    Not a single Republican is in jail for dealing drugs.
    That doesn't mean they don't sell drugs. Down south they were always associated with bringing drugs into the country.


    Why force them out if it's alleged they are making millions from taxing dealers.
    Because with all the other drug dealers gone they have the run of the place. It's drug gang rule number one, destroy the competition.

    The actions of this Woman have as little to do with Republicanism as the actions of Michael Stone and Lenny Murphy have to do with Unionism.

    This woman was the wife of the leader of the continuity IRA in limerick who himself is now locked up, AFAIK the shooting was connected to different factions between the CIRA,open to correction on this.

    I think it was his daughter not his wife. Either or, a complete joke.

    what about this lad?

    http://www.herald.ie/news/ira-kicks-heroin-dealer-off-its-landing-in-prison-29176395.html


    in case somebody argues that he hasn't been convicted (yet!) - why was he allowed on the republican wing in the first place?

    First, that was a past conviction.
    Secondly, it's unlikely he was or is an IRA member (he was simply in a commercial building when the gun was found.)
    Third. The Authorities put him in the IRA landing.
    Fourth. The IRA kicked him out.
    Fifth. This was a sting operation. One of the 8 may well be an agent provocateur...who may have planted the gun and lured others into the building in order to be framed.
    Sixth. Gardai are corrupt to high heavens and this one stinks.

    Yes, where can we read about this?
    For the Internation Monitoring Commission (which incorporates MI5, Garda intel, CIA and Interpol) have never alleged Republicans of drug dealing.
    The people bringing in drugs to Ireland tend to be FG/FF voters, pillars of society, members of the local golf club/Rotary Club who own yachts off Spain, private jets and multiple homes in Ireland.
    IRA members tend to live in council estates with no visible signs of wealth.

    According to the Omagh Civil Case, the RIRA leadership were personally penniless and eligable for free legal aid.

    CAB have never investigated a single member of any dissident group.

    They have, however, alleged the IRA were connected international drug trafficking.

    In the 90s US drug trafficker (Robert Flint) was hired by the Provos to transport cocaine to Iran to be exchanged for weapons which would be trafficked back into Ireland.

    So while they never directly touch the drugs they do get involved in trafficking and supply when it suits.

    From your very own link,
    "The IRA had nothing to do with the cocaine. If you know anything about the IRA, they want nothing to do with drugs." Robert Flint.

    The dissidents would have a similar attitude to drugs. Slightly right to the Taliban when it comes to drug dealers.

    They never touched the stuff, but they were happy to profit from it and train those directly involved in it's production.

    And there's also this bit,
    Although very few IRA members are directly involved in drug dealing in Northern Ireland, RUC and Army intelligence officers state that the organisation "licenses" drug dealers in nationalist areas and takes a portion of their profits.

    Really?
    You don't think they might have an agenda or vested interest in disinformation.
    From the people who gave us "WMD".

    Dealing in drugs or profiteering in drugs is punishable by death.
    Thats what the IRA do to their own members who try to engage in this activity.
    Of the 200 dealers kicked out of Derry, not a single one mentioned that they were "taxed" by Republicans.
    Never mind the ridiculous notion that the IRA "train" druggies.

    OK, so the claim that nobody has accused the IRA of drug related activity is true as long as we don't take the opinion of the investigative services into account.


    Sounds reasonable.

    They are pretty accurate in all fairness,they got it bang on with Iraq.

    OP you're an idiot.
    The man is a victim of a violent woman who claims to be a republican, not of violent republicanism.

    I'm glad you concede.

    And to bring it to a complete circle lets go back to the first quote,

    For the Internation Monitoring Commission (which incorporates MI5, Garda intel, CIA and Interpol) have never alleged Republicans of drug dealing.

    Really?

    The [INLA] is heavily involved in criminality, especially drugs

    - Source
    CIRA members continue to be involved in a large range of other serious criminal activity, including drug dealing

    - Source
    [INLA] remained involved in organised crime, including drugs
    - Source
    We believe that [RIRA] members robbed a public house in March and that they have obtained protection money from local drug dealers

    There is a lot more to this story,she isn't a member of any group.

    Edit-just heard on radio she was a member of rcira or whatever their calling themselves,seems it was retaliation for another murder,madness.

    IRA ah a great bunch of lads.

    Able to blow up and shoot their own in the name of Ireland.

    If there is a hell I hope they get what is coming to every single one of them.

    The IRA seem to work like a corporation, the terrorists themselves are the employees and Drug dealers are their contract workers. So none of the employees are involved in drugs, but they are happy to take a portion of the profits from nasty dealers under the cover of being anti drugs.

    I'm no apologist for the IRA but they don't actually exist anymore. What you have now are fringe groups, random die hards and extremists who are not part of the peace process and don't want to be.

    The dizzies have very little support for their "campaigns" and rightly so.

    To appease Unionists, the British set up the International Monitoring Commision (with intel from ALL the foreign and domestic spy agencies) to deliver annual reports on "paramilitary" groups.
    Show me one report that states Republicans are dealing in drugs or profiteering from drugs.
    Obviously, certain elements of the spying community are going to feed misinformation to friendly journalists as part of the "War for Hearts and Minds".
    This happens in all conflicts.

    Take some time out to familiarise yourself with the topic first.
    Here's an Australian documentary on the matter.
    Something we are deprived of in Ireland. ...an impartial, insightful and fair report.
    Interviews with anti drugs activists, drug dealers, and local police.
    The Drug Dealers (hundreds of individuals) mention nothing of these allegations of "taxes or bribes".
    The police mention nothing of the allegations made by the likes of Paul Williams or Tom Brady etc.
    The police and dealers clearly state that it's a matter of the IRA trying to combat the drug problems in their areas.
    Incidentally, it's the community itself who demand the IRA take action against drug dealers.
    Enjoy.

    Press Release/Preas Ráiteas

    Clarification from Republican Sinn Féin

    Some of todays newspapers (April 10) carried reports that Joe Lynch, Limerick, father of Rose Lynch, is a member of Republican Sinn Féin.

    Neither Joe Lynch or his daughter are members of Republican Sinn Fein, nor have they been since April 2010 when they were expelled. He is part of a group usurping the name of Republican Sinn Féin to cover their nefarious activities.
