    If you had of listened to the interview with one of the sisters, she denied that there was such an offer. It was the media that put the spin about what you are implying.

    The IRA held their court. That court is reconised by all their members. Now I will say again for them to try and make people become informers that is against all that republicans believe in. It is this that I am talking about. I have said before that I know the Mc Cartneys need Justise for their brother. But republicans being made to become informers is not the answer.

    Well I remember seeing a interview with members of the Mc Cartney family were they stated that they didn't want the IRA to deal with those responsible.

    So in my opinion there are two options, either the IRA deals with them as I believe the should have, regardless of the Mc Cartney families views.
    Or the IRA disowns the people involved as they have done and refuse to protect them, as they have done.

    Being a Republican, either as a member of the IRA or Sinn Fein dosen't give someone the right to behave as a thug or intimidate people, and it dosen't mean that they can murder someone - even in self defence - in a drunken pub brawl and then expect the Republican Movement to defend them. To think otherwise is a insult to all those Republicans that have went to prison, or died in the name of the Republican Movement and the nationalist community.

    I take it you do not know any of the people that are supposed to be involved in all this. They may be disowned by some people but they are respected by a lot more for what they have done for their communitty. Now I know it is all to easy to pass judgement on matters that you just read about in the paper but there is two sides to every story.

    What intimidating are you talking about.

    who asked the republican movement to defend these people.
    I did not. I did say that they should not make people become informers

    I know it is hard for people to believe that the republican movment could go down the road of making informers out of people. It was hard for me to think they could do this but that is what they are doing.

    but the PSNI only charged two. I think just maybe not everyone has come forward to give a statement.
    Gerard Montgomery was the third man expelled. He acted as a bodyguard for Adams and McGuinness at the funeral of Joe Cahill RIP, director of Provisional IRA terrorism between the 70s and 90s and honorary Life Vice-President of Sinn Fein.

    Montgomery, 34, from the Markets area, is a former bouncer whose physical presence got him the job of armed bodyguard to Adams and the Provisional IRA soldier turned Sinn Fein leader, Martin McGuinness. He is alleged to have been involved in the beating of Mr McCartney and the "clean-up', leaving the scene of the stabbings with two videos from CCTV cameras that had recorded the incident.
    Lord Nelson, are you in the UVF (or one of those groups)?
    Banned temporarily by politics.co.uk (ie this site) so as not to "offend" the Brits during Mrs. Windsor's visit.
