British government accused of supplying loyalists with arms during the Troubles

@@@@seanomelb | Oct 18, 2012, 06:41 PM EDT If the Irish government gave arms to PIRA they failed by not giving them enough.>>>>>>>>>>YOU COME ACROSS AS A VERY BITTER MAN ON HERE ... IM JUST GLAD THAT WE NOW HAVE PEACE IN IRELAND AND WE THE IRISH VOTED IN OUR GOOD FRIDAY AGREEMENT .. THAT WAS SUCH A REAL KICK IN THE ASS TO THE TROUBLE MAKERS WHO KILLED AND MURDERED INNOCENT PEOPLE OVER THE YEARS...SHAME ON YOU .. BUT REMEMBER THIS .. GOOD ALWAYS CONQUERS EVIL NO MATTER HOW BIG YOUR EGOS AND HATE FILLED LIVES WERE ..........WE NOW HAVE PEACE IN IRELAND AND WE THE REAL IRISH PEOPLE ARE HAPPY WITH THAT !!!

JUST LIKE THE AMERICANS HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF SUPPLYING THE IRA WITH WEAPONS DURING THE TROUBLES......................IM IRISH I LIVE IN IREALND AND BELIEVE ME WE 'REAL IRISH IE WHO WERE BORN AND BRED HERE HAVE IRISH PASSPORTS HAVE REAL ISSUES WITH AMERICANS FOR DOING THAT AND CAUSING TROUBLE IN THE NORTH OF IRELAND FOR YEARS BY FINANCING CERTAIN MINORITY GROUPS .... SHAME ON YOU FOR THAT ..................MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS !!!

Just as you don't know the difference between Lloyds of London and Lloyds Bank, so you won't know why Haughey had to resign...seems you can't join the dots on much this week!!!

Never voted to supply arms or cash to the IRA your Anglo sucking dots are irrelevant.

The funds were voted ‘for the relief of distress in the North’…future Taoiseach Charles Haughey – then Finance Minister – allowed these funds to be used for arms purchase…hence the Arms trial, hence his resignation…all you need to do is join the dots….think you can manage that?

"He said she said" a point of view only. The Dail never voted to supply cash or arms to the IRA. You may twist and turn my words until they come back to bite you.THE DAIL NEVER VOTED TO SUPPLY ARMS OR CASH TO THE IRA(mores the pity)

Seano, Your inane ‘chuckle’ is a wee bit premature…according ‘The Transformation of Ireland 1900-2000’… (Diarmaid Ferriter - lecturer in History - DCU) ’Haughey’s decision to permit the use of funds… to purchase guns…WAS NOT at variance with government policy’…so now who's talking crap??

The Dail never voted to supply arms to the IRA Dano,Just a little more crap from you. Chuckle!chuckle!chuckle.

Seano - So you don't see that 'Irish government accused of supplying republicans with arms during the Troubles' is just the same situation in reverse? The fact is that was Gov policy in the late 60's...no problem there, eh?

It's hard enough keeping a straight face reading your posts.I tend to grimace and wince in disbelief at the crap you try to pass off as fact.

Seano - do you manage to keep a straight face when writing this rubbish?? Anyone supplying arms has a vicarious liability for the consequences...

What did you expect ???

Defending the rights of nationalists by arming them is a right. Giving arms to anti-nationalist terrorist by a terrorist state(Britain)is not. The usual Dano defending his Brit policies.

Usual double-speak from our armchair republicans…Curtis ignoring the evidence in the 1970 Arms Trial, Seano complaining that not enough arms were supplied…and the two of them ‘outraged’ about allegations of similar deeds by the Brits…some consistency, please!!

Ulster Defence Association (UDA) - A proud tradition in protecting Ulster from Irish democracy! Demands that Taoiseach Ó Cionnaith should apologise for alleged 26 county administrative collusion in the 1968-'94 Troubles would only be followed up by demands for apologies for 1916/1857/1847/1803/1798/1641 troubles. Why not demand apologies for resisting British racial superiority and the sectarian supremacy of Anglicanism. And for the timerity of rejecting the peculiar privilege of colonialism which isn't offerded to everyone. Ms Foster need to get with the frackin' programme, that there are no symptoms without a disease. And no diseases without a cure. No one is squeaky clean in this conflict.
