Would Silling stay in France. He cant register to vote in ROI while living in a foreign country. We can do without this person.

Are some of the people on this site really serious if they think Adams was not in the IRA and that a Marxist party like Sinn Fein could really get into the Irish Government in Ireland? Are they not listening to the Irish people. It's wishful thinking on their part. The party does not have the power and Adams is a minor Marxist politican in ROI with a shady past. He can't admit to being in the IRA because he would be arrested yet he wants Truth and Reconciliatin. The Irish Government is not afraid of Gerry Adams whatever some posters on this site may think but the ordinary citizens are worried what would happen to Ireland if a Marxist party like Sinn Fein got into power. Nor would the American Government like it. At 63, I remember only too well what happened in the North and don't want my children or grandchildren to experience that terror. If the Nationalists and Loyalists can't get along, then they would not get along with us and besides we don't want any part of it. One civil war is enough.

Of course Gerry was in the IRA and he should wear the badge of honour with pride.He dont have to hide that privilege or to prove it to anyone.

Mr. Kenny, Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland and leader of the Fine Gael party should remember that Michael Collins, the effective founder of Fine Gael, was an Irish murdering terrorist in his day. I’d wonder if he feels proud to be leader of Fine Gael today, asking questions like this of Gerry Adams.

The Irish Republican Army, as much as it has been trashed and made out to be rebels and worse, has collectively preserved Irish history. If not for the continuity of their defense against outside forces that would revise history, at every opportunity, I'm afraid the truth of what happened in Ireland over the past hundred's of years would've been lost. I detest violence, though I think people have a right to their own Country, and the defense of it.

Must be a slow news day. Since the Taoiseach has nothing to contribute towards restoring the Irish economy he has gone to the Blue Shirts favorite card, bashing Sinn Fein.

Opinions aren't facts. And Taoiseach Ó Cíonnaith is not an expert witness. What evidence (sic) has he seen or read, and why is it not being presented in a court of law. If supplied by Dept of Justice (sic) (in collaboration with MI6?), trial by media where one is guilty by suspicion is entirely inappropriate. Beliefs are in the realms of religion not politics. He should be less inclined to be led anywhere by anyone. Truth Commission (TC) would need to consider Free State Army atrocities against republicans during 1920s [un]civil war, and I say that as an ex-Irish Army MP NCO. TC would also have to investigatge successive Irish Government's inactivity/passivity during loyalist pogroms of northern Catholic/nationalists in late 60s/early 70s, when many Irish Army personnel were willing to do their defensive duty in a dangerous political vacuum of prevarication. Note current Taoiseach's divide and conquer tactic to partitioning McGuinness and IRA from Adams and Sinn Fein. Citizen Adams would do well to toy with his mobile phone during any attempted interrogation in Dáil Éireann. Remember Taoiseach - the IRA were a symptom of a Carsonian disease called the UVF.

Believe none of what you hear, half of what you read and some of what you see. Members of the IRA took a Vow of Silence, Forever. Period. He's a good IRA man. to the end. forever. Brendan Hughes should have kept his mouth shut and so to McIntyre. Ed Moloney started this whole mess with the tapes. I blame them. up the ra TAL

Is there anyone who doesn't know that Gerry was on the Army council? Could anyone be so naive as to deny that his statements concerning his affiliation are a pack of lies? I think he feels the heat and moved a tad South to protect himself.

Gerry's Sinn Fein party success has them on the run - with his party's success at the polls and the other found wanting politicians at risk - such a scare has even the troika partnership eager to do the divert tact of getting Boston College to turn over interviews to discredit Gerry Adams and his fellows. CNN explored the goings on in service to the caball that runs the troika show. Material in the hands of the murdering colluders is off limits.

@MichaelMcGrath: you say that Adams supports Africans. I say that he supports Muslims as a way to undercut the role of the Catholic Church in Ireland in the name of radical world socialism.

When Ireland needed Sinn Fein at the Table, Gerry Adams - seemed like a real good idea ? But now that the Bourgeois has collected its Globalizationist marbles, Sinn Fein`s growing role as voice of the Polarization, Class War, Left; has become a Long Dark suspicious shadow, in Fine Gael`s reflex grasp, on post Easter Rising Ireland.
