.
