    I stood next to the Dessie Ellis gang of supporters in the RDS count centre during the last election.

    Dodgy as fucck is the only way to describe them. I felt uneasy. They stomped around the place in groups jeering other candidates and generally acting the maggot.

    Who were you expecting to be hanging out with the likes of Dessie Ellis

    That is nothing OP.
    I was at college a few years back for the societys open day.
    At the close the Sinn Fein party were closing up and folded the Tricolour in quarters. I was effing morto for them.
    Imagine claiming to be a Republican and not knowing how to fold the flag?

    I think he is referring to folks,who purport to support republicanism...but shy away when push come to serve....not the general population





    Its usually the quiestest most unassuming people,who end up with the fiercest republican streak,very few active rural republicans wake up on sundays with hangovers......



    ould lads living on isolated farms,their involvement virtually unknown even in their own areas are what backboned the provos down south and played a huge almost unacknowledged part in the troubles......its a reason why likes of martin ferris are held in huge esteem,he's one of their own

    Fair point about a Kerry Man like Ferris , but he was hardly unknown back in the day. Didn’t he get caught being involved in the Gardai raid on the import of guns into Kerry via The US in the 1980s (history repeating itself like Austin Stack )

    Special Branch and the Army G2 had pretty damn good intelligence on most suspects and supporters back then . Leitrim is an woeful place for quite Ra types and loud mouths - compensating for their point active record during 1916-1921 ? Lol

    Folding
    Fold the orange section over on top of the white section.
    Turn the flag over and fold the green section over similarly on top of the opposite side of the white section.
    Fold the flag in half doubling the orange section in on top of itself, leaving the green on both sides of the remaining square.

    No that is too complex for the baby shinners, might as well roll it in a ball and throw it in the corner. That is the future leadership of Sinn Fein

    I've an accent that's more English than Irish due to more years spent there, a mate introduced me to someone he knew, and without humour asked me 'If I was on a tour of duty in Ireland', didn't bother me as I'm not English, just thought 'what a prick'.
