When did dolours throw bombs at her fellow countrymen AND COUNTRYWOMEN?? A patriot who stands with Pearse and Tone.
So was Ms Price an Irish patriot?? If you think that trying to bomb your fellow countrymen and women into your way of thinking is still a patriotic act, then indeed she was.
IrelandNorth: One person's alleged 'terrorist' is often another's patriot. And it seems evident, even from a distance, that few Irish seem to surrender anything much quite so easily as you claim. Of course Adams and MdGuiness are old school, but they appreciate and encourage support from their emigrated cousins. So I bless their efforts which really are at least meant for the general overall good. Their methods change with the times, and rightly so. It isn't betrayal or surrender.
IrelandNorth- Grow up son...
IrelandNorth: I'm curious, "as an ex-Irish Army man", how do you feel about the murder, by the Provisional IRA in 1983, of Private Patrick Kelly? Do you condemn it? Did he deserve the Military Star?
Ar dheis Dei go raibh a h'anam! As an ex-Irish Army man, I salute her. Like all northern nationalists/republicans, Delours wasn't lucky enought to have had her freedom won for her by a previous generations of terrorists(?) A privilege young middle-class southerners are too revised and propagandised to appreciate, and so surrender easily.
Rest in peace brave and honest Delours. Phlutie. Which Irish cause do you support ? and perhaps you should at least check dates before taking a broad swipe at Republicans with your big watery brush.
Does anyone know the connection between the late Fred Milton and the deceased?
Joe: Lol....then illuminate me, my friend. Would you please point out any aspects of my post which are incorrect?
Realist you havent a clue and nobody should even react to your crap.
It's interesting, and oft times ventures into the realms of black comedy, to read about terms such as "legal and civil rights", "arrest", "trial", "appeal", "review", "compassionate leave", "Royal pardons", and "release" in connection with a woman (and convicted terrorist) who has openly admitted driving another woman (and mother of 10) from a Provisional IRA kangaroo court to a hole at the side of a road....where she was mercilessly executed and dumped like a dog. None of the legal 'niceties', listed above, were on offer to any of the PIRA's victims and to listen to members and supporters of a criminal terrorist organisation, who did not take prisoners, complain about prisoners' rights is, quite frankly, laughable. Wither Jean McConville's rights?
Occupied6Countybrittroll - “Suffered PTS after being force fed - so nothing to do with the fact she was involved with being involved with a murderous ruthless terrorist organization” She was in the british military/intellgence? @Puffy – how many unarmed civilians did you target as an RUC terrorist you filthy little squatter.
Ms. Price suffered enough in this world. Regardless whose fault, or how I might disagree with her or anyone still living for that matter! I wouldn't wish her troubles on anyone. Puffin, Northern Ireland may be part of the UK for now, but as our own Bob Dylan used to sing, the times they are a'changin'. Handsome(???), I try to proof my own copy before hitting the submit button, but there's no way to edit mistaks found later. Of course some people these days just flat out don't know anything and intend to keep it that way.
Her conscience was coming to the surface & she struggled with it. I commend her for speaking the truth despite pressure to do otherwise.
@maireadinmelb . Good reply to an illinformed statement by someone who compares Devs life to Dolores RIP .Both he and gobdawpaddy do not represent the vast majority of Irish who respect the dead .Their comments are a disgrace on a woman who suffered horrendous abuse and in later years severe illness.Throughout all she stood firm by her convictions even though many Irish Republicans disagreed. However her views have been justified on the GFA implimentation as her sister Marian and Gerry Mc Geough etc are illegally,unjustly imprisoned/interned. Even the Irish Govt Politicians have condemmed Brit Govt actions on this issue. These two clowns wouldnt know of the severe Republican split which this GFA abuse has created. It doesnt mean that anti GFA Republicans want a return to violance. One thing Dolores,s death has united all in her passing,who respect her strong character. @ puffin .Your comment is admirable as some exPolice/UDR have said similar regarding her character of resilience. Not only was the death of Dolores disrespected but deValera,s memory and his fellow volunteers in such a disgraceful manner. A Thiarna den Throcaire ar anam a bhean dtrigitoiri na hEireann agus a bheannachti ar a thaglaigh.
