    Absolutely Kilsally. The only policy I have is to avoid the wall mural and kerb painted ghettos (whatever colour kerb :) ) which is a very small part of the north .

    I know this is off the subject but Murph mentioned that Joe Rafferty was killed only minutes from his home.I can think of at least five people killed near my home in recent years,but their families have no media backing or meetings with the Taoiseach, but families of victims who were allegedly killed by Republicans are seen to be bigger victims.WHY.

    Because they weren't murdered by the paramilitary wing of a Irish political party?

    This, pointed at something else, to distract from murders by republicans, is just particularly low.

    Partly I would presumebecause the Sinn Fein type Republicans are now seen as a real political threat but I think many Republican victims feel very let down and forgotten when they see all the prisoners being released (including mass murdering Loyalists thugs it must be said).

    They're happy enough about murdering Republican thugs, tho?

    No, Operation Ploughshare still seems the best solution. On a day when the wind is blowing north, naturally.

    hill16, Rafferty was one of many people gunned down here in D15 over the past few years, but he was completely unknown to Gardai as opposed to most of the acknowledged drug (misery) dealing scum who die violent deaths around here. Forgive me if I don't feel as sorry for their families as I do for Joe Rafferty's.

    What exactly is Operation Ploughshare? Is it something about control of small arms smuggling? 'Cos I highly doubt you're talking about a project to think of peaceful uses for nuclear bombs (unless you want to use them to blow up all the paramilitaries...)

    No, no, I'm talking about the PNE programme. Blast a 2 mile wide sea canal along the border.

    (I'm joking, obviously. After all, it would be quite expensive.)
