I haven't seen or heard anything from Mary Lou, Slab Murphy and other good Republicans in ages.

I do think the funeral of Storey was a stark reminder of this. The sinister guard of honour made up of primarily of fat and tough looking men; the closing down of the cemetery to accommodate them; O’Neill getting a selfie with some of the back room team etc.

Not a normal party. That’s why their populism is so sinister.

So, in essence you agree that the murder of a 3-year-old toddler and 12-year-old boy did nothing to defend Nationalists in the North.

You'll no doubt twist this to suit what ever high moral ground you want to point from but in 'essence' here is what I believe. If you can understand the nuance and medium to difficult concept of understanding history and why things happen while still believing it shouldn't have happened and that none of it was 'justified'.

The IRA campaign, particularly in Britain towards the end of the conflict/war did bring pressure to bear on the British. The British had realised that the only solution to a conflict/war that was hurting them was to talk. The history shows their reaction when bombs went off in Britain. Canary Wharf, Manchester even Brighton all had their effects.

It's ok Mark, it is ok to be filled with revulsion and still accept that these actions had cause and effect.

In 'essence' and in the context of above, I do believe that Warrington (which was not intended to kill two young boys) was a part of that 'campaign' to bring Britain to the table in search of a deal/solution.

Now all you need to do is ask yourself or Nationalists if they feel the GFA protects their rights, identity and aspirations.

I think people have made up their mind one way or another on the North, it's their completely ridiculous economic proposals (such as spending Apple's cash) which could swing people either way.

No reply to the fact, if someone disagrees with your opinion, you talk to them like a piece of ****e?

I said you were lying and you were
The whole of leo Vradakar's sentence is quoted above
He did not say in that quote that pubs would open
You said he did
He said that he hoped they would but it would be subject to Nphets latest advice and a cabinet decision

You were lying

“I do hope it’s possible for them to reopen, I know there has been an update in new covid cases in the last week or two, but it’s still in the teens or twenty a day, we did think that there would be a slight increase in cases as we eased restrictions and I don’t think that the increase is so enormous that at this stage would prevent us moving to stage four but that isn’t the decision for me on my own, we need the advice from NPHET and the cabinet needs to decide”.

Leo Vradakar 's words were in relation to pubs:

"I do hope it will be possible for them to reopen,"

And in relation to the rest of stage 4,like stage 3,this depended on Nphet' s final advice, which is also what he said

Leo said the increase in cases Monday and Tuesday not so enormous to prevent us going to phase 4.

Now don't be lying making up quotes.

Does it matter to you what grade I got in English? Or are you just gonna talk down to someone because you don't agree with their opinions. Your parents be so proud to bring up someone like you if that's the way you act.

Eamonn Ryan less than 8 hours after voting against Cowen asw Qs in the Dáil says he has serious Qs to answer.

Then you come on here and it's IRA this, IRA that and many of the posters defending everything FFG have went quiet on other threads

Not much to defend as yet really.
FF are a shambles agreed, but govt business is going ahead.
A successful day in court yesterday that thankfully (because SF didn't get their hands on it) hasn't us in billions in debt to apple.
The usual SF rantings going on from where they're best served and best pleased to be, loud mouthed opposition benches.

That was an unequivocal defence and justification of the Warrington bombing, and I have given you every opportunity to disavow that earlier statement and correct it and grow from it.

However, the simple fact is, is that you cannot even admit the obvious, that the murder of 3-year-old Johnathan Ball and 12-year-old Tim Parry did absolutely nothing to defend nationalists in the North.

The fact you cannot type those words, but happy to go off on a 'what about' tangent or give a glib 'it was all wrong but' response says it all.

You just cannot get past it can you Mark?

If you accept that, you never have to engage in vulgar, disrespectful victim exploitation again.

I want to you to answer the question, on how the murder of two boys in Warrington help defend Nationalists in the north.

If you just say, it did nothing to defend Nationalists in the north, it would be a good first step of growth for you. Do you agree with me on this statement?

Why Mark?

Why are you still using selective and emotive victims to win an argument that is over. Over 3000 people died from all sides, of all ages.

It's not something I am going to engage in, it nauseates me to do that with any individual victims.

I don't need to 'grow', I have a fully acceptable (to me) view of why the conflict/war happened, what caused it and could cause it again.
I understand why it happened, who and what was primarily responsible for it and I understand that everyone has some responsibility for it happening and for it happening again.

Have you achieved that level of 'growth' as you parade another set of victims for likes and emotive responses? I don't think you have.
