Well Mow Mowlam (former UK Secretary for N. Ireland) put the cat amomng the political pigeons when asked on the Late Late Show if she thought the IRA was responsible . She said she didn't know. When asked if she personally believed that the IRA did it she said "I believe nothing without evidence".

That should be the response of Bertie Ahern and Tony Blair and all reasonable people. No accusations without evidence. IT is an acute embarrassment to the so-called "intelligence", who now claim that the raid was planned six months in advance and that Gerry Adams knew all about it. A good theory for poiticians who are scarec of the progress of Sinn Fein in elections North and south.

I agree with those who say -it would make a good movie. They did a reconstruction on TV Prime Time in collaberation with the Police. It was really hilarious and a reflection both on the bank security system and the police "intelligence".

Can you imagine any night Security staff at any bank not raising an eyebrow - when a Bank Manager arrives in after midnight and begins pushing out trolleys of "Rubbish" - and loading it on to a lorry - not once but twice ?? Did any of you ever see a Bank Manager push anything ?? And even after the job was done - no questions were asked by Security staff on duty who witnessed the dedicated Bank Manager wirking his but off with Rubbish in the small hours of the morning !!. It was a passer-by who became suspicious and called the Police - who arrived after two hours.

Yes - it woiukld make a good moview - with John Cleese as the Bank Manager and Rowan Atkinson as the Security man on duty.

Aw, yes. It had to be the IRA !! Lig dom.
