    During this attack on the community, a Republican Volunteer attempted to defend people from the PSNI/RUC. Tragically a young journalist covering the events, Lyra McKee, was killed accidentally while standing behind armed Crown Force personnel and armoured vehicles.

    There will be no peace in Ireland until we deal with partition.

    But partition has been dealt with in the most democratic way possible quite some time ago with the GFA.

    Besides, I’m sure you are not deluded enough to believe that removal of the border would somehow be accepted peacefully by all.

    But you're hypocritical enough to okay with a violent minority once their behaviour suits your book:o

    That does not mention anywhere that Saoradh are responsible for her death.

    The Irish army have their own camouflaged pattern.

    Violent loyalists arent an argument against the removal of the border as per the terms in the GFA then,but there you are using it.

    As you say: Bollocks

    I don't agree with them or their politics but they have the right to exist, right to march and right to be heard. We cannot go down the slippery road of a dictatorship trying to ban those we don't agree with. Just ignore and forget about it.

    We are at the very beginning now but unless the Irish Government takes strong and unequivocal action to force the Assembly in Northern Ireland to reopen then I think it is inevitable that Republican Militarism will soon spread and a campaign of fighting start all over again. Leo Varadkar and his ilk make me sick, they really don't care about the North and their continued attempts to ignore it will only stoke the hornets nest even more. There needs to be more dialogue with action.

    Why are these marches happening? Because the Good Friday Agreement has been implemented and is now effectively dead, Northern Ireland still remains under British rule and every Irish man should have a duty to bring about a totally peaceful reunification using democratic means only. There can be no return to the past of fighting but our Govt here and in Westminster have turned their backs and are opening the door for these groups. They won't be silenced or censored as history has proven many times, they want to be martyred to further the cause.

    What is needed is dialouge, reopen the assembly and hold new elections and let these guys run and see if the people choose their ways or the way of peace. IF you shut them down and ban them then you let them win.

    Correct, I never suggested otherwise. I was responding to a post that seemed to suggest that violence would cease if partition were to end.

    You can get almost any DPM you want easily online, plenty of different types out there. Just seems a bit ironic for them to be wearing the uniform of the people they deem to be their foe.

    Yes but plenty of camouflaged patterns other than British are.

    Ok- I am going to go into a little bit of back story cause you clearly don't know it. On the founding of Saoradh Davy Jordan said the NIRA was the republican army. Saoradh then released a statement making excuses for the "Republican volunteer" who shot Lyra. JD is a member of Saoradh through his own admissions, JD was also seen 11 minutes before the shooter emerged in his unique clothing in the same unique clothing.

    Unless a Saoradh member is now joining another armed subversive group while sharing political aspirations of Saoradh, It's fairly easy to work out what is the situation.

    Very true. My point is that there are other camo patterns to choose from. It struck me as odd that they selected a British camouflaged pattern.

    British army camo is Multi terrain pattern. The one used by Saoradh wasn't multi terrain.

    I actually had one just like the ones Saoradh wore.
    It is definitely British army issue.

    Well I'm telling you factually it's not British army issue.

    For clarity Marpat is the camo used by Saoradh

    What they were wearing was the older B.A. camo.

    I haven't , I was charged in a diplock court in a time gone by and one of my charges was listed as a Marpat camo uniform in suspicious circumstances

    The fact that dark glasses is part of their uniform shows the cowards they are.

    Dark glasses was a funeral rig out. Commemoration was beret, high Skrim, jacket.

    Funeral Glasses were added then after the facial recognition charge against Paddy McDade in Derry a few years back Glasses seemed to come compulsory to stop the Retinal ID.

    Your uneducated and ignorant but I'm always here to correct with facts of course-

    Irrespective of Northern Ireland's constitutional status within the United Kingdom, or part of a united Ireland, the right of "the people of Northern Ireland" to "identify themselves and be accepted as Irish or British, or both" (as well as their right to hold British or Irish citizenship or both) was recognised.

    Nope, MarPat is a very different style of camo, do a quick search and you will see the difference.
    It's more "digital" looking as the colours are made up of small little block pieces.

    I agree that the murder of Lyra McKee was criminal.
    I agree it was wrong.
    I believe Saoradh and the NIRA are not republicans.
    I believe JD was the gunman and will be sacrificed by his leadership to save their own skin.

    More importantly RIP Lyra McKee everything else is irrelevant

    You're unable to differentiate between your and you're.

    Leaving aside your moronic assumption and your personal insults, these wanna be Fenian heroes are most likely signing on in the UK and therefore very, very British!

    If you were very well educated you would already know the annex I posted above regarding British or Irish Identity in the north of Ireland.

    You have no idea, and if we are honest your from a small country area with very little knowledge outside it. Sin é

    Yes but it's not like they've just started now, it's been used by various incarnations of the ira for years now, it's their 'uniform' based originally on neccessity. They won't change as it deligitimises them further by breaking their link to the past


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,719 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    There is one legitimate armed force in this Republic and thats the Defence Forces.

    I have no objection to any peaceful marches (marches including hateful messages or images aren't peaceful), but no-one should be permitted to march in military fashion in military or military-esque clothing, even if it is just army surplus.

    Let them wear white shirts and black trousers if they wish, they'll just look like the lounge boys union, but all headware, scarves, dark glasses and military garb that give an utterly false impression of a citizen militia or other para-military nonsense or seek to obscure marchers faces in a gathering should be confiscated on sight.

    Yes, there will be talk of infringements of rights to assemble or free expression etc, but these scum cannot have it both ways. If the Dept of Justice and Gardaí don't deal with this, the next time word of such a march gets around there will be other groups there to meet and and stop them and that could turn very violent very quickly.
