Please note - yet another PIRA supporter who has avoided the subject of Jean McConville.

Also note that in one post Divis referred to her as "the informer" Jean McConville - this being the latest PIRA lie regarding this poor woman. Here is what the Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan said with regard to this PIRA claim in July of this year:

Mrs O'Loan said it was not her normal role to confirm or deny the identity of people working as agents for the security services. "However, this situation is unique. Jean McConville left an orphaned family, the youngest of whom were six-year-old boys. The family have suffered extensively over the years, as we all know, and that suffering has only been made worse by allegations that their mother was an informant. As part of our investigation we have looked very extensively at all the intelligence available at the time. There is no evidence that Mrs McConville gave information to the police, the military or the security services".

Also a little insight into what Divis and his neighbours are like, or at least what they were like around Christmas 1972. On the 12th of December Jean McConville was taking a bath when four female and eight male members of the PIRA dragged this woman screaming from her house in full view of her children. They never saw her alive again. Christmas, remember, all this woman's neighbours, maybe even Divis himself among them, turned their backs on these orphaned children. Without help and support Helen, the eldest, a girl of fourteen attempted to look after her brothers and sisters and keep the family together for four months. Finally social services came in and the family was split up amongst foster homes. Merry Christmas indeed - these are the people that Den/Divis/Ard/Big Mick are so proud of.

Must be getting quite crowded down in that little 20ft Container.
