Micheal Martin is a charlatan. He enthusiastically endorsed the peace process, which saw many IRA leaders and activists taking their seats in Stormont. Parroting Israel’s perversersion of democracy is to expected from the ceiling pointer.

That's Irish-speaking (Chaill mĂ© cuid de mo chuid Gaeilge) culture-loving, Clancy brothers singing 😉west Brit to you, thanks. We've got to stop resorting to lazy insults when we don't like what someone is saying. As I said, Wolfe Tone would turn in his grave.

I am so fed up. I absolutely hate how victims of terrorism are used by solicitors and various victims groups The fact is most only want to know the truth. They don’t need to be “wound up” . The new legacy document between the Irish and British gov is pathetic.

In 1998, 100 Orangemen celebrated July 12 in Áras an Uachtaråin as guests of then-president Mary McAleese. The sky did not fall in. Yet here we are, almost 30 years later... the recent sectarianism really is beneath us. https://t.co/Ro0oYriDhV

I had a knee replacement in 2017 at age 47,it was really bad to have it done under the age of 50. It was the best, most life changing surgery I had. I now,am on a waiting list for a right knee replacement. It’s so blooming sore !!!! I pray that it is as successful as the left

The deal between the British and Irish governments on how to approach the legacy of the Troubles is in some ways quite detailed — but that makes one omission all the more striking. To killers, it must reek of weakness. https://t.co/xK4cr3YK8G

I’m keeping my council for the moment regarding the new “legacy deal”until I consider it fully. I can’t help though but feel depressed that once again , victims and survivors have that feeling of uncertainty, with various commentary and wonder whether they will ever get the truth

I wish to offer my sincere apologies for lying in a tweet this morning about putting on a bet with Paddy Power. This sort of outrageous fake news is what is wrong with the country today. I am considering my position & may need to enter a nunnery for the next 20 years in penance.

Hillsborough Law has been achieved by campaigners. I would urge everyone to seek out The “Justice For The 21” campaign. In 1974 The IRA murdered 21 people in Birmingham.

Adams has never condemned my sisters murder or the attempted murder of my parents . My sister taught at Holy Child Andersonstown . Her young class were sure to make their first confession, in preparation for holy communion. Adams is a coward. He knows why I say this.

Gerry Adams backed Mary McAleese for the Irish Presidency and lauded her when she left office. But in private, declassified files show she told the British Ambassador she was so dismayed when Adams was on TV that she was left shouting at the screen. https://t.co/mcyuhUnVJJ

I'm scratching my head at these @HHumphreysFG stories re the Orange order and attending parades. I've attended parades, including the Black Preceptory. We're supposed to all look towards an inclusive Ireland, aren't we? There's a tone to the coverage which suggests not.

Shameless weaponising of women's trauma from Peadar. Most were late term abortions & all had life limiting conditions. My abortion took 3 attempts & there was a chance it wldn't work. It did thankfully. Had our daughter been born alive her existence would have been excruciating.

@AnnTravers6 Yes, I particularly remember Garda Gary Sheehan, murdered during the Don Tidey rescue. I spent ten days in that frozen hellscape in Leitrim. And Garda Frank Hand, murdered in Drumree, Co Meath in 1984. I was there very shortly afterwards at the scene. He had no chance.
