Why were the provos robbing banks seven years after the cease fire then?
I see you are desperate to disassociate David Douglas from the provos as he is a convicted drug dealer, putting aside the fact he confessed to the Gardai that he was robbing banks for the provos can I ask you about all these splinter groups and dissident IRA factions, were any of these guys running about robbing, extorting and drug dealing ever provo members?
I never said they distributed the drugs, they smuggled them for a price, they have now been muscled out by the former provos who do distribute them.
Tom McFeely - The bankrupt hunger striker who wanted to be British?
Pearse McAuley - Jailed two years after the ceasefire for murdering a policeman during a robbery and described as a "psychopathic gun nut"? "On Christmas Eve, 2014, McAuley was arrested for stabbing his then-estranged wife multiple times in front of their two children" - lovely heroes to have I must say.
His mates who also took part in the murder Walsh and Sheehy to finish his house, the same botched robbery that the IRA said it had not been sanctioned by their command structure? Yet Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams, having first denied any IRA involvement, then went on to state that the killing was wrong and that it had been authorised at a low level?
The same Gerry Adams who won't admit being a provo despite giving the order to kidnap and murder Jean McConville?
And you say we should take these guys at their word?
You'll have to forgive me at this point for telling you to phuk off and that I would rather take the word of a journo putting his life on the line to expose these common criminals, or is one Veronica Guerin not enough for you?
