Connolly's warning - if you simply replace the Union flag over Dublin
Castle with a green flag and leave the existing structures of society

It would lead to a more sophisticated campaign by loyalists, who
would attempt to cripple the Irish economy, attacking the tourism and
agricultural sectors. It is very easy to attack bloodstock and it is

rockets and petrol bombs at the back of the house.

than anyone else.
Martin McGuinness on calls to slow down prisoner releases. Irish
News, Tuesday 26 January.
The Taoiseach has been remarkably less than convincing in rebutting
the allegations made by the developer. He cannot recollect being

That fell short of an outright denial of any knowledge of the cheque.
It is stretching the imagination a bit thin that somebody would not
be definite about such a discussion not taking place.
