Dissident Republican bomb intended to kill PSNI officer is defused in East Belfast

Poor old Darragh has a history problem.

"Ireland unfree shall never be at peace" thats what the Irish man said.Now we all know you cant have a free state and an occupied state within our country, it is hypocritical and it makes Ireland look bad in the eyes of the world and the United States.Time now to get rid of the free staters and the flag wavers thrash and leave Ireland in peace for the Irish..with the help of the United States of course

Hmmm! Funny old world. I seem to recall a certain oratorical hitman of Italian extraction from Harcourt Street in Dublin being contracted into Ulster c 1912 by the corpulent businessmen of Belfast to subvert an inconvenient piece of legislation duly passed by a government and monarchy to which the yowed allegience. And by force of arms if necessary. How did this equate with democracy?

their

The 'New IRA' and there never ending supply of eastern European chemical experts strike again. This has no connection at all to any countries security service accept those hunting then and those targeted by them. This is what happens when the people leave the country at a rate of 1000 people per week to find greener pastures and better wages elsewhere. You can use your imagination.

We must take the dribblings of fallsnat seriously. Remember he's a ex Brit soldier(terrorist) lecturing the Irish,trying to justify his miserable xistence with his family in a London council flat

Most likely terror state black ops - britain's security services are allowed to run rampant with no accountability under the "unwritten constitution" - lol. The idea that britain would ever show fidelity to the "democratic will" of any people if it militated against its narrow interest is a joke.

the irish always had people willing to subvert the democratic will of the people to attempt murder for a UI based on their perverse sense of self righteouness, no need for Mulder & Scully, this wasn't a British Black Ops just a bunch of self deluded individuals who have never accepted the will of the people in Ireland in determining their own future. Both NI & ROI voted in the GFA for the status quo in Ulster unless the people of NI voted in favour of reunification, they should do us all a favour & emigrate.

As an Irishman "Born here" I love my northern brethern.

More terrible news from NI. Add this to the planned loyalist march on Dublin - a repeat of the love Belfast Dublin riots? A horrible gathering begins in the New Year.

As a Leinster-Irishman married to an Ulster/NI woman from the largest minority tradition there, I care deeply for our currently estranged Ulster/NI first cousins. The PSNI seemed a tad premature in his claim that it was so called "dissident repulicans". Though one empathises with the PSNI being the meat in the sandwich between loyalists and republicans, the working classes of both traditions obviously feel disenfranchised. If it was DRs, it's not helpful to the PP. If it was dissident loyalists, ditto. If it was British military black ops, positively subversive of developing democracy in the gerrymandered statelet. People need to act with integrity, however unfamiliar.

AS AN IRISHMAN WHO WAS 'BORN HERE WE ALL GET ON GREAT WITH THE ENGLISH, THE WELSH AND THE SCOTTISH.. BUT THE NORTHERN IRISH ARE A 'DIFFERENT LOT' ... THE BLACK SHEEP AND I MEAN THAT ON BOTH SIDES.. MOST OF US ARE SICK TO THE TEETH OF THEM AND THEIR ISSUES... ITS JUST A PITY WE CANT CUT OFF THAT END OF THE COUNTRY AND SEND THEM INTO THE MIDDLES OF THE ATLANTIC ON THEIR OWN .... OR BETTER STILL SEND THEM TO AMERICAN .. BECAUSE AMERICANS SEEM TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT NIRELAND GOING BY THE COMMENTS ON HERE... AND MOST HAVE PROB NEVER EVEN BEEN TO IRELAND .... .. WHICH MAKES ME LAUGH ... MOST IRISH ARE SICK TO THE TEETH OF N.IRELAND..
