Dissident IRA attempt to blow up Northern Ireland peace process

Well Watchman you have not learned any lessons from the peace process we just went through. Everything you espouse is exactly that which failed against the Provisional IRA and perpetuated violence on the part of the Unionist, Nationalist and British and Irish governments parts. History is supposed to be a lesson, your methods would have us fall into the exact same pitfall and only create more opportunities for them to recruit and continue their violence, wholly unproductive.

You know with a police chief called Matt Baggott how long was it going to be until someone made it into Batt Maggott

What's the Irish for Plasticpaddy? Plaisteachpadraig, perhaps, or Padraigphlaisteacha. Who knows? Anyway, my point is that there can be no compromise with these douchebags. They need to be rounded up and put away for a very long time. They have no grievance. As irridentist wackos, what they demonstrate is a total, 100 per cent unwillingness to compromise. No one, apart from their lawyers and the courts, should ever have to listen to them on any subject whatsoever. Let's hope the PSNI and the Gardai catch them soon.

Well I guess there are two ways to deal with this group you can eliminate them if you can find them, But this didn't work too well in the past or you can talk to them and see what the problem is, Me thinks this would be a good idea there is obviously a problem.

These people havent been in the IRA since the mid 80's for god sake. Your comment tomgallagher is undeducated and ridiculous. Sinn Fein and the now defunct IRA (did you forget that) have no control whatsoever over this - out of their own house - issue. Please pick up a newspaper and read it before you make silly comments like that. Utterly annoying.

Watchman your position is just as unproductive as theirs. I am a republican, I spell my name in Irish, I am very proud of my heritage and the republican war waged in the last sentury. these dissidents represent a minority within the republican community. to tarnish all of us as you do is unfair and not warranted. This is a troubling time for the North and wanton criticism against dissidents is not the answer, the addressing of their concerns and efforts at dialogue - as in the past- are the way forward.Not hate from all sides which you are a part of.

Thanks Watchman, I needed a chuckle.

The IRA and Sinn Fein ought to police their own house and straighten these mutts out.

I'm waiting for the roars of approval for the wacko Republicans that usually accompany such a story. What's keeping you, lads? After all, didn't the filthy English keep us down for 800 years? And don't forget to spell your names in Irish.
