    The selection committee who nominated young Jonathan to run for SF must have really let their guard down that night.

    Not at all. Would be seen as a badge of honour for SF to support a lawbreaker maverick like that who would not call the Guards. Law unto themselves. Hate the organs of State too.

    Ask Martin Ferris.

    Like the selectors of any politicians who subsequently fell foul of the law. There really isn't a point there other than the juvenile 'they are all the same'.

    He was in sinn fein.


    being in sinn fein doesn't mean one was in the ira when it existed. being in the ira when it existed doesn't mean one is in or was in sinn fein.

    ticking a box on a form does not make you of a religion.

    I know that.

    The poster stated he was in the ira.

    I'm saying I only seen evidence of him been in sinn fein.

    There are certainly some questions to be answered as to why he left the party shortly after the kidnapping. How much did they know about this before it came to the attention of the Gardai?

    If this happened in any other political party you can be damn sure SF would be hounding them for answers to these same questions

    I could be wrong but the garda acidentally found the video he was been investigated because of his links to Hutch drug gang. How much of that relationship were SF aware of?

    No skin in the game and I have absolutely no sympathy sorry.

    But when you see the derisory sentences for other things like child abuse and so on, you would wonder.

    Anyway.

    Funny you should mention child abuse in a thread about sinn fein ex members.

    Your spell checker is on the blink so I fixed it.

    You really have to laugh how the shinners are whining about how this has nothing to do with sinn fein and how he is an ex member.
    And you could bet your house on it that if an ex FG, Labour or fianna failer were caught doing anyhting half as bad, they would be all over it like flies on a cowshyte.

    It's the craziest story I've heard in a while. The confidence displayed and the self righteous conviction of their actions was shocking. The fact that they actually thought they were untouchable and more or less were... is telling. After all, nobody reported them. They were caught by their own video recording.

    Family friend and it seems he was willing to use his contacts to help with sourcing weapons.

    He said he was.

    If I had a pound for every gobsh*te who said they were in the IRA while making threats I'd be richer than Bono. There's not even any speculation that he was ever even a member of that organisation from what I can see.

    Look, he was a scumbag involved in a political party - was got shot of and that's that. People thinking he was some sort of trained IRA operative engaging in secret Sinn Fein interrogation tactics are off their heads. He's a dope and a thug, nothing more.

    As someone else said, Fine Gael recently had one of their members attempt to glass a man in the face but we're not taking this as indicative of them and their members.

    This eejit hasn't even been involved with SF for years.

    His house was raided as part of an investigation into the above. He was the link between the ira and the Hutch's being a family friend and all.

    The waterboarding video was pure luck.

    But he had a place in a political party. He was a serving SF councillor at the time this happened.

    Plus he's 40, what f**king war was he fighting in Dublin in the late 90s?

    He wasn't a serving councillor, he wasn't even a party member,

    The Provisional IRA had no links with the Hutches, it's a dissident crowd called the NIRA accused of that.

    I can't see where the article specifically mentions him as 'the link'. Maybe I missed it.
    Is this a proven fact or are you just guessing that he's 'the link'.

    Nothing but a lying thug. He was fecked out of the shinners because they knew he was goosed and wanted to distance themselves from him. Good bed partners by the sounds of it.

    It's what the papers are reporting. I think he has stated the Hutch's are family friends.

    Did not read the last 5 pages.

    This chap is a scumbag and gets 12 years, there are scumbags with 100+ convictions not getting jail time, WTF is wrong with this country?

    I reckon we should label all scumbags with 100+ convictions as shinners...

    boom crime problem and reoffending problem solved.....
