"The bold boys in Sinn Fein dont like me" - Enda

[Jack_Flash]

i take it you saw the interview jack ?

What does it matter whether I've seen the interview or not. What you are going to say is so predictable that it's boring. Hence the ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz..........

Awight.

[meriwether]

Whoring the man's memory, well thats your skewed view. Supporting Anne McCabe's stance I'd say is a damn sight more honourbale then cheer leading for his killers in Castlerea.

But thats another debate.

As I've said in a previous post Enda Kenny has been completely misrepresented in the context of his involvement to free the Rossport men. I won't go back over covered ground it's in the Gerry Adams/Rossport thread.

I know that Enda sought to brief lawyers for Shell and the 5 in advance of Friday on the McGann case vis a vis the varying of an injunction. I think that was a very constructive move, others mightn't, they're entitled to their view.

Willie Corduff is entitled to his view and it appears he has his mind firmly made up on this one.

Crocker, I have respect for your point of view on here, and like hidings, i generally enjoy reading your posts, as you are both some of the better FG posters on here (As you might understand, I regard barry as a bit of a half-wit, but thats almost universally accepeted here, even amongst FGers), I felt that my post last night, had to be written.

It was naueseating in the extreme, to once again have the Mc Cabe case raked up in a debate that has absolutely nothing to do with it.

The reality as far as the Mc Cabe case goes, is that it is settled. Fair enough to FG, they did a damn good job in making sure that the Castlrea 5 will stay in jail, despite it being against the terms of the GFA, as directed by the Irish Supreme Court, but thats the end of that. The got their pound of flesh, and while I disagree with them, I'll admit, if I were in your shoes, I'd probably have done the same thing.

However, constantly referring to the case is, without any question, a blatant whoring of the mans memory. The SF opposition to the Shell pipeline, and their support of the Rossport men has absolutely nothing got to do with Garda Gerry Mc Cabe. Our condemnation of Enda Kenny, has nothing to do with Garda Gerry Mc Cabe.

Why did Enda Kenny feel he needed to say that the only reason SF attacked him in relation to this case, is because of his stance ragarding Gerry Mc Cabe.

It was a lie. He knew it. You know it.

Faced with criticism on his stance regarding the Rossport 5, Kenny could have forcefully made the case that you are making here for him Crocker. he could have told RTE what he had done in relation to the case, instead of expecting you to tell us. Instead of sending Durkan as a bag boy to Dublin Saturday.

But instead he hid behind a dead man, knowing people wouldn,t throw stones at him

pathetic CJ. Pathetic

Rock, sit down for a minute. I want to ask you something.
Lets go over the Rossport5 issue.
The source of this controversy is the signing away of Irelands mineral rights for a song. This was done by the FF/PD govt.
The next contentious issue is that this Govt then agreed to allow Shell to build a pipeline, despite serious safety concerns. The fact that they have now ordered a safety review kind of indicates that they are not convinced by whatever guidelines they have already. But they proceeded anyway with the plan previous to this. How can it be a safe plan a few years ago, but now it needs review?
This incompetence was brought to you by the FF/PD govt.
The next issue is the Jailing of the men. This was carried out by the Judicial system.

Yet, over the past number of months, you have constantly posted messages highly critical of FG, and Kenny in particular.
Why?
Do you not understand the issue?

Are you so blinded by prejudice against FG that you lash out, at even the most far-fetched things? Because surely you can see from above that attacking FG for the treatment of the 5 men is slightly missing the target of those most culpable.

It's also worth pointing out that one (I can't remember which) of Rossport 5 interviewed on Dunphy yesterday morning described as Jerry Cowley and Michael Ring as the two politicians that listened to them and stood up for them more than anyone else.

Is Michael Ring a member of Sinn Féin? I thought they were the great heroes of the campaign.

Well, I for one don't have a problem with this. Cowley and Ring would definitely have been the two individual politicians with the highest profile on this. Where SF led was in the campaign on the streets.

What streets were these? To quote another person from Ulster, the oriental streets of thought?
I'll admit ye picketed a few petrol stations and took part in marches but some of the latest spin from SF goes beyond support for the Rossport 5 into claiming something close to sole credit. That's just tacky.

Btw, I've started a thread about SF in the SF section. I'm not their biggest fan as you'll see!

When your country is partitioned and a large section of your nation is being bullied and harrassed by Britih terrorists, then you have to support those who oppose that sort of bull************************. Any Irishman threatened has the right to fight back and that includes SF.

Stop being so petty and anti National.

Libero, if SF weren't leading the street protests, who was?
