But but Joe SF/IRA is not the same thingâŠâŠđ€·ââïžđ€·ââïž
Micheal Martin is a charlatan. He enthusiastically endorsed the peace process, which saw many IRA leaders and activists taking their seats in Stormont. Parroting Israelâs 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 đwest 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.
@cahillbooks Maria you are a typical west Brit.

This week's column: Yesterdayâs non-announcement by Sinn FĂ©in was the biggest âis that it?â moment of this complete nothingburger of a Presidential race.

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 donât need to be âwound upâ . The new legacy document between the Irish and British gov is pathetic.

The whole of RTE is trying to pretend I never existed, never wrote Father Ted, and wasn't arrested recently. But here's @PatricKielty pretending to care about free speech.
Before we went live with tonightâs #latelate, @PatricKielty recorded a special message of support for fellow chat show host @jimmykimmel âïž

In 1998, 100 Orangemen celebrated July 12 in Ăras an UachtarĂĄin 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. Itâs 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 â but that makes one omission all the more striking. To killers, it must reek of weakness. https://t.co/xK4cr3YK8G

Iâm keeping my council for the moment regarding the new âlegacy dealâuntil I consider it fully. I canât 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.
@OHanlonEilis So no bet then. Nonsense

@SimonHarrisTD Imagine if we told Fiona Pender or Annie McCarrick's family that they should give up on a criminal justice investigation to hold the perpetrator accountable and go to a body for "fact-finding" instead...

Well said Charlie... Victims of terrorist violence should never be forgotten just because they don't make enough noise...
Hillsborough Law has been achieved by campaigners. I would urge everyone to seek out The âJustice For The 21â campaign. In 1974 The IRA murdered 21 people in Birmingham.

"Sammy Heenan youâve spent 40 plus years wallowing in self pity because of your father got clipped because of his own deep rooted bigotry. Get a life" I left a simple comment expressing support for the Kirk family. These people never miss an opportunity to show their hate.

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.
This is heartbreaking. https://t.co/FbGhJSflah

@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.

Remembering all those from An Garda SĂochĂĄna who lost their lives , and the widows of those murdered by Irish republican terrorism and those brave serving officers who were seriously injured and their families đ
All 90 members of An Garda SĂochĂĄna who have lost their lives in the line of duty have been remembered at an event in Co Louth todayâŠMay we always remember those @gardainfo members who made the ultimate sacrifice & who died in service to this State..May their souls Rest In Peace
