    Also if your insinuating Im a ''wannabe RA head or knacker'' your very wrong, I just dont see why everyone is slating him.

    That is because you choose to ignore what the majority of the newspapers, crime reporters, Gardai and people affected by his actions, say about him.

    Listen we all get your type never admit to any wrong doing by never incriminating yourselves, but your defence of a man you never knew is more laughable than the Church defending priests for abusing kids.

    Alan Ryan lived two lives. On one hand he would claim to be a republican.he courageously protested at the dail on budget day for the Irish people ( how many law abiding citizens were there )he despised drugs and the dealers.if anybody in the donaghmede community had a problem Alan would do what he could to help you no matter if he knew you or not. He protested the length and breath of this country for political prisoners like Marian price he believed in a free Ireland ( which he had a right to like every woman man and child in this country does ) I personally couldn't care less if d 6 counties were ours or not. On the second hand of Alan he claimed to push drug dealers out but in doing that he lined his greedy pockets with there money. Money that was made selling poison in our community he would then use that money to live a lavish lifestyle he may aswell of been dealing the drugs. I believe Alan honestly thought by 'taxing' the drug dealers he was doing good in a way he was d small time dealers were put out of business but Alan cant controll the big drug traffickers of Ireland they have just as much man power more money and guns to do what they want they prob paid Alan not because they were intimidated but because he was a fly that wouldn't go away. Alan didn't intimidate ordinary people working 9 till 5 jobs he was nothing but an ordinary donaghmede man to them bu for the business who he intimidated bullied an d harassed ask them why he did??? No1s innocent not Alan nor the business men and drug dealers he stole from. Alan in the end was a dangerous man but not to the ordinary person he was dangerous when comes to a drug dealer crossing him but he couldn't take them all on that's why he died.

    You're right, it's far easier to remain anonymous on a forum, especially with the words Army, Fighter, or freedom in the username.:pac:

    So the two guys that leased a pub down the road from the players lounge who wanted to make an honest living were not innocent? They were trying to make an honest living and on the orders of that other scumbag stokes he threatened them!! A real stand up guy!!

    I wonder what will happen next, I wouldn't like to be the people responsible. What happened is not good news, no matter how you try and portray the victim.

    This may escalate from here and people will inevitably get caught in the middle.

    One thing I will say is that I hope the special branch thugs stay away from his funeral and let his family and friends grieve in peace, I think thats a right everyone should have.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26 Donaghmedegirl


    And for the people claiming Alan wasn't a part of any IRA group ask yourself why have the streets in donaghmede been lined with black and tri colour flags. Why was there shots fired off in fr Collins park on tuesday evening as a mark of respect. All of this is in line with the IRA bury their dead the 32 county sovereignty committee which alan ONLY claimed to be a part of is a political protest group who in no way use firearms or line the streets with black and tri colour flags. I can guarantee you that when Alan Ryan is put in the ground on Saturday morning there will be shots fired nearby as a mark of respect that again is of IRA identity.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 266 ✭✭finty

    victim, lol!

    The only thugs at the funeral will be the cowards in the balaclavas.

    I can agree stokes is a scumbag Alan Ryan was a scumbag you should read my message again in no way did I defend Alan Ryan I gave my point of view on the two personalities Alan had the two business men your talking about who owned the pub I truly feel sorry for them because I believe stokes was the leader in dat and Alan was paid to do it as I said he was greedy when it came to muny but there times Alan hates send business men who allowed drugs to be sold on their properties that's what I meant by not all the business men were innocent

    Sounds like a classic case of the irish happily looking the other way when they themselves are looked after.

    And none of your ilk ever act like thugs isn't that right?

    I've never acted like a thug.

    So you accept that the special branch are thugs then, glad that's settled.

    I am in no way looking the other way I'm stating facts and I am in no way defending Alan Ryan I applaud him for protesting at the dail on budget day bu I have no respect for a man who claims to be pushing drug dealers out by taking their muny and living a lavish lifestyle as I said he may aswell of been selling drugs himself as I said he was dangerous but not to normal people like you and me but to drug dealers who themselves are dangerous scumbags. And by no means have I ever needed help from Alan Ryan have never seeked help or wanted help from him but whether you want to hear it or not he had split personalities as I said he lived two lives most people knew Alan as a nice guy very few in his circle knew him as a dangerous cold blooded killer

    This, and your other posts, are the most sensible offerings in the entire thread. Clearly you know how it is in Donaghmede, and can see why some people from that area are sticking up for him, while at the same time not accepting the other stuff he may have done from a criminal point of view.

    Most people in donaghmede had respect for Alan for his protesting and the help he have to people in the community and that's why people are sticking up for him they are not part of his inner close circle who know the Alan who could have a drug dealer killed for not paying their so called 'taxes' a lot of people in the area are horrified of what the Papers are printing about him and don't believe it because they knew this guy as lovable character but as they say there is no smoke without fire here papers can't just make this stuff up I'm sure their legal teams and most of all their accountants would be telling them that

    Do you actually know how to read when and where in that massage did I apologise for ****ing Alan Ryan either you can't read or you don't get out of the house much . As I said ( maybe get mammy to read this out for you ) Alan Ryan had two lives on one he CLAIMED to be a republican on the other he was a cold blooded killer those are facts not apologys facts about a man you don't know

    This stuff was written about Alan on news websites and papers long before he died pal . Let me guess from your name you are a Celtic scarf wearing idiot who probably hasn't a clue about his Irish history just that the Brits own 6 counties and ya don't like it

    Ha, I don't have a scarf.

    You can't defame the dead so they don't exactly have to worry about legal implications do they?

    Simple, valid point. No need to lose the plot.
