As a Nationalist and as an Irish man, I think SF have taken a difficult and troublesome path. It isn't perfect but it beats the hell out of direct rule. With a little difficulty I say lets give this a chance

very moving...as a first generation American of Irish descent i think this is great...remember being in Fermanagh in 94 and seeing the patrols....still would like the british govt to come out and admit that the RUC were in cahoots with the UDA and LVF all those years though....

did martin mcguiness try to push ian paisley down the stairs at 2.34

@TBro278 Tbro, They were never in Direct cahoots with UDA UVF LVF UFF RHC RHD, What some of the RUC's officers did when they were off duty, wasn't their fault. Some members had more Extreme ideas of Unionism than others. My Father Was in the RUC and in the PSNI and still is and has been for 28 years. And I can say without a shadow of a doubt for less than a second, he never ever came close to wanting to become involved in loyalist paramilitaries.
