The Irish Assembly plans its own investigative 'police force'

scary,kbg stuff,resist it strongly..

Are you retirng hurt and wounded?

Oh, saddo Seaneen, you have just squandered the last bit of respect I had for you by displaying the paucity and failure of your argument by descending into naked Racism! Just consider your:- " ...convinces me again to accuse you of not being Irish..." and "...you have not denied the allegation..." . Listen to your warped and dangerous racist view,Sean,and weep. You are an insult to Irishmen everywhere; but mainly a disgrace to yourself! Your 'acusation' will never be resolved by me, so don't bother to come knocking again, as the disappointed Towngate is firmly closed against you. Slán!

He was correct in not trusting the brits on home rule you seem to forget the "Curragh mutiny" when Churchill preached sedition and begged the "British officer class" to mutiny(which they did) thus killing the home rule bill.How selective is your memory!!!.Connolly was executed alongside his comrades for the part he played in the "rising".Your twisted pro British view of Irish history convinces me again to accuse you of not been Irish at all.I find it puzzling you have not denied the allegation even though I have made the accusation a number of times.

>>No doubt emboldened by his comfortable residence in Robert Emmets Country House and Estate - with which I am intimately acquainted - he actually thought, that by colluding traitorously with his Governments enemy, Germany, he could actually seize the Country for himself - knowing as a Barrister that the Irish Home Rule Bill was already passed and when Enacted, his chance would be gone! The advice from his cronies and also from his politically opposed James Connolly to 'call it off'. The fact he insisted on Eastertime is the most revealing of all. Pearse was a visionary, a persuasive leader, a racist, a traitor,a facist, a fantasist, and without national or much local - and no attempt to obtain a democratic mandate, he rode alone on his bicycle down the avenue and out the gates of St Enda's to meet his certain death. That took some courage.You have to admire him for that!

Seano: You are one of a few commenters on here that I respect enough to respond directly to, and I enjoy engaging in a bit of banter with you. So it is as a sort of pen-pal that I say we are all allowed to have a 'bee in our bonnet' about something. You know what yours are and I know mine. Allow me to work gently through your comments ..."post pulled again" - please explain this. ~ You mislead yourself by assuming I referred to Organised Facism ala Moseley and Moussoini, etc., when I was referring to the existance of the natural state of fascism contained in the profound human condition. Pearse is obviously a real pet hero of yours and you seem hurt and challenged by any relevation which seems to contradict your cosy notion of him. I do not have a 'M.O' to discredit him - quite the opposite,actually! - and I feel your appreciation of him would be all the greater and healthier if you were realistic about the man himself and what he thought he could achieve if he could just impose his version of a Gael-ic culture on the place.There is plenty of evidence in his writings to suggest that Ireland would be just wonderful if only it would do exactly as he wanted - and no other way! That's fascism! (more...)

post pulled again.Your innappropiate use of "Fasicst" is amusing as Facsism raised it's ugly head years after Pearce's death.Your modus operandi seems to be a smear campaign rather than an honest debate.I have never had the pleasure of an"Irishman"denigrate Pearce with such venom.Your "Irishness" is questionable,as I stated before maybe you're not Irish.Most people recognise pearces committment to a democratic Ireland shame on you towngate. Maybe you should stand under "traitors gate" in Dublin and ponder your peurile remarks(that is if you know where traitors gate is.

There is no irrreverence or hate in my post,Seano. Just a factual observation which seems to have hit a nerve. I expect,like me,you have read every single word Pearse ever wrote and have drawn your own intellectual conclusions free from the romantic delusional inclination to create a patriotic hero where none exists! Remind yourself that Pearse got his guns and was promised gold bullion from Facist Germany and was colluding with them against the democratically elected Government of his own people. No doubt today he would be happy to get some more from North Korea. To see an army in Volunteer Sea-green uniforms goose-stepping over the horizon would have gladdened his heart! If only a few like that had turned up that Easter Monday, something useful might have come of his ill-concieved adventure which only led to so many pointless deaths. Remember,too,he was a Barrister by profession and training and might have revelled in just this kind of inhuman Legislation that the Law Lackeys are proposing!

The irreverence to Pearse is a hate post.Pearse signed the proclamation maybe clowngate should read it and weep.

Towngate pal, I have the perfect place for you-er, North Korea?

Ah, another Police Force. Just when I thought we might get more Ballerinas we get THUGS.

@johnymac60: You need to read up on the financial system leading up to 9/11. Money is the greatest influence to any form of traitor and only traitors are doing harm.

The Bilgegate is open I see.*Spew!!

@LoyalCitizen, true true. Don't forget the time that the Americans painted red circles on airplanes and bombed lovely Pearl Harbor, so they could test their Atom Bomb and steal the Japanese oil. Doh!

Towngate: Please give it a rest already, with your same tired not to mention wrong old drivel.
