    Banjo, now that you accept what the Indo has to say, I presume you also accept that whatever they say about Gerry and Padraig Wilson and the rest is also true.

    Glad that you have seen the light.

    Right........

    So because I accept what the Indo has to say, about an incident in today's Dail, that can be backed up by video evidence, widely available to anyone....

    Means I must also accept any other story in the paper that doesn't have any evidence, be it video, pictorial or otherwise, but coming from 'a source close to' or 'unconfirmed reports' or sometimes with no reference whatsoever as to where the stories/accusations, and in some cases blatant lies come from......

    Did you even think about that before you posted it :confused:

    No, I think they served to much time!! They should have been let out in the good Fri agreement with all the others.

    They were convicted of manslaughter by the courts of this country. (due process)
    They served over 75% of their sentences behind bars.
    So, if we believe in the rule of law, due process and all that, then my answer is yes.

    Well I don't think they should get a celebration on release it's an insult to the widow Anne Ferris. I would understand the sentencing if IRA had admitted to the offence up front

    Apparently it is not backed up by the Dail record, which is the official account.

    Sounds just like the situation where we have a video of Gerry Adams lying through his teeth but he hasn't been convicted in a court.

    I accept the evidence that Eric Byrne made a very stupid remark, despite the fact that it hasn't been officially recordeded. Do you accept the evidence that Gerry Adams is either a liar or a perjurer even though it hasn't been proved in court?

    Did you think of that before you posted?

    They should never have been let out. Killing a member of AGS should mean life without parole.

    My understanding is that the official transcripts from the Dail usually do not include every jeer, heckle, cough and fart made in the Dail, and I'm surprised at you if you thought it would.

    Any predictions for the next opinion poll?

    Which is it then? If it was IRA sanctioned then they have to be let out, if not then they stay in jail.
    Let me guess, you want to blame the IRA but still keep them in jail, right?

    I look forward to future Mary Lou sit ins every time a politician fails to answer a question fully.

    She'll be worn out just from her own party leader.



    Listening to Matt Cooper on the way home this evening, they mentioned that her party colleagues were able to bring her in a few snacks to keep her going during her 4hr ordeal today

    .


    And not every murderer, psychopath, rapist and child abuser gets convicted, but that doesn't mean they were innocent. I'm surprised at you if you thought otherwise.

    Just like O.J., we can know who is guilty of what without a court conviction, and we can know who said what, without a Dail record.

    Plenty of others have analysed the TV programme and court transcript and come to the same conclusion. You can review the evidence yourself if you think differently.

    It doesn't matter whether they denied it, they were convicted as IRA members and therefore subject to he GFA.
    SF didn't have to do anything.

    Well, it just demonstrates once again that SF/IRA are pathological liars so we don't have to believe anything they say.

    Would you put the FG/LP in the same boat with their election promises.
