You “don’t know” if Gerry Adams was in the IRA, despite the testimony of former comrades and all the indications that he was. Yet are completely, unalterably convinced that the IRA campaign of violence “worked out well for the republican side”. No doubt, no circumspection, no entertainment of counter argument. That is clear bias on your behalf Frankie. Your “big picture” view is through the prism of your own prejudices.

The fact that he began high court proceedings in 2019 to see where the 3m that was seized from his house went (and as per court papers not him wanting it back) is not him contesting it.

Today, Cunningham pleaded guilty to money laundering £100,040 stg on January 15th 2005 by transferring it to John Douglas in Tullamore, Co Offaly. He also pleaded guilty to money laundering £175,360 on February 7th 2005 by transferring it to John Sheehan in Ballincollig, Co Cork and receiving three cheques totalling €200,000.

maccored wrote: » so anyone done for money laundering is automatically linked to the robbery? How do you work that out. as I say, no-one in SF or the IRA has ever been put away or charged with the robbery. yet there was 50 gs in an RUC leisure centre directly linked to the robbery. Explain that one for me (and leave out the hilarious 'the ira snuck in and put it there' routine)

JohnnyFlash wrote: » Not even SF supporters think it wasn’t the IRA who were behind the bank robbery, and that Bobby Storey was actively involved in its planning. They know deep down it was, and that’s why the denials always seem so half-hearted and hollow.
maccored wrote: » not peaved at all - just wondering why the strange blindness people have. its apparently grand to blame sf and the IRA for something theres no proof they had anything to do with, yet on the otherhand still apparently believing in justice and democracy with the right to being innocent until proven guilty. Personally i think thats a bit ****ed up because you cant say the former and believe in the latter.
