Sinn Fein? They have gone away, you know.

I hope Micheal and Enda got value for money with the cheap shots. The stack affair probably has finished any chance of people coming forward with information on historic events.

Yes, it's everyone else that's at fault here. The Shinners are surely very upset at the thoughts of the truth not being uncovered...

That being the case I don't think they'd have facilitated the stack family initially, no?

FG/FF don't give a monkeys about the truth. They certainly had their eyes closed for a long time in relation to the north.

Why do you think that ?

Let's hope S O'Neill does not go the same way as her 17th century ancestor Phelim and take an English knighthood.

It is interesting to have an Ó Neill from Throne running the Shinners and representing the natives in Ulster 400 years or so after the plantation.  Which was really f**king stupid. I wonder how much it has ended up costing England.

Anyone in the know know how this works....does the SF MLAs/Councillors or whatever elect the new leader in the north. I'd say Conor Murphy must be a wee bit miffed.....does he have to bite the tongue and let a woman take the reins to let SF tick another equality box???

He's on UTV now, and it looks like he is biting both his lips. Oh wait..., hang on.

I'd say so ... had expected him to get the nod, but there must be another agenda to putting M. O'Neill into the position.  Good luck to Michelle, no one can replace Martin McGuinness, so no point in trying to.  It will be a long time before another assembly is up and running.
