    it shows nothing of the sort. this is nothing to do with sinn fein. sinn fein are still a very credible party and are the only ones who can now be trusted to run the country.

    Sinn Fein can't run a bath.

    They certainly don't want to run the country.

    They're perfectly aware they can't run a country.

    They're perfectly aware they can't be trusted to run a country.

    They're giggling away at anyone that thinks they can run a country.

    They're very comfortable where they are. Bitching and sniping from the sidelines.

    And that is where they will stay.

    Don't know the it's and our's but caught snippets on the news in the car on the way home from work.
    What made me think were the quotes from the judge re the demeaning nature ....intimidation....holding someone against their will....using a weapon. .threatening them....I was left thinking they could be describing any rape and yet look at how tlmany rapists get away with lenient sentences.
    I sincerely hope the next time a rape victim is giving an impact statement before sentencing they can refer to this judges summary and the same sentence be imposed on them

    Yeah. And Sinn Feins history on that with Mairia Cahill and others isn't good either.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Did not read the last 5 pages.

    This chap is a scumbag and gets 12 years, there are scumbags with 100+ convictions not getting jail time, WTF is wrong with this country?

    I reckon we should label all scumbags with 100+ convictions as shinners...

    boom crime problem and reoffending problem solved.....
    This may have been mentioned already, but iirc, 12 years is what Larry Murphy received.
    The video must have been pretty awful.

    they can run a country. they will run this country north and south. they are trusted, will be trusted, can be trusted. it's only a matter of time. it's going to happen.

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

    Why is murder and rape in my best interest? Why is scaring me in my best interest?

    Youd do well to tell that to college students up and down the country?

    that wasn't sinn fein. that was the ira. the actions of the ira had nothing to do with sinn fein.

    Fifteen of Sinn Féin's 35 MPs, TDs, MEPs, and Assembly members have a history of IRA involvement or have convictions.
    Martin McGuinness – Sinn Féin's chief negotiator was twice convicted of IRA membership in the Republic. In 1973, he was arrested in Donegal close to a car filled with 250lbs of explosives and 5,000 rounds of ammunition. He was sentenced to six months. He told the Dublin court: "I am a member of the Derry brigade of Oglaigh na hÉireann and am very, very proud of it."

    Notice he was convicted HERE in the republic. Not in the North.
    Martin Ferris – Twice convicted of IRA membership,
    Barry McElduff – A Queen's University graduate, he was given an 18-month suspended sentence in 1992 for helping in the false imprisonment of a Protestant whom the IRA suspected of being an informer. The victim was interrogated by three masked IRA men in Sinn Féin's Dungannon offices. The court heard that McElduff had saved the victim from execution.

    It's not worth my life.

    I am not 'Irish enough' and they will gas me when the revolution comes. And then the far right will take a pee on my grave. Happy days. :pac:

    that won't happen as the far right will not be allowed to get a grip in this country. there are plenty of people who will insure it.

    can't be done. it would be against democracy to charge him with something that it would be impossible for him to be guilty of. sinn fein are a legitimate political party and the ira were gone before he would have been old enough to be trusted to have anything to do with it. anyone who would vote for sinn fein will be making a good choice.

    oh I'm sorry but I must be mistaken like the rest of the nation he said he was part of the IRA in fact didn't he admit he was with the head of the Ira or at the very least as an innocent man might interpret representing them and the provisional movement?? given his links with mary lou it seems he was speaking the truth!
    Once a shinbot always a shinbot 12 years is 12 years too short we tried to get rid of your type in 1994 seems the normal decent people missed a few anti peace process wanna keep the ballad session going type guys who post the shiner propaganda in my letterbox to walk off a hangover type guys away

    I love that saying the actions of the ira have nothing to do with sin fein 1982 is a long time passed wake up and stop trying to play the sensible people of the nation your trying to drag into a war we don't want any part of it and hope you disappear like the innocent victims the ira butchered.

    that wasn't sinn fein. that was the ira. the actions of the ira had nothing to do with sinn fein.

    I'm trying to figure out, are you trying to separate the IRA from SF and the child rape angle, or separate SF from the IRA and the child killing angle?

    It deosnt reference any present sinn fein members??


    Tbf this lad deserves 20 years for the stupididy of recording it

    Ach, mud sticks, sure some people still bang on about FF and Bertie Ahern whereas, as you would argue, he's not a current member...

    These threads are hilarious - watching the usual handful of SF posters contort themselves.

    This is pretty much what irish politic amounts to....mud slinging matches and an example of why nothing ever gets done/changes here

    We can all agree that it's good to see we are now merely murdering the English language...

    We should be proud to see the Irish justice system at its finest.

    Yes we should but unfortunately it fails us all too often. This sentence is severe compared to far worse crimes that have been committed. Where is the consistency.

    I think if he was a member of another party it wouldn't be as severe. Sure what happened to a certain ex FG TD for glassing someone?

    A conviction and a €750 fine. http://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2017/0208/851000-sean-conlan/

    Its a political sentencing and it leaves a sour taste to be honest. Before anyone accuses me of being a Shinner I most certainly detest the party.

    Ah, the "hardest taught peepil to do to the shoelace tie taught" was a "discussion point"? Really?

    Expand on it so.

    Expand on it so.

    Basically large portions of the irish electorate are like trump supporters


    Mud slinging and lowest bass debating skills are what appeals to them....

    this can be the only logical conlusion on the farce that is debate in the dail??

    Ah here. That is seriously seriously deluded. In fact its worse than deluded.
