    If a border poll passed, FF and FG will have to be seen to support the GFA and the wishes of the people. The narrative in the south will change from the media I'd say and will have support. Even if it's tight, it will always just pass here

    You may be right, I do have doubts. Most people I know already say no.

    I guess I judge based on work, family, friends opinions. Limited of course.

    My father was a gaurd and regularly dealt with pIRA members, was stationed at various places on the border. Had two other immediate relations in the Gaurds too. Not one of them would suggest the pIRA were "Garda killers".

    Several unfortunate events happened where Gardai were killed unintentionally or members acting independently of orders. But the organisation made a point of not targeting Gardai. Most Gardai stationed on the border during the bad times would testify to this Id believe, infact when caught, they were more respectful than anyone towards the Guards.

    You can choose to believe that or not, but it's how it was. Calling them "Garda killers" is disingenuous in the extreme

    Your father sounds like he was deeply corrupt if he was willing to help SF/IRA criminals.

    Why?

    The PR campaign to convert the PIRA into the friendly neighbour terrorist continues I see.

    Back to the original point, Gerry Adam’s, the answer is no on so many levels but the worst thing he has done is protecting paedophiles. Nobody should defend him over that but I’m sure someone will

    For that alone he should be fired into a jail cell and never see the light of day again.

    Mod: Since this thread is largely not up to the standard of this forum and that the OP is a rereg, I am locking this.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
