    Did TV3 lead with it as top story or are they in on the conspiracy too?

    I can assume you don't really know much about republican history.

    Well educate me then or do you just make posts and leave them in the air ?


    And don't say Dominic mcglinchey as at the time he was killed he was out of the INLA and on the run from everyone. And also you are assuming wrong.

    Because hurling and the Real IRA are so closely aligned.


    Would you say Henry Shefflin and Joe Canning are the generals..??
    And there will be 83,000 RIRA sympathisers in Croke Park today..??
    Sincerely hope you are taking the piss, if not then you really need to get out more as statements like that are an obvious cry for help. :confused:

    The murders in France is the far bigger story imo.

    Two innocent people were shot dead in france and their two daughters were let live to witness it in France. One scumbag got shot in Dublin.

    Two is greater than one.

    Whats the problem?

    Edit: It was his burial? In that case I care even less. How is that news worthy?

    I fail to see how yet another ex-IRA man being killed (not even, it's only the funeral. What are they going to say?) is bigger than the mysterious circumstances of a family and a passer-by being shot in the head.

    Foreign news trumps local non-news.

    If he was in the RIRA he was a scumbag and I don't care he is dead, and I care even less that he got buried.



    Well it seems the minister for justice had more than an Interest in the funeral yesterday even if RTE had not or by some posters here that it is/was a non story.

    Gardaí have begun a criminal investigation after shots were fired during the funeral of dissident republican Alan Ryan in Donaghmede yesterday.Minister for Justice Alan Shatter described some of the events at the funeral as reprehensible and absolutely unacceptable.........http://www.rte.ie/news/2012/0909/events-around-ryan-funeral-unacceptable-shatter.html

    His funeral was covered on both the 6:01 and 9 o'clock news, and also on RTE news now. I'm really not sure what your gripe with RTE is? What's the conspiracy? :confused:

    So where is the thread on that then?

    I'm not sure the length of a thread on Boards.ie is a scientific measure of public interest in a story. Otherwise, we would all be talking about nothing but the laughable 'merits' of intelligent design.

    Read the OP read your first answer.

    Its obvious that it was a major news story and rte albeit in a brief mention failed to cover the story,Yet our own minister of justice wants an investigation into it now, But you would rather our state broadcaster cover some under unfortunate murders in France.Now the question is where rte told to keep it low profile or not, thats what the OP asked.

    I don't know. Maybe washman3 thinks you look very pale and could use a little sun on your face for the vitamins? That's just a guess though.

    You could consider catching the All-Ireland Hurling Final replays on 30 September. That way you'd get out a little and increase your knowledge of hurling exponentially. Too birds with one stone and all that.

    Believe it or not, I am actually setting up an SSH tunnel on my Dads pc so I can watch it on the RTE player. But that wont help the paleness, as i will be indooors.

    The funeral was most likely going to contain very public, powerful, paramilitary essences, which from the reports from the funeral, were absolutely correct.

    Seeing such a powerful IRA presence and circus in broad daylight, where firearms were fired in "honour" was pretty disturbing from my point of view, and highlighted if anything how there is still a strong presence in Dublin as ever, despite what rubbish is reported that it is only a couple of old fellas and wannabe criminals....

    In reference to the France shootings, stuff like that happens every day in the likes of Sudan and Uganda.

    I really don't give a toss about murders in places like Sudan, Uganda and Donaghmede.

    I find what happened if France far more intriguing due to the international element and the manner in which they were carried out.
