No she didn't Keith - you first misinterpred what she said, now you are just making it up.
I examined in some detail another invention of yours yesterday - that of Prof Richardson.
The Prof. certainly did attend a convent school in Ireland where she was taught to respect Irish Republican history.
She later attended a Protestent College (Trinity) where she was taught the other side of the argument (not both sides) - she describes both influences as "two diametically opposed views.
She made her choice on consideration of those views - the current violence that was taking place at the time being a deciding factor.
However - she was not conned into thinking about joining the IRA because of her Catholic "brainwashing" as you invented.
She said she was incensed when she read about The Bloody Sunday Massacre and intended to go to Newry to join the protests there - she was prevented from doing so by her mother, who locked her in her room.
Her nearest contact with and only consideration of joining the I.R.A, was during her time in Protestant Trinity when she was invited to join the Republican Clubs there - she didn't, but she attended meetings.
Your "brainwash thing was as much invented as was your Kineally claims.
"I never have said that, and it is a lie to say that I have."
You have refused to specify which hatred was brainwashed into the Irish children, so none exists - simple as that.
You have now suggested - not identified that some must (not does) exist.
You started out saying that hatred of Britain has been passed on through generations of brainwashing - that as far as I'm concerned, is a complete U-turn.
Take care on those roads now!
