    If SF apologised for the IRA I'd lose some respect for them.

    Speaking of living in the past....theres no IRA anymore.
    Maybe MM will apologise on everyone's behalf...

    The IRA was not disbanded.

    And still has quite a list of murder and violence to its name over the last 20 years.

    There won't be a united Ireland either until an apology is made to the unionist community by Sinn Fein.

    Heh? Unionists killed more than the IRA, what kind of fuked up world do FGers live in?

    I'm sure the PSNI and the Garda will take your statement,

    Yes they were. They didn't ride off into the sunset and are still among us.

    Anecdotally?

    All joking aside, the PSNI and the Gardai have been consistent and clear that the Army Council is still in place.

    Yes, structure still active, but just trying a different tactic for the present. Policies can change, which is the problem. And even then, while reduced, there is still far too much murder and terrorism since the 'ceasefire' to take these guys seriously.

    By 'tactic' do you mean standing down and signing up to peace and joining SF in the democratic election process, (which was arguable always a goal)? By 'at present' do you mean since 1998? :)

    Seems some have issue with the competition.

    The fallout from the Roy Greenslade affair continues.


    https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-did-roy-greenslade-demonise-me-when-i-accused-an-ira-member-of-rape-


    "And then, two weeks after I waived my lifetime right to anonymity, Roy Greenslade decided to attempt to throw a cloak of caution around my credibility. In a Guardian article, headlined ‘BBC Programme on IRA rape allegations flawed by lack of political balance’, Greenslade questioned why the programme did not disclose my brief membership of a political dissident group – 13 years after I was abused.

    ‘Critics suggest that Spotlight’s presenter and producer were too willing to accept Cahill’s story and did not point to countervailing evidence,’ he wrote. ‘That is not to say that she was not raped. Nor does it negate her view that the IRA handled her complaint clumsily and insensitively.’

    After attacking the ‘lack of balance’ in the BBC NI piece, he then took it upon himself to list my political history – some of it inaccurate – which he viewed as highly relevant when discussing my brutal experience of abuse, and of the IRA and Sinn Fein’s treatment of me as a result.

    Strange (and some would say hypocritical) that he did not disclose in the same piece, his own secret long-held support for the IRA. I appeared on countless live TV and radio programmes, and answered all questions put to me, which is more than any of the IRA members involved in my case did. Women’s Aid, the Rape Crisis centre, and countless editorials provided public support. Greenslade chose instead to bemoan the media treatment of Gerry Adams.

    The BBC programme and its acclaimed journalist went on to win a plethora of prestigious accolades, including two RTS awards for its programme. Meanwhile, Greenslade flogged a dead horse and continued to criticise it in a number of subsequent blogs.

    My previous political affiliations, long gone by the time of the programme, had no more bearing on my rape than my later position as an Irish Labour senator when in Government, or my time as an SDLP councillor. That Greenslade chose to conflate it illustrated for me the depths to which some would plunge in attempting to deflect attention from the real issue: my treatment at the hands of the IRA and Sinn Fein."


    This is powerful stuff from Mairia Cahill, recounting how the secret IRA supporter in the media took her down with his dissembling and off-topic mumblings. The lies he peddled are still repeated to this day, including regularly on these boards.

    It is time we drew a line under the snide attempts to damage Mairia Cahill and the accusers put back in their box. I expect she will get an apology from the Guardian now, but I doubt there will be any posted on here.

    TBF, if a line is drawn under it you'll find it difficult to continue abusing the woman and using her for 'debate'.

    So not lies actually? If we come back to the core issue from deflection like court cases or the Labour Party, or Judean Peoples Front hairsplitting. The IRA still exist, and have a dreadful list of murder and terrorism despite claiming to be on 'ceasefire'.

    It gets confusing if you drill down that far given Mary Lou was once in Fianna Fáil rising and following charlie as was that Andrews fella :D
