seamus60. Well, perhaps if you had been in Ireland you would know that there was an All-Ireland vote on the Good Friday Agreement in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The date was May 23, 1998. Northern Ireland voted on the Agreement and the Republic of Ireland voted on repealing Article II of the Constitution which claimed the whole of Ireland by the Republic and to put the Irish Constitution in conformity with the Good Friday Agreement. Quite surprised that you would not know this. In Northern Ireland 71.1% voted YES and in the Republic 94.4% voted YES.

Kubs. You must be a young kub. The price sisters are remaining Republican and aspire to the 1916 Proclamation.
I don`t remember all the people of Ireland having a referendum to change its contents. Buit I do see Adams and others reinventing it through distortion from what it was when they were sendind us out to do their dirty work.
At least the price sisters done their leading from the front.

Peace, just for the sake of Peace, is wrong! Gerry always was, and always will be, a Sticky. He always was and will be a politician. Those who support him and his like are fools. Gerry go away to your one of your nice vacation homes and let the real Republicans do what you can never do. Bring a 32 County United Ireland.

Winston Churchill sanctioned the terror bombings of German cities during World War II which killed hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children in Germany. But ofcourse, the civilians blown up in those terror bombings were just "colateral damage" of regular War as opposed to victims of IRA "terrorism". Do you see the distinction?

Adams was involved in a war against the English so what if he ordered the bombing it's over. If the English are looking for reasons to charge Adams with offenses committed before the GFA then they should arrest the British dirty tricks unit and their orange surrogates for murder committed before the GFA. I know he was an IRA operative so what!!

Woodman: What you say is nonsense. How come McGuinness, Kelly and all the others haven't been prosecuted? They've openly spoken of their militant/military past. I'm not into witch hunts--I think it was perfectly understandable for young Catholic men and women to seek to defend their communities from 1969 on. It's not something to be ashamed of, though that doesn't mean that nothing shameful was ever carried out thereafter. Adams' continued lie only makes him ridiculous in the eyes of many, though at this stage I guess he would look even more ridiculous if he changed his story.

The reason Gerry denies being in the IRA, whether true or not, is because he can still be prosecuted. That is why the Crown is seeking the Boston College tapes. Price is talking whether true or not and turning informer because she is bitter that a relative peace that has resulted in large part from Adams efforts. So who is the hero here? Does she really want Adams prosecuted and what would be the ened result of that?

A look at his biography reveals that Adams was indeed interned, on a prison ship in Belfast Bay. That in itself is nothing, since the British interned just about any young Catholic man who looked crooked at them. Adams was released in the summer of 1972. Guess why? To go to England and take part in the peace talks!

Was Gerry Adams ever kept in internment like so many of the others that were only "suspected" of being members of the IRA? Did anyone else see "In the Name of the Father"?

Ms. Price, while you are taking the time to bash Mr. Adams, perhaps you may make similar efforts to propose to all the world what your war agenda is accomplishing. Since when is it a poor idea to give peace a chance?

Adams is a shifty character. I have never understood why he denies that he was in the IRA. What of it at this stage? All the other top Provos now in politics admit their past and most are proud of it. With a few others, Adams was flown in a British military plane to discuss possible peace terms with the British in 1972. Is he asking us to believe that the British would have flown in a 21 year-old non-member of the IRA to negotiate with then ? Or that the IRA would have included in their negotiating team a 21 year-old non-member? Why does Adams keep up the charade? Does Mandela claim that he was never a member of the ANC?
