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

This does? The gentleman poster was bringing up topics from the troubles and poppies. Not that you'd ever raise anything historical or comical

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

'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:

So your “local” paper is the Northern Standard. A paper which claims it “covers Counties Monaghan, Cavan, Louth, Armagh, Fermanagh and Tyrone.”

That’s a pretty wide definition of “local”.

This is a bit like Fr Ted. Small/Far Away. Pay attention here now SS...

It is 'local' in that context because the newspaper goes to those areas. The wee man puts a bundle in his wee van and drives to different towns and counties and delivers them to wee shops where the wee woman reads about the special bit inserted about her wee town or village.

The person reading it in my town is not 'local' to the person reading it up in Tyrone though.

Try and calm down there.

Is that when you call someone 'depraved, caveman-like and amounts to an amoeba'.

Sounds well 'hard' to me!

This is ridiculously low quality. What happened to playing the ball, not the man?

As usual, these threads just devolve into Francie posting a million times and a bunch of people ignoring said posts and personally insulting him.

And do the wee local journalists cover the whole wee local area or just the wee town they live in?

I challenged Mark on his adamant assertion about who was responsible here and he decided to attack me rather than back up what he so strenuously claimed.

Bizarre tbh.

No SS, a reporter would have their 'areas' typically. With local amateur correspondents. A lot of the content of local papers is written on a voluntary basis by Club PRO's, press officers for local organisations etc. and it is all pulled together by a small staff.

The thread thus far


1 - Gerry was never in the Sumo


2 - Some places are nearer other places than some other places


3 - Local papers for local people

Quote from article in today’s Sunday Independent writing about the immediate aftermath of Kevin Lunneys abduction.

“Almost simultaneously in the neighbouring county of Leitrim, John Mc Cartin, a non-executive director of QIH, was at home with his wife and children when he received an unexpected visit from a Garda. He said, I was just sent to see if you were ok.I said. Why would that be? Is everything alright? He said. Not really. Kevin Lunneys car is on fire and he’s missing.”

I think you will find that you are the one who introduced the tangent to the thread.

Gardai say the Lunney kidnapping is not paramilitary but criminal, according to RTE's Paul Reynolds, who isn't 'local' as far as I know, but I could be wrong.

I wouldn’t put much stock in their opinion Francie. Sure they think Gerry was in the IRA.

The Gardai?

Why didn't they arrest him so? Or were they guessing with no evidence too, like us all. Or maybe, like most of us, they just didn't care.

For someone who doesn’t care you sure do spend a lot of time on the subject.

Well I did hold out the rather forlorn hope that somebody could tell us why it matters a jot if he was or wasn't.

"Gardaí believe an organised crime gang with links to dissident republicans was involved in the abduction of Mr Lunney."

Grasping at straws again, Francie?

Will you be producing the quote again in a year's time?

"Paul Reynolds said one time that the Gardai once said that it was not paramilitary but criminal."

I think it is you who is clutching to be honest blanch.

'Links to dissidents'?

I'm sure the people who did this would have many 'links'.

Was it the work of a paramilitary group though is the question and according to Reynolds, the gardai say no.

Aaaaand this is the SF speak we hear so much from their politicians, one of the reasons they got decimated at the local elections, where the SF machines acted like a robot rather than anything human.

These people could have links to horticulturists or craft beer makers, but in the day to day vernacular of the engish language we know full well what 'links to dissidents' means. So fudge away Francie.

Gerry was an IRA man and a British agent. He was responsible for the Eksund seizure.
