    Ah well.

    Sure let him get it out of the way.

    (Awaits the cries of injustice when charges are dropped)


    In the meantime ... popcorn.

    Any hope they'll drag in a FFer over some money related shyte, a Labour chap over a bit of a fiddle and a few Greens - just for the craic, they're greens - to balance things up on the publicity front? No Fgs though - they're currently immune..

    OH SH**

    This could change Sinn Fein for good. Early days yet, but I always had a suspicion that Gerry was in the IRA

    he could end up on the same wing as his brother , one a child molester , and if convicted of anything , one a person colluding in the murder of a mother of 10 children.

    charming company

    Has been arrested or not? Also does it matter if a member of Dáil Eireann is being held in another jurisdiction?

    I was about to post some conspiracy theories, but then I realised that this'll all be forgotten about in about a month or so when he walks.

    Doesn't mean he's above the law in the UK or any other country for that matter.

    I mean, damn. This wasn't like a shooting of a rival paramilitary group member. This was an "innocent" woman with kids. They can't spin it in their favor in any way

    And your amazing deductive powers lead you to conclude this how?

    Did you even read the statement posted a few posts above yours where he says he never dissociated himself from the IRA?

    "I’m very, very clear about my denial of IRA membership but I don’t disassociate myself from the IRA"

    Member =/= association

    Obviously politically motivated timing. Been arrested before, hopefully he won't be beaten and tortured this time.

    Presumably Inda will bring this arrest up every time a SF TD asks any question of him or FG anytime for the next 30 years.

    He will hardly be found dumped at the border with his hands tied behind his back and a bullet in his head.

    In Ireland you have to be arrested to be interviewed. An arrest in itself simply means there are questions they want to put to you. It's a pretty ****ty system when you think about it. There is no way to formally interview a suspect without arresting them first. It may be the same in NI.

    They most certainly could. A welfare and tax system that balanced by some magic leprechaun pot of gold would be pretty bad for the country.
