The robbery itself was given the green light by a senior member of the PIRA in Munster. SF TD Martin Ferris later picked up one of the killers from prison - the psychopathic Pearse McAuley. The killers were also given a rousing standing ovation at a SF ard fheis - young Mary Lou, Doherty, O Broin were in the audience. Other parties will rightfully commemorate this day. I wonder will anyone from SF?

The fact that they used the Nazis treatment against jews, and compared it with how the Israelis are treating Palestinian people to make that comparison is somewhat Godwin like, but it's hardly "anti-Semitism" now is it? There's an awful lot of people on this planet that disagree with what the Israelis are doing in the region, and their treatment of others - surely you aren't suggesting they're all anti-Semitic because they condemn it?

Seriously, what sort of person would make that kind of comparison given what happened in the Holocaust. No sensitivity at all.

"Alliance councillor Peter McReynolds tweeted during the debate: “There’s a massive dose of irony in the fact it’s Bike Week and in Belfast City Council we’re discussing how Sinn Fein and the DUP voted to support private taxis in bus lanes. People before Profit [also] supporting the private taxi lobby," It really beggars belief.

Something doesn't add up.
