The individuals involved in the actual abduction of Mrs.McConville and her murder are not currently sitting in government, just one who is now seated within the government of a different jurisdiction.

As for those currently holding governmental positions in the North of Ireland, they are tokens,clean skins as we call them. The real pull within Sinn Fein takes place in the back rooms of Stormont, they can't roll these guys out to the front benches, they carry luggage containing way too many historical rattling skeletons, Unionists would never sit in the same room as them and the press would have a field day.

Two senior members of Sinn Fein based at Stormont have within the past few weeks taken a case of unfair dismissal against the party, I do hope it reaches the courts, the water from that laundry wash will expose a few party members for who they really are.

I have no doubt a sizable out of court financial settlement will be offered with a "keep it shut" clause.I could write a book on them.

Great site by the way.
