'given the shocking and appalling culture of collusion and illegality' within the RUC, 'one would wonder what other unacceptable practices remain hidden from the public'.

Why is this in the NI forum? The easter rising happened in Dublin.

Do you not know that Pearse and co were all from West Belfast and that the rising actually took place outside the Guild Hall in Derry. It was a brutal propaganda act that led to the now wide spread belief that there actually was a rising in Dublin.
In fact in his book The Forgotten six Gerry Adams explains how he led the rising in the 6 counties actually liberating them, but Republican dissidents fooled the people into believing that it all took place in Dublin with Pearse, Connolly and others actually leading the rising. Martin/J118 has stated that this is true!!
The greatest way to live with honour in this world is to be what we pretend to be.
