Former Irish International rugby player David Tweed found guilty of child sex abuse

Point being that if someone killed 300 of my fellow countryman, or at one time had had common cause with them I would be very very angry, King should be brought to account,

puffin makes a good point at 05.11pm. puffin could also have, in Christian Unionist fairness, mentioned the huge cover-up by the Unionist-dominated Royal Ulster Constabulary and the British Crown’s secretive MI5 of that child-abusing member of his/her esteemed British family, his/her UK’s Queen’s boy-loving cousin, Lord Mountbatten, notorious for abuse of Indian boys during his 'Regal' time there, being ‘facilitated’ by members of his/her (puffin's) Unionist fraternity in abusing young boys at the Kincora Boys Care Home during the 1970’s. But perhaps puffin is too young to know the history of the facility that the “caring” people, who ran the Home for disenfranchised Protestant boys, afforded to some members of the NI judiciary, RUC members, Unionist politicians and their co-fraternity members apart from Mountbatten. The history can be “googled” for eye-“goggling” info of events in NI Protestant people’s lives during the 1970’s and before, before it was exposed by a few of the boys who suffered their abuse in that “caring home”.

Are you American Irish, or Irish American Irish

Agree with IrelandNorth and Seanomelb. Let’s leave aside that Davy Tweed was a renowned provincial and international rugby player, a politician elected by his community, an Orangeman or member of the Royal Black Preceptory (also known as the Black Institution) and a Catholic and Irish Republican hater… let’s just concentrate on the fact that he is also a member of the rest of society, a husband and father and a convicted drunk-driver. He’s been violent to his 2 wives and his children and now found guilty of numerous incidents of child sexual abuse. That’s normal… for 2% of our Irish Christian and non-Christian community…. as is normal for 2% of all clergymen of most of whatever religion’s community. Ah… Well now, if only we could get rid of this 2%’s “normality” behaviour, then media like Irish Central would have little else to write about as far as I can see from the majority of it's "Most Read" publications.

Quite a few skeletons in that particular cupboard, as a Unionist I have to say, one in particular a childrens home in East Belfast, I still think Peter King has a lot of questions to answer as regards Lockerbie

Slowly the truth will out about Mr .Paisleys troops ! Rather quiet that man for a number of years now about child abuse !!!!!

(a) 6' 5" ex-Irish rugby international. (b) Ulster provincial player. (c) Hardline Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV) Ballymena, north Antrim Councillor. (d) Ex-Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) member who left in protest over it's power-sharing with Sínn Féin (SF) in the devolved Northern Ireland Assembly and Executive (NIA/E). (e) Ex-Orange Order member. (f) Ex-Royal Black Preceptory member. (b) - (f) above somewhat downplated in most northern media particularly and British media more generally, with emphasis on (a) mostly. Claimed to wear Ulster jersey under Irish, so that red hand of Ulster would be closest to his heart rather than the shamrock of Ireland more generally. Shook hands with Her Excellency President Mary Robinson in Landsdowne Road at matches in 1990s. While standing to attention for Amhrán na bhFíann, allegedly hummed God Save the Queen whilst doing so, (a feat of considerable musical dexterity). Estranged from 5'3" ex-wife (and 4 children/2 step)after domestic violence. Sad case overall, but reassuring to know that Ulster unionist ubermenschen are as imperfect as their Munster, Leinster and Connacht untermenschen provincial comparators.

Adams has not been brought before the courts yet so he is still innocent,are you trying to muddy the legal water here,seanomelb due process should take place before you make these assertions,or do you have another agenda

Who would try to condone what this person done,still he was brought to justice and will hopefully pay the price for his disgusting crimes,as a unionist I am proud to be in the part of Ireland that takes a robust stance to this sort of thing,no cover up in this instance,having said that these people are very manipulative,and will get to positions of power in any society,watch out for your children at all times

Yes Seanomelb, sometimes the truth is not important

where are all the Righteous who vilified Adams because his brother was a pedophile. Do Orange councillors get a leave pass??hypocrites
