Judge orders Boston College to hand over IRA secret tapes

BTW Ciara last week you lived in Tallaght,going up market?

Maybe you should live closer to that monument of british torture and terror,inside maybe and you may grasp a little bit of Irish pride and pay homage to men executed there,they gave you their lives so you can enjoy your Irish freedom. "Lest WE Forget" With a hide like yours you could live with the crocodiles. You and your friends are oxygen thieves who take for granted sacrifices made on your behalf by others.Dubliner and proud of it.

Eh Sean, like most of my confident Irish friends, we have no issues calling ourselves Paddys. We are quite comfortable in our own skins. I live in Kilmainham, right beside the Gaol so no , I do not live anywhere near the UK. Are you missing home? Feeling bitter and resentful that you had to leave? Aww! The more people with your attitude who leave here, the better for the rest of us.

You love referring to the Irish as Paddy's, is it your British obsequious nature that's the problem? Ciaradexy. You're Anglophile "Paddy" and probably live there.

Im neither an apologist for British nor Irish murderers. I do however feel that people need to grow up and move on. yes we have a shared history which is negative but we also have a shared present which is positive and reconciliatory. The Paddys and the Brits have more in common than we or the Brits have with any other nation. If the people of Northern Ireland want to unite with the Republic, stay with the UK or be a sovereign nation then thats up to them. I dont live there so it should not be up to people who do not live there. There was a recent poll undertaken in the North and the majority polled were happy to stay as they were. The future of Northern Ireland belongs to the people of Northern Ireland not to you or me.

The apologists for british murderers are alive and well I notice

It now seems that Boston College has opted not to challenge the judge's ruling and the tapes etc. will be handed over tomorrow. A happy ending after all.

Time to grow up and stop protecting terrorists murderers folks. Dry your eyes and hand them over. Her Majesty's Government would like to thank you for taking care of them so well. Now run along back to your Boston bar stools and sing us all a song about how Oliver Cromwell burned your granny's thatched cottage....lol.

Teh code of OMERTA reigns in the BC case. Just as it did with the vatican re the endless hidden molestation of children by unmarryable priests

Ciaradexy !! another fence sitter who fails to see the seriousness of what has been done by this right wing judge.His actions are akin to making someones "will" public prior to their demise. A fair and balanced outcome would be no release of documents or releasing all documents,but the british are not interested in airing their dirty linen in public.Ciara you have the temerity to be proud of the demeaning tag "paddy" what a stupid Irish person you are.

Nedwardatlarge-thats my point. Leave it alone, let it be. I am irish born and raised and like my mates and family, we refer to ourselves as Paddys when talking about issues between here and the UK just like my mates in the UK refer to themselves as Brits. Whats your next problem?

ciaradexy. You dont seem to understand, that this is what we want to do ( let it be ) but the release of these tapes will start it all up again. Hence the discussion here. Got it yet? Please do not refer to me as a Paddy. I am Irish

nedwardatlarge- It means leave it in the past and move on! Both sides were at fault, nothing is going to bring back the dead. Its time to reconcile and move on which is what most Paddys and Brits have done. its a small group of people who just cannot move on with their lives!

this stinks,and it stinks that you censor legitimate comment,not for the first time..

The handover of the tapes is a done deal and not the real point of interest here - that will come afterwards. However, Mr Adams need not worry, he was never even a member of the Provisional IRA. I bet some of you people actually believe that too....lol.
