Great to hear you again on an Irish Thread Wolfgang. The last time we met there you were totting up the total the PIRA killed in thirty years, which actually fell short of the number your natural born homeland killed in two raids in the North of Ireland in two visits ! Anyway yes there has always been informers within the ranks of the IRA and the Shinners, just as there were some great informers within the British army. That´s war, that´s conflict.

As to your question regarding feelings on the street Wolfgang, yes we regret it, and yes some big names hit the headlines within the last 16 months, regrettable and hard to forgive.

I will be the first to admit that it has hit the shinners on the doorstep. There is not the same impact there was regarding such news twenty years ago.

The shinners appear to most of us as a reborn party, sorry other than that I know little about them.

Hope they get the political process into gear when the D.U.P./ Third Force get off the toilet or crap.

Main thing is the war is over and peace is the order of the day, Oh sorry some catters don´t like to hear that !
