Wonder why they don't arrest them, maybe there just isn't enough evidence, but hopefully something will happen. Are there still a lot of young Irish people still going over to America, or is it solely the dregs? Brady was making huge money over there.

Brady was up to his eyes in dissident activity but this particular crime was not sanctioned by the higher ups, it's as simple as that. If it was known to have been sanctioned then it would definitely be heard in the special. I'm surprised I'd wasn't heard in the special one way or another.

I mean, do the IRS give a **** about these guys or are somehow illegal workers paying taxes?
Scoundrel wrote: » That's frankly nonsense these dissident organisations are tiny they have nothing like the reach you think they have plenty engage in this behaviour with no need for anyone's permission the dissidents might tax the likes of Brady or try to but that's as far as it would go. If there was even a smell of dissident off him or his family and cronies it'd be all over the newspapers guards would have booted every republican door in the area the specials would be busy.

Good luck, you’re gonna need it.
