Joe Brolly

Correct, a statement saying something along the lines of them being in a difficult situation but apologising that Peadar felt he was ostracised and that they were going to take steps to ensure no repetition.

No, there should be no more statements. Another statement will be admission that the first one wasn't good enough. It'll also be used to say that they are only doing it due to the pressure from outside and they don't really believe it. 'if they believed that they would have said it years ago' etc. It will also only prolong things.
No statement will be good enough if Brolly does not want it to be. It's not possible to write a statement that will fix this.
Not only did Brolly force the first statement, his next article shows that he is the one that decides if any statement is good enough.

If the club wish they could contact Peadar and see about repairing the bridge. Bypass Brolly and the media. I see no other way of addressing this.

Totally agree, approach him in confidence and sort it out. No need to feed that nutjobs ego anymore, he'll have moved on to new prey soon enough.

Has there been any word from heffron? Surely he isn't happy about the publicity that this has created and I'm sure his family aren't happy with the bad press that Creggan have received.

I see Francie Brolly in the paper today going against SF and Gerry Adams....you think he's just trying to take abit of heat off Joe?

[Wildweasel74]

Just cause his father supported Sinn Fein doesn't necessarily mean he does

Doubt it, he and Brolly's mum are pretty outspoken about being pro-life.

I wonder can Joe interview the Mentioned PSNI GAA team trainer Mr Tucker and ask why he mentally tortured the family's of the young men who where shot dead in the Clonoe CHAPEL car park in 1992 one of them a playing member of my own club....

Tucker? Remember that name. Based in Dungannon he was totally detested. His name always cropped up.

hardly, he disagreed with an abortion stance and stated Gerry was entitled to his view on it. As the boul DT would say, fake news.

He is part of the reason why the PSNI or their Gaa team will never be excepted in East Tyrone Clubs, along with the Legacy cases hanging over Families of murder victims some going back 40 years.....

I suppose something we can learn from all this is 'never' is often said too soon.

And the correct spelling of ACCEPTED.

Oddly both work.

Your prob right in the immediate future anyway.....

While I certainly would condemn the attack on Peader Heffnan or any other police officer, I fail to see this wonderful newly reformed PSNI. For example check Page 1 of today's Irish News were PSNI indicate they are set to appeal yesterday's judgement that to order police to complete investigation into dozens of murders carried out by the Glenanne Gang. So many examples in recent years looks like same ole police... baby sitting flag protests etc..
