Pearse Macauley receives 8 years for stabbing his wife (seperated) 17 times in front of their two young children and at one stage telling them to say goodbye to her. What a wonderful specimen of provo scum , thought so highly of by the current Sinn Fein leadership that he was collected in person by Martin Ferris on his release from being jailed for shooting Garda Jerry McCabe.

It really is astonishing that around 20 of Ferris and his ilk will be elected to Dail Eireann in the next General Election. Fine Gael obviously don't care as the more seats SF get the less FF are likely to get but why are Labour / FF not all over them every day of the week.

edit: I got called away while typing up post and a few got in before me.

Openly ask the missus if she is ready for babies no.3 and 4 yet. to make em feel uncomfortablr (ask often) . If this backfires and she says 'yes' , I really don't know what to say for the best.

Yep and the avaricious purveyors of such weapons rub their hands in glee.

Don't let kayroo see this.

Ah Come on now we don't know for a fact that the Irish bar are complicit in covering the tracks of dodgy arms the way their London based colleagues are

Santa just returned from a mission to Smyths.

Truly amazing the amount of shite you can get for very little these days. We were well ridden by having our toys made by white European adults instead of Chinese children.

I can't understand the owners of Bamba on Jervis Street. Was in Smyths on Monday scouting out Christmas presents at 5:45. Smyths now open until 10pm until Christmas, and packed at the hour I went in. Bamba all closed up. Always puzzled me why they don't bother matching Smyths opening hours.

Actually opening hours of places have regularly been a source of confusion for me, such as cafes which do food closing at 5pm.

Were they short of bombs in Syria that the UK can solve some logistic issue?

if one wants booty, one must take part in the plunder.

This seems like a massive step in the wrong direction to me

Seems standard to me.

Odds on London being bombed and shot up before the Summer?

Standard in it's stupid inevitability.
If only we'd of thought of carpet bombing the middle east years ago. It's sure to have a positive outcome

I don't think anyone said that Nic.

They campaigned long and hard for this man to be released. All the top Shinners visited him in prison. Martin Ferris met him at the gates when he was released. He was feted on the platform at the Ard Fheis. And now he's revealed for what he always was - a common thug of the worst sort.

Shinners should reflect on their eulogising of McAuley and his ilk. Heroes my ass.

Oscar back in the bin.

We're staying in a hotel called les jardins du morais on rue amelot.

My French is a bit rusty, to say the least. Bateau mouche translates in my head as moustache stick, so I'll make sure to pick up one of those.

Have a look on google maps - you're about ten minutes walk down to the Seine (use Notre Dame as your start point) - walk from there to Eiffel tower assuming few stops would take 1 1/2 to 2 hours - if you go one side you'll see the Hotel de Ville, the Jardin Des Tuileries, the Louvre, Elysee Palace etc..., go the other and you'll see the great job they made of making the banks of the Seine into a miles long people park, various arty type installations, the left bank itself, and Saint Chapelle.

Assuming you stop/slow to see things, have coffees, lunch etc... - and that you're only there for a weekend, then most likely you'll only get one side seen on one day and one side on the other.

Point being, buying a metro pass is probably a waste when only there for two days. If flying into CDeG, bus to city (30 miles, 17 or 19 euro per adult) is best option, takes 40 mins or so. One metro ticket will take you to Place de Republic (top of road you're staying), if you do the main tourist type things over the two days, you won't need another metro pass except to get back to the bus to go to the Airport.

It's a fab city though, (was there in late September when it was still 18 degrees and sunny). Enjoy.

Not exactly what I was implying, I am sure there are plenty of them that have gone back to normal lives now that they are not required to blow people up anymore. The problem with criminal organisations ran on a strict code of silence is that we know very little about those who are involved in them unless they speak publicly about it or some of their victims are brave enough to speak publicly about them. To find out that someone who killed a Garda while on a sanctioned operation of robbery is a lowlife is not in itself surprising , nor will the silence from SF about it be.

The fact that Adams ( who speaks so highly of the brave volunteers) sees it as politically advantageous not to admit that he was chief of staff can only be viewed as him wanting to be able to distance himself from stories like these when they come out.

It is not that long ago since they held large parts of communities throughout Ireland in fear of speaking out against them. A charge of murder could not be brought against Macauley due to witness intimidation and more recently a van used for canvassing for a Dublin SF TD was found to have Garda uniforms , balaclavas and baseball bats in it when searched by Gardai.

The other point of my post was how bad the other parties are at capitalising on stories like this but then again when you have an audience that dont want to listen to them there is probably not much point.

[careca]

Anyone know is there a charity in Dublin that collects food from restaurants at close of business?

Event on next week where I'd imagine there will be a load of food left over, hate to see if thrown out.

Press puts it out, the damage is done and those who are interested take note. You bring it into the Dail or party makes a statement and you will get stuck in a shouting match with no real upside.

Best case is you make a point that has already been made and get out clean yourself but without damaging Sinn Fein further. On the down side you get into a mud slinging match, get accused of stirring it up and allow the story to be deflected as an attack on a Party that the establish parties cant deal with etc etc.

Best to just let the press (and the Gardas) get down in the mud and dig while you sit up on high keeping your shoes clean lording it over them with just the odd sly dig.

Hilary Benn's speech was powerful, Daddy would have been proud of the speech but he would have been voting with Corbyn.
Its easy to agree with him in his rhetoric about the motives of the Jihadists and his summoning up the ghosts of Franco, Mussolini and Hitler but there was little on how the mechanics of bombing is going to work to break them.
I just can't get past the fact that months ago Cameron was 13 votes short of sending bombers in to support the guys he is now bombing.

The Syria/ISIL situation is a Fuck up with no easy (bombing) solution.

Without adding British and French into equation I think this is situation so far. Is it?

My head is sore.............


Assad is facing a rebellion and trying to crush it with help of Iran, Russia and Hezbollah.

USA, Turkey and most of other Arab nations want rid of Assad and been training and arming the rebels but one of the insurgent groups is the Islamic State who everyone hates including other rebels.

Russia is bombing IS and other rebel groups who are funded by Arabia and Qatar who are rivals of Iran.

Turkey want Assad gone but not bombing him but are bombing IS and the Kurds who are enemies of Assad and Turkey.

Kurds are backed by Americans who are Allies of Turkey

just wait until the next time FG are facing tough questions and Mcauley's ex-wife will be shamelessly used as a political football.

And not one FG TD will speak of the appallingly short sentence he got.

Turkey are backing Isis just this week journalists there exposed aid trucks full of weapons going into Syria the turkish prime minister has accused them of treason.

Europes hames of a response give them 3billion euro fast track them for eu membership-they should never be allowed near us to be honest.
They helped create the problem backing isis so Europe rewards them with money and possible eu membership.
The eu really is leaderless its disheartening.

US and most of the west backed ISIS also originally in the hope of ousting Assad from Syria. They knew ISIS would fill that vacuum and were already talking about it in 2012.

most of the West is allegedly also still buying oil from ISIS at cut rate prices, and this is their main source of funding.

What exactly is FG's responsibility for the sentence he got?

How does their responsibility as a government charged with appointing judges compare with having senior party figures laud a known psychopathic murderer of an ordinary Gardai in the course of a crime being committed for no political purpose merely personal greed and satisfaction?

Depends on the type of loan account you have. Anything in the T&Cs for that account online that says you can do that? Maybe bite the bullet on the bonus thats coming up (i guess you've a Feb bonus) and dump it into the loan account would be the best option.

Not much T&C info available online, I guess I will have to take a look for some more info at home.

If this was a poker game i'd know the only thing to do is quit and come back tomorrow, but I've got to stay and do stuff for the rest of the day.

Not FG fault but it really seems strange that he wasn't on some sort of a good behavior bond where by any association with para or criminal organisations and\or being convicted of a serious crime and he is right back into jail for the rest of the time for killing the Garda and whatever else on top.
