Does anyone actually believe that Gerry Adams wasn't in the IRA?

Williams was doing it to infer he had some special insight, the usual 'know it all' ****e he does indulge. I'm closer, by a long shot to Derrylin, than Leitrim is and I wouldn't call it 'local'. It's as local as Cork is in terms of knowing anything 'local' about it.

Just walk away from this one SS.

safesurfer doesnt understand the concept of 'local'. Also loves to derail threads by the looks of it

I can walk from Leitrim to Fermanagh in literally a couple of steps but it’s not local?

That’s not what you said here is your quote yet again.

isnt that the lad who claims to be from the west of ireland, then claims to be 'local' to fermanagh etc etc - and he's really from Leitrim ....

We can return to discussing Gerry Adams not being in the IRA instead of Leitrim not being near Fermanagh if you want.

Williams...always giving the impression he has the 'only' story. Cods some I suppose.

I think he is a woeful journalist and full of bs but he knows Leitrim and Fermanagh are beside each other.

Now that you mention it the local bookshop is over a hundred miles away :-)

From where he lived, he would have to go through Cavan to get to Derrylin.

Beside him, sure it is SS!! :D

To drive from north Leitrim to south Leitrim you have to go through Roscommon. Does that mean north Leitrim is not beside south Leitrim?

You did read a fairytale! :rolleyes:

Internet hardman with a propensity to rake up a serious amount of inane banal posts on nothing.

I suppose in your neck of the woods torture is pittance when it comes to violence, especially when you refused yourself to condemn atrocities like Kingsmill and Warrington.

But it will be Poppy season soon. Your annual bugbear will see you rake up another impressive post count, where you feel your own rights are being violated for the sheer crime of seeing someone wear a Poppy.

Someone on the internet objects to another having a different opinion to him.

I presume your “local” paper is the Anglo celt. Do you think that might be the “local” paper for someone 20 miles away too?

In my neighbourhood and stories I've heard the Garda were the ones giving out beatings. Seen it myself as a kid. Do I think every Garda is at it? Not as much as they use to. Was common place one time.
Thugs exist. Trying to make them all SF is fine and dandy if it floats your boat.
The Poppy thing celebrates those fooled into killing and being killed. I always say the ceremonies should only consist of politicians and royalty apologising for sending people off to kill or be killed.
Anyway, another Troubles thread gone full circle. Should really be moved to history forum IMO.

I do. Demonstrating the nonsense of this post:

“isn't that the lad who claims to be from the west of ireland, then claims to be 'local' to fermanagh etc etc - and he's really from Leitrim ....”

Oh, you are free to have whatever opinion you want, even if that opinion is depraved, caveman-like and amounts to an amoeba. You will be called out on those depraved opinions from time to time, alas.

I guess scoring internet points and lol's is more important than your condemnation of what happened on Tuesday night. It thoroughly shows what type of human being you are.

Just for a bit of, 'feet on the ground', growing up in Enniskillen, the majority certainly wouldn't consider Leitrim local. Fully aware that the more rural one is, the further the spread of what's considered local grows, but it IS a fair aul stretch to call Derrylin local to Leitrim.

Still not sure what this has to do with Gerry in the RA, but it's more interesting than us all repeating the same arguments that were made 35 years ago.

No. Not that I ever said it did. But claiming Fermanagh and Leitrim is not nearby is about as credible as claiming Gerry was never in the IRA.

Current Spotlight series on BBC Ni should answer the original question for anyone who's still completely delusional.

Episode 2 should do the trick.

'Local' knowledge is not your thing is it SS?

The 'Northern Standard' would be the local paper here, followed by the Fermanagh Herald, followed way down in circulation would be the Anglo Celt.

Close...but like Mr Williams...not close enough! :cool:

:D:D Mark, all you need to do on a discussion forum is to discuss. Nobody bites if you don't agree with them.

Try and calm down there.

Ah shift the goalposts now is it?

Williams was called out for his usual roundabout way of inferring he had 'local' knowledge, so that when he makes claims about 'paramilitaries', gullible eejits will be suckered into to believing that a crime was conducted by a paramilitary organisation.

An 'ex-paramilitary' is just that, somebody who doesn't belong to any group.
So unless there is evidence to the contrary, all we know is that this was a crime like any other crime.
Crime which happens all over the world, and isn't unique to Cavan Monaghan or Leitrim.
