Imagine having senior members of a political party knowing who murdered a citizen of this state? It’s really dark stuff when you think about it.

There is an adamant view that the British colluded in Dublin/Monaghan/Belturbet bombings, I refer to them as 'alleged collusion'. We, (The Irish and British governments) tasked monitoring bodies to review this stuff. I depend on them, NOT rumour, not allegations and not people with agenda's.

A ‘Good Republican’ who has farms on both sides of the border gave the nod for it to go ahead. Seems he didn’t go to his colleagues on the army council as this was deemed a local issue.

the Storey funeral was badly organised and should not have been such a large event.

I reserve that for a few others desperate to do political damage with her. and refusing to listen to what the agencies we tasked with monitoring these things are saying. I'm fully aware and accepting of the fact that criminal elements attached themselves to groups on all sides of the conflict/war.
I wouldn't depend on a victim for a view on who was responsible to be perfectly honest.
blanch152 wrote: » This is just sickening. The denials, the side-steps, the victim-blaming, the not listening to victims. We see it displayed on here time and again and it is a reflection of the public face of Sinn Fein. Calling it morally depraved is an insult to the morally depraved. The killing of Paul Quinn by the IRA in South Armagh was beyond disgust, beyond depraved, yet it wouldn't even rank in the worst of the long list of atrocities committed by the PIRA with the support of Sinn Fein. There are no words to describe those who defend, excuse, explain or commend these acts.
FrancieBrady wrote: » The killing of Paul Quinn, allegedly by former members of the IRA, was beyond disgust and beyond depraved. I have always been of this opinion.
blanch152 wrote: » The allegation is that it was committed by then current PIRA members under the direction of the local commander Slab Murphy. If you are going to reduce it to just allegations, at least get it right, rather than trying to downplay it further that it was only former IRA members. This is exactly the sort of thing that I was talking about - denial, obfuscation, victim-blaming, diversion. If a Sinn Fein supporter came on here and accepted that the PIRA deliberately killed Paul Quinn but that it was an unavoidable consequence of the terrorist campaign that they fully supported, at least they would be giving an honest opinion, though not one that I agree with or accept.

Would you expect any Minister to resign if their Parliament voted to condemn their actions?
