Lives will continue to be lost while people insist on living a lie. And no amount of counter revolutionary revisionism will cure that malaise. Conspicuously wooden self-righteous indigination by politicos butters no parsnips. And no amount of tawdry boltholing will set[h] the people free. This was criminal NOT political, an inconvenient truth to those who can't see the wood for the trees.

All the gardai in Ireland are related to each other. They're known as the clan O'Garda.

Such terrible journalism seriously do you ever fact check?? Detective Garda Donghoe was not the 1st Garda to die on duty since 1996 he is the 4 th Garda to die since 1996
Andrew ‘Andy’ Callanan: Sergeant Callanan was on duty at Tallaght Station in the early hours of July 21, 1999 when a man poured petrol over himself while standing in the entrance hall. Callanan tried to intervene and the man poured petrol over him before igniting it. Callanan sustained fatal injuries.
Michael Padden and Tony Tighe: Gardaí Padden and Tighe were on duty in Donnybrook when they were alerted to a robbery in Dalkey. They stationed their patrol car at a junction on the Stillorgan dual carriageway intending to intercept the getaway car, and hoping to stop other drivers from driving into its path. The getaway car struck their patrol car and caused fatal injuries to both.
FACT you guys seriously need to fact check!
rest in peace Garda donoghe images of your funeral procession will be forever itched in my mind. Your funeral showed you were greatly loved and admired by your family and colleges rest easy sir!

thetint. She only confirmed
some of the detail in her
interview after scrupulous journalists couldn`t hold their water. What she did disclose was already out there and no one including Adams could have been tried, never mind convicted on her word alone. Unlike Adams and Mc Guinness who have openly called on Irish people to pass information to the brits that will result in imprisonment or even death to Republicans at the hands of their new found allies. Who`s the Touts ? Please reply as its a subject not lacking in material people may not be aware of.

Auderybolton, your comments about Gerry Adams,TD and President of Sinn Fein, are despicable. Adams is quite the opposite, LOVED, by his constituents in Louth/West Meath. You apparently have no idea what you are speaking of! Adams topped the Louth poll with 15,072 or 217% of the First preference vote.
