Nuala, I try not to read it and invariably succeed? I don't expect any different. That is why it is not treated with any measure of gravitas and part of the reason behind why Daily Ireland folded. It is sad because West Belfast deserves much better.

Mackers, read today's Andytown News. Very sad to say it was filled with letters from shinners supporting Gerry Adams. There is something quite surreal in all of this, not only did some of the comments defy logic they defied belief. Of course Gerry who is currently basking in altruism is no longer only concerned with saving his own neck, he wants us to give space and sympathy to the Robinsons. Does anybody own an Island anywhere? preferrably one without any inhabitants? I'll return to Mr Adam's blog and ask him, i'm sure he knows a few?

Because of the old saying "anyone or anything but the Brits" my bet is Gerry Adams will face this crisis out, coming from his background of never being a Provo and having never led the Provo's covering up for his paedophile brother would seem a very small obstacle to him. Most people who vote Sinn Fein have to ask themselves the question do we support this type of action or not, this is not a grey area. Reading the Irish News today it reveals that Arthur Morgan TD in the south had no idea that Liam Adams was the Chairman of the Louth Sinn Fein in 1997, what a gobshite , and this man believes he can give us a better Ireland.

SF is more like a cult than a healthy functioning polital party. Any people who were clued-in got away from that or were tarnished or booted out quite some time ago. Suspect it will be a case of peoples dismay, deflation and revulsion at everything that's come to light [and the questions left hanging]that will express itself in coming elections.
Ironic that Gerry+co transformed a liberation struggle into an electioneering fest. 'He who lives by the sword' He wont resign the party 'cadre' lol are too emotionally dependant to even voice concearn never mind dissent. However, will he be up front in next election? Asset or millstone?

sooner or later the carpetbaggers who invested the rep movement in latter years,will come to the conclusion if they have,nt already that Gerry and all his baggage is detrimental to their political career,s and will do to him what he did to O,Braidaigh,after all Adams is,nt the only one capable of rigging the votes at an Ard feis.Adams may then split the party with those still loyal to their leader then forming the new ssfwp that is stormont sinn fein workers party sound familiar,there can be no doubt that when reps promoted effective local leadership in the 80,s it would morph into whatever Gerry says those who remain in the party now need to seriously ask themselves is this what so many suffered for and catch themslves on ,ADAMS may have the arrogance that the establishment have wraped a cloak of invulnerability around him but withthe likes of Antony ,Suzanne and others that will be stripped away and he will have to stand naked and then maybe those feet of clay will be exposed for all to see Marty f

Suzanne is comparable in my view to the likes of Veronica Gurin. She is a very courageous woman whose integrity has stood the test of immeasurable pressure. It is a pity she is one of so few, in fact some of the pieces written by journalists reporting on this story are nothing short of disgraceful.
Adams and co are claiming that dissident republicans are 'inspiring' the exposure of these revelations. If that were true all power to them, for no one in 'decent' society seems to give a damn about this issue.
There is an argument that if other political reps. spoke out it would play into Adams' hands and that nationalists would circle the wagons, I’m not convinced, Adams' culpability is evident, he is holding the smoking gun for PETE'S sake.
Read Squinter's piece on Newshound for a laugh, or should I say 'Squealer's'!
