All the people left behind, the dead eyes, the worn out faces..........shocking stuff........

[Tubberman]

My God, that story of Charlie Armstrong is absolutely shocking and so cruel and devestating and unfair...

[Tony Baloney]

Exceptionally hard to believe that Marty and Gerry know nothing.

[T Fearon]

Sadly only some of hundreds of harrowing tales.Remember reading a few months ago about two women,sisters,orphaned by the La Mon firebomb,as primary schoolchildren.Raised by other family members they grew up,got educated in England,married,and both said they live their lives to honour their deceased parents,bear no bitterness as it would only destroy them.The only thing they can't and won't do and that is visit La Mon,the site of their parents death.Would bring tears to a stone.

No if's or buts - doing that to a mother of so many children was totally disgusting and unforgivable. No matter what her perceived 'crime'.

Killing the victims for whatever reason, real or perceived, was bad enough but in a supposedly Christian country, to withhold the bodies is truly disgusting.

Hard to believe that this stuff went on.

It's crazy.

We should all hang our heads.

Terrible stuff.

I'm confused why we should all hold our heads, unless you mean out of respect.

The scene with Charlie Armstrong's Widow at the graveside was heart breaking, she is  such a dignified woman

[give her dixie]

Very moving show, and well documented by Darragh MacIntyre. The dignity the families have shown for years is breathtaking considering what has happened to their loved ones. I can only hope that those still missing are found and given a dignified burial. May they all rest in peace.
