Really? This could prove interesting. Maybe they're concerned that they've left themselves open to liability.

That's not the contentious comment. And Adams is the only person in the world who believes that he wasn't in the IRA.

Adams has always been an out and out politician. I believe he wasn't in the IRA but that's not to say as a republican leader he didn't have influence over them, I seriously doubt he was involved in any military matters but politically he influenced them a great deal towards the direction in which they headed. The more intelligent former IRA members have followed him into Sinn Fein like McGuinness, Doherty, Kelly, Ferris, Ellis etc whereas the others who couldn't grasp the political game like his accusers Hughes and Price plus the dissidents still can't emerge from the conflict.

Let's get this straight. Gerry is going to take a case against people implying he was in the IRA?

When we were kids, there was a rhyme and it went like this "Sticks and stones may break your bones but names will never hurt you". Get a life.

Really you keep believing

I would've thought Pearse Doherty was too young to have been in the PIRA. I thought he was one of the first band of pure politicians as opposed to ex paramilitay-now politician.

Sooner or later somebody in SF is going to have to sue them and put an end to this stupid line of questioning. Why hadn't they mics in the face of Mrs Winsdor when she was over, asking about the deaths her forces caused, or where are the case files they are holding on Dublin/Monaghan. Maybe Miriam could ask Enda who shot Michael Collins anytime he gets the courage up to be questioned.
Beyond farcical at this stage, if everyone who 'knows' stuff would just present the evidence then they might have something constructive to say or ask.

working on the XL player but not the normal player.

I am not sure of your meaning, you should talk to kids, and ask their views, you would be surprised, and it is not in working class areas,you have to meet them.
Can you imagine Council elections next year, extra pairs of knickers and jocks are going to be needed at the count for the big elite.

Have to laugh at the arrogant attitude here of some posters towards Gerry. Like you know fookin anything about what he's done in the past. Listening to other peoples drivel and spouting it off as your own. Have no time for the judgemental ways of a lot of people way south of the border. Had it nice and cushy down here didnt ye

Why go to the four goldmines, RTE are turning more people away from the establishment, who support them. Like the Romans they destroyed themselves from within. We have had five years of hardship while the elite stole our country, next election give the parasites their answer.

Didn't McDowell name Adams as being on the Military Council of the Ira, using Dail priviliges, along with McGuinness and Ferris a few years ago?

Very one sided argument slamming Miriam here which is usually an indication we are in the pleasure of Sinn Fein supporters.

Its not the first time Sinn Fein top blokes have been pushed hard on the subject of IRA Membership and Leadership nor will it be the last until they just be honest with the people and have some cop on. Sinn Fein need to move on from their past and not speak from two sides of their mouth on the issues surrounding the IRA. That and get more realistic policies and not suggest you will be implementing different policies down South than up North (implementing austerity which apparently doesn't work here but works fine up North).

Is it any wonder why people are favouring Fianna Fail over Sinn Fein? They have completely failed to make significant gains and Gerry is a major part of their problem and as long as he is representing them and not moving away from the past, a real shift wont happen for their party.

Smart never came into it, the southern clowns lay back and tolerated a sectarian war in the northern counties, and allowed the brits to carry out terror attacks in Dublin and Monaghan, and several other places. What did the sheeple of our so called republic do, cowered down and took it up the butt. When our overlords seen how cowardly some of us were they decided to ride us again, such is the situation we now find ourselves in. We are cowards, and denigrate those who stood up for their rights, and would not lay down for the ba$tards.
Get off your ass and stand up and be counted, Your kids will if you do not have the guts.

Neeson

How can people say he was in the IRA? Sure it's all hearsay. Just like Miriam was saying. Say it often enough and it becomes fact.

Seaneh

Jesus she made an absolute tit of herself.

I think given how bad her interview was and how much she just tried to corner him with questions he'd already answered, he did quite well, he was firm and positive in his answers and didn't let her bully him, in fact, he kind of just walked all over her.
