How Enda Kenny and Joan felt fit to grandstand in the Dail about the provos campaign while they endorsed a dissident republican getting para dropped into the Seanad was laughable tbh. Mairia, like Paul Quinn's family have been duly discarded since their usefulness became worn out.

Whether it is John Brady, taking a council house that could go to someone who needs it, Cullinane with his sickening post-election celebration, Dessie Ellis and his convictions, and a whole heap of others including the new breed of Violet-Anne Wynne and Reada Cronin.
Redgirl82 wrote: » You're not really a nice person are you?https://www.thejournal.ie/maria-cahill-ssdp-local-elections-safety-4578710-Apr2019/ Maria Cahill had to drop out of the elections because of fears for her life and her children life as she would be required to release her home address. This is because the IRA are still after her, yet we hear Sinn Fein telling us that the IRA no longer exist. Lovely party you support.

blanch152 wrote: » How many times does it have to be demonstrated and explained to you that Mairia Cahill is not a dissident republican before you stop with the slurs? It is disgusting the way you drag her name through the mud every single time. A young girl, traumatised and abused by Sinn Fein and the IRA, treated despicably by Gerry Adams, flirted with dissident republicanism for a couple of months, yet you seem to maintain that her dissident republican time is the essence of what she is. She is the continual target of hate from Sinn Fein representatives, supporters, and voters on social media, I would hope that those on here would refrain from dragging themselves down to that level, but that hope seems forlorn. P.S. All of what you said about Mairia Cahill is untrue.

It's not that long ago somebody was posting pictures of Mary Lou's house here, how do you think they found out where she lives. Adams home was widely known and it was actually attacked. Try and look beyond the statement. Why would running in elections make her anymore of a target than making her claims would have, if the IRA were indeed targeting her? It doesn't stack up in common sense terms.

FrancieBrady wrote: » Ask yourself...is it even remotely credible that if the IRA wanted to attack Mairia Cahill in her home that they would need the electoral register to find out where she lived? Seriously? BTW, once again I have to point this out, it is 'alleged' that she was raped. There was a man prepared to go into court to defend himself. The IMC said (and still waiting for blanch to back up his claim that they changed their findings) that the IRA as an organisation had nothing to do with Paul Quinn's murder. It had, they said, 'connections to local criminal activity'. Adams and SF have admitted the mistakes made in the handling of Liam Adams. There is hardly an organisation on the island that hasn't had issues handling these things.

If anything it's a useful indicator of the true levels of respect people have for them, their values, their shallow, fickle policies and their cynical empty promises.
Redgirl82 wrote: » What's not true is your comment about Maria getting discarded. She wasn't. It was only when she had to release her address she dropped out of local elections. This was because of IRA, which is still protected to this day by Sinn Fein. Also your comments about Paul Quinn. Disgusting But continue on with your lies. Maybe some fool will believe them, sure you did when you decided to support Sinn Fein. Maybe you think it is ok to throw out disgusting comments, that's the problem on internet. But I certainly don't. If I met you face to face you wouldn't say a word. Little coward behind a keyboard. That's a true reflection of what Sinn Fein are about, a group of cowards sitting behind a group of murdering criminal.
