That community in the north isn't going to change it's attitude toward the British government over this. You only use it to admonish Mary Lou and SF generally but if you take a good look, the public mood is not on your party's side here. SF and those ordinary ppl at the funeral aren't part of the Golden Circle like golfgate. The context is very different. Let's run another GE and see where the chips fall.

Directing gullible eejits and deranged sociopaths to carry out unspeakable acts on his behalf while "not being in the IRA". The big winner in the peace process though, so obviously well worth it You could ask Eamonn Collins how Adams breezed in and out of the room when his life hung in the balance - only you cant because they decided to murder him later anyway (after the GFA Francie always runs to). Luckily it's in his book which Francie will be familiar with having read everything

JohnnyFlash wrote: » Nah, not really. Leo is a sound skin. But of a shy geek sort if you were to label him as anything. Even Mary Lou likes him. She probably prefers him on a personal level to Adams. Adams was deeply unpopular amongst even SF TDS and their parliamentary assistants during the last and previous Dáil, apart from his mates Ellis, Ferris, etc. AsI said, there’s something deeply and fundamentally ‘off’ about him. Being in his company gives people the shivers.

My encounter with Adams was of a completely different nature, not something I want to repeat, felt my skin crawl for weeks.

PS - would that be the same Collins who as a member of the PIRA was responsible for at least five deaths (that they know of)? A bit hypocritical of you to say the least!
Truthvader wrote: » Yep, that's the same man. A man who carried out dreadful crimes but genuinely repented of them afterwards and at least made some effort to re-dress the balance by telling the truth about what he and others had done without seeking personal advantage Got the usual Sinn Fein reward for speaking out.

Can you show something to back up that adams moved him to the south in the late 80s - two things there - one that gerry adams made that decision for his brother and that he did it at that time? Im betting - going by your past lack of answers, that you cant

McMurphy wrote: » "Only essential travel" what in under jaysis are you talking about anyway? , the Lockdown restrictions were lifted on June 29th and why did you cut the other half of my post off? But seeing as you did, going by what you posted above - are you now suggesting there was widespread social distancing guidelines being flouted at Garda Horkans funeral, and also the lockdown measures that were still active for his funeral, they were broken too? You're kind of tying yourself up in knots here blanch. It's quite funny actually.

You lads are starting to sound like religious sorts attempting to excuse the actions of clergy. Protect the organisation and its structures at all costs. Long term that doesn’t work out. Thankfully.
A bit like how he banished his brother over the border to continue working with children after his own niece came to him to tell him her father was a child abuser? Strong smell of sulphur off that one.
blanch152 wrote: » https://sluggerotoole.com/2010/01/16/liam-adams-timeline/ That time a decade later, is that when Gerry was attending the christening of one of Liam’s children in Dundalk? The Slugger O'Toole timeline is highly referenced, and as it says "Before Sinn Féin’s, and Gerry Adams’, story changes again I thought I’d try to tie down some facts about where Liam Adams was, and when." Either you have been suckered by one of Gerry's twists and turns, have failed to educate yourself on the timeline, or are just defending him for the sake of defending him.

Answer: you didnt address the actual point at all. Instead you give me a link to a blogger. Well done.

Yes David, you won’t know what the government is going to do until the cabinet meet, make a decision & make a statement on it. His predictable nonsense would drive you cracked, he’s the bar stool, wannabe RA member who cried wolf
