    Roslea Informers' Charter Condemned

    Residents in the Roslea area of County Fermanagh received a questionnaire on Thursday morning, 30th April, asking for recipients to inform on who they have seen using a public telephone box in the village from the 2nd through to the 12th April. Previously the RUC had sent a similar questionnaire to residents of Roslea asking for information regarding activity in the Rellan Road area following a military operation against British Crown Forces in the area.

    This latest questionnaire asked recipients to identify anyone seen in the phone box by name; age; gender; height; hair colour and a number of other characteristics. They were also asked why they remembered this, and whether they had access to CCTV footage or knew of anyone else who may have access to CCTV footage. The last of the seven questions provided space to add any further intelligence about Republican activity in the Fermanagh area.

    Contact numbers for Strand Road Barracks in Derry and Enniskillen Barracks were included.

    A spokesman for Republican Sinn Féin described the survey as an “informers' charter”:

    “No-one should respond to this disgraceful survey. Despite what Seán Lynch and his cohorts would have people believe, providing information to the enemy about Republican activity is informing. The people of Roslea made it clear to McGuinness what they think of him and his band of traitors. The writing was, quite literally, on the wall.”

    ENDS
    "I hereby declare that the Continuity Executive and the Continuity Army Council are the lawful Executive and Army Council respectively of the Irish Republican Army, and that the governmental authority, delegated in the Proclamation of 1938, now resides in the Continuity Army Council, and its lawful successors."

    Comdt. General Thomas Maguire

    Hopefully nobody will be so base as to answer this disgraceful incitement to treason, and will burn these forms immediately.

    why are they asking. is it some new policy of trying to persecute good catholics by denying them their lawful god-given right to make phonecalls or are they trying to protect society by identifying and arresting some scumbag.

    If they are interested in arresting scumbags, they will not need to leave their own barracks.

    I always 'hear' mainlining Provos speaking in a sort of weird high pitched staccato chant.

    I suppose its always possible a couple of percent of the population look forward to living in a Marxist wonderland cheering happily as the Provisional Leader sweeps past in the official People's Republican Limousine.

    Anybody who thinks your mob has any intention of looking after ordinary people if it got into power is indeed one of life's natural recruits.

    My grandfather earned a couple of medals back in the day. He said he was given them for standing guard at a bank while the senior comrades went in with empty bags and emerged wth full ones.

    Yeh. Power to the people. Fianna Fail are sh*t but at least they make an attempt at credibility from time to time.

    Think they screwed up with that sentence, surely from the RSF point of view that is informing and Lynch is in the right?

    Im wondering if this is the same Lynch of Fermanagh DPP? The same brave man who cried out he would "put manners" on the psni rogues?

    "I don't think Martin McGuinness necessarily intended to kill anyone while in the IRA." factual
