Drew Harris appointed Garda commissioner.

I don't see how this is going to work. This guy is possibly hostile to Irish culture.

I'd say they welcome it. No point anymore doing otherwise really, they are trying to attract the "middle class vote" in ROI. This is the way to do it. All inclusive, we are wonderful.

About as much to do with the thread as your own droning whines that you seem to think are coherent, RUC this British security forces that :rolleyes:

Let the man do his job and let's see what happens and stop seeing black and tans under your bed.

If it was a former IRA member appointed as Garda commissioner would you say the same?

And has been pointed out to you MANY Sinn fein members are also part of an organisation that have the same/worse decor. Where is your thread on them?

I mean one day they might get into power (snigger) and one of them may become minister for justice (snigger, snigger) so surely that are just as dangerous to the country right?

At least you're finally admitting that the IRA were terrorists

The new Garda commissioner wasn't in the IRA! If he was then you'd raise a valid point but no, he was in the RUC who have a disgusting record of murder and violence.

As I mentioned repeatedly on here my uncle set up the civil rights movement in NI and became a member of the SDLP. He was involved in RUC reform and says Drew has the same view of the RUC as many here. That is terrorist colluding sociopaths. It's worth noting that Drew said this of the police force:

One of the region’s most senior officers, Deputy Chief Constable Drew Harris, said he was optimistic that if political and civic society worked with the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), representation levels of Catholics at recruitment could reach 50 per cent within five years.

In other words he made a big effort to remove the bigotry of the force.

Well in fairness he's not wrong. It's nothing to do with Sinn Fein. It's the fact that the RUC were engaged in multiple counts of terrorist collusion as established by multiple investigations. David Cameron issued an apology over RUC terrorist collusion so by your logic he must be an udercover IRA man too.

badtoro

Formerly of the RUC and has close links to British Intelligence. Nope, I'm not comfortable nor happy with that.

Glad it's not an internal appointment. There's some serious issues of corruption in the Gardai and someone external is needed to sort it out.

Do you have to be a shinner to be against the murder of innocent Irish people????

Martin McGuinness was deputy first minister and a presidential candidate and most certainly was involved in murders

Adams sat in the dail and ditto as well as many many more

Who said different? This is a thread on the new Garda commissioner, what has that got to with Sinn Féin?

Are you okay with the new Garda commissioner having been a member of and had links to groups who murdered innocents?
