    You surely understand her issue with Sinn Fein and its. leadership though. What she was subjected to was horrific and inexcusable.

    Her issues with SF should not be fodder for newspapers. None of what she said was ever backed up with evidence. 5 people were prepared to go into a court and defend themselves and never got the chance.
    There are letters showing that members of SF offered her help and advice like they claimed they did.
    I am not saying who is right or wrong but 5 people are deserving of their good names and rights until proven otherwise. They have been tried in the media and with no evidence whatsoever you have obviously made your mind up.
    Why has she never taken a civil case against these people?

    Why use a death to draw attention to herself?

    Obviously the Indo won't run this on the cover, but they should.

    No. It was manufactured for political purposes. I'm not saying it's completely false but She didn't press charges against people, and when asked about civil action, she quickly faded away with the help of Joan Burton and Alan Kelly.

    As I said, if she had credibility, FF, LAB, FG would have spouting this nonsense over and over. Its gone, it was used for the election and nothing else, she knows it too that the elected representatives double crossed her.

    Promised the world, sucked up and spat out. That's Leinster house.

    Ah it's an awful pity that priest is there between Gerry and Enda. You could imagine Gerry trying to get a rise out of him, nipping the back of his legs and whatnot.

    Yeah, she went on to despise them (SF) and the peace process they partook in so much, she signed up to a dissident Republican organisation.


    As you do.

    Indeed. It is a good job Enda and Michael were not tasked with pursuing justice for the victims of Bloody Sunday.
    They forgot about Maria's case almost before the photographers put away their cameras.
    Always curious why that was. If they believed her they'd never have let SF forget it.

    Maybe future leader in the south? I'd prefer pierce. But it's symbolic to have her behind the new NI SF leader.

    Tws a load of anecdoteal porkies that had no Solid evidence. Hence why she got the cold shoulder fairy quickly. The lads talk in the Dail bar amongst them selves. Political suicide to back up this woman. Get rid..

    I have no idea if what she said was true or not.
    IMO she shouldn't have gone to the media without trying to get her case into a court.
    The people accused were prepared to defend themselves and didn't run. They got tried in the media and judging from comments on here Maria Cahill won the case.

    The behaviour of the political class with this was wrong though and beyond despicable.

    indeed. but don't worry, the vermin who will insult us on those gutter rags will have the laugh on the other side of their faces soon. ireland is modernising. britain is retrenching, and the people who wanted it because they will "get their country back" from nobody, will end up with nothing, and they deserve it. the people who voted against the madness i feel sorry for, and they won't be the ones insulting the irish because they are a modern people.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    Is it not a great thing that there is no need for foreign soldiers to be driving around on our streets?
    Remember, they came to us, not the other way around.
