Assassinated Real IRA thug and womanizer leaves dozens of women in mourning

No mention of the two Sligo men who were with him-both with 32 CSM connections ? He was stopped leaving Sligo a few hours earlier by the gardai at a checkpoint in Carrick on Shannon after visiting a well known criminal drug dealer in Sligo. Check the facts guys --its not rocket science !!

Across the blogosphere there appears to be a strange phenomena of anything remotely Irish even in the most tenuous tangibility being submerged in a wave of hysterical pro-Brit vitriol and "free state, bow to the Queen in sorrow" kind of breast thumping and I'm beginning to wonder what these people are trying to achieve. Any article on Irish News sites is bombarded by an orchestrated network of faux Irish/pro-Brit/monarchy irrelevance as if Churchill didn't gas the Kurds and as if Thatcher wasn't an apologiser for apartheid and a supporter of all the fascist junta's and militia's that the Americans are at war with today (with atoken but pitiful contribution from the Brits). Look across the web, you don't see the Irish frantically panting to get to every article about the British army, British crime pages or Britih News in an attempt to berate their unsustainable debt margins, failed economic policies or to gloat about how they got the pebble throwing teenage rioters in Basra opened a can of whoopass on their millions of millions of pounds superior in technology army that was sent packing by the local militia who pleaded with the Americans to send the clowns home so they could let the real men have a go. No, you don't. But seeing as their is no end of these poisonous posters on Irish sites (usually with negligible and tenuous at best affection for the Irish)it won't hurt for you to be on the wrong end of a few home truths for a change. What's good for the goose and all that. Or as that another famous British victory against the melon chuckers of some long forgotten African outpost or something? Not sure, but am certain Walter Mitty will fill the blanks. Cheers.

pilib04 fair point

Dara Kelly, PLEASE. Why not just run an article from the Enquirer for Enquiring minds? This trash is despicable. The guy is dead and so is your journalistic reputation. You should be concerned about the drug cartel that killed him! As should the Justice Minister!

Yes Seano old "wounded on his knees" and audrey bolt head are two of those fanatical brit/free state-let losers that espouse their nazi like bile on here.Ole ole ole ole- ole ole, to those two clowns.Losers.

AS a past member of the Irish naval reserve I find idiot fuc#ed in the head wounded WoundedKnee the most objectionable reprobate I have read on this site. You know absolutely nothing moron.BTW Ryan was a well known anti drug activist even if his methods were suspect,but then we only have the reports from a biased press system to analyze.

audreybolton I swear you talk so much like Dan O longshanks another brit apologist poster always mouthing on here on this Irish web page.You seem to be trying desperately to promote your failed welfare debt ridden free state with your fanatical rantings. Your capt hero antics would make me assume that you may have been one of those many losers in your free statelet that sat there singing ole ole ole while your team were getting hammered 4-0 in the world cup finals.This loser like mentality could only be attributed to someone like you and your free state friends that exist in this state-let and one that you are not very proud of. Losers.

I have not gone away you know. It's interesting the number of Provos on this site. Says a a lot about them really. An Ireland ruled by them would be unthinkable unless its their view of Ireland. They can't even agree among themselves. The Irish people are too sensible which is why Martin McGuinness never became President. These people live in la la land and constantly harp on "the past". Get over it lads! Its not going to happen!

Rest in peace Alan. It is very sad that any true Republicans who don`t tow the SF party line are branded as Alan is in this article. We ex provies know just how it works, as we ourselves believed all the slander dished out from our leadership about other Republican non pira combatants. Shame on us for ever believing their word, on that and other subjects.

Shuvonn, I'm an Irish citizen, I have every right to comment on Irish affairs, in particular the grotesque waste of money that is embodied in the "Irish Army". Now why do YOU waste our time with your posts here?

wounded ego I wonder why you bother to read and post on an IRISH Web site when you appear to hate Ireland and Irish people so much? Lorcank it's not like audrey was on the Bin Laden raid and is breaching any kind of contract she may have signed by writing a novel about it :-)

Audry. Army law also forbids that you boast about you being an army member on a public forum just to try to intimidate who you are speaking to. Real name or not. I copy and pasted your comment and you said that YOU had lived through the troubles. Walter Mitty lives on!

Of course I don't use my real name. Army law forbids it. Relatives of mine lived "through the troubles in the North" and growing up our family visited them often and worried for them living there. The Irish Army does not "go home for lunch" especially when serving abroad. The State needs an army to protect it from idiots such as yourselves and we make no apologies for that. End of discussion.

Woundedknee I was thinking the same myself because looking back over her comments she seems to contradict herself often. Plus, any serving army member would know not to use your name and post you're in the army on a public forum, and deffo not to post that your brother is special branch. Serious security breach in itself there!

Maybe she's just lying, lorcank. That's the likeliest explanation. I would expect nothing else from some time server in the lazy bloated "Irish Army", the Army that goes home for lunch.
