An option open only to the families of IRA members apparently.

Let's not be jumping ship just yet. Blanch concluded the funeral was fake based on the geographical location of the funeral and were the body may be cremated. The family had the funeral were they wanted.
I can't speak to the other effort at flogging this horse but I can see a funeral expecting a massive turn out might cause scheduling issues. Also We'll see who made the call. The Council, the funeral company or the bearded men up in the hills :rolleyes:

Why was Bobby so deserving of such a large gathering funeral.....haven't read much good on the man.

Try be honest. If you want to criticise the man feel free. Don't pretend to be looking for insight. You already have a makey-up doe eyed 'RA thread on the go

Who said he was deserving? Just the usual Shinner propaganda circus and plenty of dole merchants around with nothing else to do. Also gives a two finger salute across to the Shankill who wont be having any Twelfth marches

Hold on a second here. The PSNI, and indeed any Law Enforcement are not the Law. We have a separation of powers and the police are not Legislators.

Spoonfeeding eh? You have shown me nothing, no law, no evidence of same. Enough of the princess talk. If there was a law breach, you would show me one. You cant. Just admit that you cant.

And are you telling me, that there are calls for Sinn Fein High Ranking officials to resign over the same issue as someone having a house party or BBQ. Well that is amazing.

Where did I ask for anyone to resign. I'm barely in this thread. It's your comment I noticed.

Simple question what "laws" were broken for the PSNI to hand out 100s of fines for breach of regulations in relation to gatherings across NI during the covid19 outbreak? Whatever "laws" they deemed broken during these gatherings is it not possible they deem them broken at this funeral? I don't care about the context of the event as that's not how rules work. You break them you break them. Whether it be a house party piss up of 50 young lads or a funeral of 100s.

Apparently he was one of the few leading republicans who didn’t turn out to be in the pay of the British security forces. Such a unique occurrence it warrants a celebration with all the macabre bells and whistles the republican movement can muster.

It's a, bit unusual to bring a coffin to a cemetery and then to a crematorium I would have thought, kinda like, the cart before the horse is it not.
But that's no surprise with SF involved is it.

bit unusual? Nope. At least google before the oul waffling.

Im sure if they went to the cemetary first (i havent been glued to the news about that particular funeral, unlike some of the closet Shinner fans on this thread), but I asume a trip to the cemetery first was for some form of oratory

The same bunch will stand up and defend the British if it is an Irish person criticising them.
The auld hat doffing/inferiority complex has a bit to go yet before it dies out completely.

Only the most slavish republican sycophant would deny that the republican movement was riddled with informers. Even their head of counter intelligence was a British agent ffs.

So you were just waffling about in your previous reply to me.
You didn't even know, they went to the cemetery with the coffin, carried it shoulder high to the grave with the provo army council carrying it and did their graveside oration for the masses, gathered during a pandemic, and then snook the coffin off to a crematorium afterwards.
Where have you been and why are you advising me to Google?

Will you stop lying...nobody 'snook' anywhere.

Just funning Francie, he told me to Google and then didn't know what he was talking about himself, jesus, did you read the link he put up.
And the did snook, most thought the funeral was over at the grave.

Imagine:
'Was Horkan cremated or buried. If he was cremated I assume it was beside were the funeral was held otherwise it was likely staged and fake? Did it inconvenience any other funerals or cremations? Scum attend his funeral? I would hazard the typical pot bellied red necked Garda? Was Flano there for a photo op? They'd some neck assuming the public wanted this. They should apologise to the public. Thinking their funeral was more important. What was he doing producing a gun? I'd say we'll hear some interesting stuff come out'

Sounds petty and tacky right?

In fairness lads, wtf are yiz on about.
Are yiz all on the sauce tonight.
Maybe it's normal in SF circles to Bury the dead before they cremate them, but it's not normal practice in my neck of the woods.

No, it looks like a drunken ramble in honesty.

The Belfast telegraph broke the story of the cremation of Storey the day after the funeral, it wasn't known about on the day of the funeral, I linked it the next day and the story about the crematorium and the controversy with staff sent home and all the hoo ha that nobody knew about on the day of the funeral.
It's there in my posts, look it up.

Using some of the bile and arsery posted here on a different funeral in the same circumstances is all.
Milikng it for all it's worth and more. Story is losing steam boys. But for a few die hard desperadoes in blue hats or Orange sashes....

I have never supported the IRA, I understand why they existed and the circumstances that will bring them back.
I also criticised the lapses at the funeral from the get go.

Have you done that with FG? I have seen you criticise the Greens who you say you vote for. Not FG though, you support them against all comers and I am not the only poster who has said that.

You're confusing calling out FG supporter hypocrisy with supporting SF or the IRA.
Talk the same pro FG spin and distraction about PBP or the SD's you'll get the same response.

A funeral is a 'staged' event Mark.

You can have everything from a State one to a simple one. A horse drawn carraige to a tractor to carry you off.

And it is only 'fake' if you don't know and assume something is happening that is not.

I would wager a bet that all there knew what was happening.

"Staged: contrived for a desired impression "

Funerals normally don't traipse the remains all over town and head to the graveyard for a jolly, and then when its over, sneak off to the crematorium.

It's all a bit odd.

As staged as every other funeral. This is getting funny though.
Have you ever heard of a funeral director?
What's next the tears didnt have your standard amount of salt?
I'll tell you what's odd you and others obsession and inability to see your hypocrisy. Seriously lads pitiful stuff. I've officially lost interest but I might chime in to laugh and point.

Is it normal that funerals go to a graveyard, even though the body is not to be buried there?
