I have to correct myself.

Gerry Adams stated that the murder of R.Connolly(sp?) was not a crime, in other words the IRA do not commit crimes, and people buy into that.

Should be Jean McConville, SF chairman McLaughlin also asserts that her killing was not a criminal act.

Taken from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/4186887.stm

"The party chairman said the killing of Jean McConville - one of the Disappeared - was not a criminal act. "

Also "The Sinn Fein member also agreed with a remark that the IRA was "the only legitimate government of Ireland".

Mrs McConville, from west Belfast, was abducted and murdered by the IRA after she went to the aid of a fatally wounded British soldier outside her front door in 1972.

The 37-year-old was one of the nine so-called Disappeared people who were murdered by the IRA and secretly buried during the 1970s.

The mother-of-10's remains were found at Shelling Hill beach in County Louth in the Irish Republic in August 2003.

So SF?IRA murder people but that's not crimminal,accepting that they are robbing banks does not take too much of a leap.

Is some accountability too much to ask for?
