mackers, you should have included rte in your critique of the media's handling of this story - tommy 'the shinner' gorman has gone out of his way to exculpate gerry adams while, with the exception of pat kenny, rte has largely ignored the story - where is miriam o'callaghan and prime time, why no exposé of this story? does sinn fein and the peace process deserve softer treatment than the catholic church?

"Fraid that your "Elephants", are peanuts in the real world. I think that you search for the "unforgivable crime" in order to find your own redemption. Telegraphing, as I said.

The question now that needs to be asked, what justice can an ordinary nationalist/republican get if the victim in these cases are being obstructed by Gerry Adams and Sinn Fein/IRA! Remember the recent incidents involving Sinn Fein/IRA, the Robert McCartney and Paul Quinn cover ups and denials, then there was the slow release of information to the families of the disappeared and the character assassination of the disappeared, the Robert McCartney sisters and the family of Paul Quinn!!!

Gerry Adams the man who all through his life has denied being in the IRA, and has denied his full roll in several infamous incidents during the so called troubles.

So Adams, form on these issues is hardly unfamiliar to him.

Here I believe is the issue that goes to the heart of the matter and issues that nationalists and republicans are in complete denial about.

The issue that needs to be addressed is that of the lies, cover-ups and disinformation that Adams is coming out with. These issues are of concern for the Unionist side of the fence, but the nationalist and republican side need to re-examine what type of people and party they want to represent them.

As a Unionist we have seen Adams blatantly tell lies and half truths over many years. He is a master in the tactics of deflection, spin and victim-hood, all the tactics he has used in this case.

The ordinary nationalist and republican needs to get the see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, collective monkey off their backs, and see Adams and Sinn Fein/IRA for what they really are.

Until ordinary nationalists and republicans, realize that Adams and Sinn Fein/IRA have a vested interest in keeping their communities and electorate subjugated then the cycle of some old, same old in nationalist and republican areas will continue forever.

I’m sure there are more of these cases, and at some stage they will be forced out, to affect the nationalist and republican communities.

Remember Robert McCartney and Paul Quinn if Sinn Fein/IRA can clean up and cover up murders, there is nothing they won’t stoop too, to cover up for the party’s apparatchiks or other IRA players in a sexual abuse allegation against ordinary people!!!

To quote Thomas Jefferson: “When the people fear the government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.” Change the government, to Sinn Fein and this seems to sum up everything in nationalist/republican communities!!!

Hi Anthony, there is more than an element of truth, in what the ex-prisoner told you about Sinn Fein censoring the Sunday Tribune. For the third week in a row we have been unable to purchase a copy of this paper anywhere on the Falls Road. Maybe there are designated places where people go secretly to buy a copy and have a read. Think I'll try Clonard crypt, have not seen any shinners there since the night last policing debate.
