    Interesting article, though unsubstantiated.

    Sure what would you, a Green Party voter care about that analysis?

    Joe O'Neill's comments are accurate.
    "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."

    Does O'Bradaigh refer to any of this in his recent biography?

    Would O'Neill be the guy who runs what passes for a pub in Bundoran ? Any relation to the ubiquituous P. ?

    Ruairí Ó Brádaigh doesn't refer to anything in the recent biography on his life - that is the nature of a biography. It was written by Prof. Robert W. White, and as such is a biography and not an autobiography.
