Enda Kenny is an agent of the european union and mandates their future for Ireland. Anyone who is accepting to that notion is either not Irish or is a traitor to her. So you all keep rolling your little ball of hate about left wing republicans but keep in mind that if this country doesnt go through some serious changes soon you might have to back those words up out on the street.

Anglo. His back was to the wall and this was his usual response. He couldn`t even hit Adams with the reality that his party is doing the same in the North

Kenny sounds More and More like a Parliamentarian everyday ! Can’t wait to see him marching Up and Down the High Road in his Sectarian Bourgeois, Kilt: Banging on his Drum about Terrorists, Socialists, and Revolutionaries ~

This article remibnds me of an other incident that occurred in the Dáil on 22 October, 1971. During a debate on the North that day, Stormount Republican Labour M.P Paddy Kennedy attempted to speak "As an elected representative from Belfast, may I represent my people may I represnt my people? May I have the right to speak?". But he was rudely ejected on orders from the Leas Ceann Comhairle. This was about 3½ months before Derry's Bloody Sunday. Had Paddy Kennedy been heard by Dáil T.D.s that day, he may have set a peace process in motion and saved thousands of lives.

Adams and Mc Guinness under surveillance for 30 years never even arrested on the word of several supergrass`s whilst the IRA in Derry and Belfast was all but wiped out by the same. Kenny the scoundral is dangling the troubles as a source of deflection only because he can`t bring up the fact that Gerrys party are doing exactly the same to the people in the North as 2 wrongs don`t make a right. Sf failed to use their veto on the new social welfare reform by means of cross community vote, with Alex Maskey saying they weren`t in politics to ride rough shot over other partys wish`s. Yet seen fit to use the same veto weeks later on a pension reform. Just as well the political setup in the North doesn`t cater for such things as no confidence votes.

As much as anyone likes to admit it, there are many things they have on each other and as agreed can not speak of. The agreement being made before Jean Mc Conville was part of it. Shall we disbelieve everyone else ? people with the Republican credentials like the late Brendan Hughs. How many lies have the Dark or other relevant Republicans been caught out on. Where as Gerry has left a trail of lies, so long he can`t remember the half of them.

Kenny's dangling the Troubles again to take our eyes off the fact that the government is telling us that they didn't pay the Promissory Note last March, but they did – they got a loan from NAMA, and they paid it. Sorry Taoiseach, we're not distracted by the puppet show.

Enda Kenny persists with these lies but offers no proof. Adams – under surveillance by the security services in both states for 30 years – has never been arrested or even questioned about this matter. Why does not Enda go to the police with the evidence he has?

The chamber temporarily suspended by Ceann Comhairle Barrett is NOT the Irish Parliament, merely the Dáil of the Southedrn Irish state. The murder of Jean MCConville, mother of 8, in Dec. of '72 was a major atrocity. Dolores Price, now a foe of Adams, claims that he gave the order that Jean be put to death. Does Taoiseach Kenny have info to justify his suspicion of Adams' involvement. Is Kenny's concern for the McConville family sincere, or he is merely using it as an excuse for blaming Adams for opposing his budget? The Taioseach probably knows of Joan Connelly, mother of 9, who was shot dead in Ballymurphy by British soldiers on the 2nd weekend of August, 1971. But he doesn't show any concern about her murder.
