More Dissident-Republican Activity

Well said Joe. Its time the local communities turned on these bastards and started shopping them left right and centre.

Fair play to Brolly the most poignant point was the question he posed "who was the better Irishman the coward under the car planting the bomb or Peadar"

I also think the GAA should be playing a bigger role in advertyising this though it is a difficult one to approach without getting labelled with the old political tags again. I was against the PSNI being able to play gaelic games but the GAA as an organisation endorsed it and i have accepted that decision and moved on. These cowards should really take a look at themselves. But it won't be long before these guys are touted on because society doesn't want people like this about.

No no no - the GAA needs to keep out of politics, full stop.

Whilst i understand your point pints i still think the GAA (as a representative of the community) should be promoting some sort of message that these thugs aren't wanted. But it is a hard one to juggle. It's a damned if you do and damned if you don't scenario

Peadar was taken off the ventilator today.  He has regained conciousness and is now aware of the extent of his injuries.  He has spoken with his wife and family.  Very emotional time for him, but a big step forward towards his recovery.

Very pleased to hear it

Could the GAA or someone organise a charity game to celebrate Peadar's recovery?

Antrim vs Kerry in Casement?

While I'm sure you mean well Denn, that is a no-no. Begs obvous question as to why there weren't charity games for hundreds of other GAA members injured in the Troubles and families of those killed. Can of worms...

[Denn Forever]

Fair enough. 

Living down south don't really understand or appreciaqte how difficult it can be.

Still it wouldn't be a no-no for his club to raise funds for him. As I say you always get someone asks why not do it for some other boy before etc...

I hear on the Beeb that there has been a gun attack this evening on the Crossmaglen Barracks - has S Armagh fallen out with SF or is it a case of a warning that another hole in the wall is about to be hit in the Square..?
