The Sunday Business Post, interestingly, carries a report, by Pat Leahy and Paul T Colgan, who quote their sources’ views on SF’s current standing with the Irish Government. According to a “senior [Irish] government source” – “It’s one of two things: either they [Sinn Féin] don’t know what’s going on and therefore they can’t deliver the IRA; or they do and they’re treating us with contempt”, but, when pressed, the same source is reported as saying that the Irish government believe that, despite SF’s denials, the “Sinn Féin leadership, including Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness, did know and approved of the robbery.”
