The great mass of Church of Ireland people are appalled at what has
happened, centred at Drumcree, and their association with it.
Dublin Archdeacon Gordan Linney on the Garvaghy siege.
It is no part of the Agreement. Rather it is an obstacle, deliberately
erected against implementation of what was agreed... Even though we are
under no obligation to do so, we were prepared to make another serious
attempt to resolve the impasse and salvage the Agreement.
Martin Ferris, after Sinn Féin's meeting with Tony Blair in Downing Street
last week.
This force will never gain the trust of the nationalist community and the
sooner they are replaced by an impartial and accountable policing service
the safer the whole community will be.
Belfast Sinn Féin Councillor Alex Maskey on the RUC.
The Common Agricultural Policy has been a disaster for the small farmers of
Ireland. Around 5,000 people are leaving farming annually in Ireland and
the incomes of small farmers are collapsing.
Six-County EU candidate Mitchel McLaughlin canvassing South Armagh last
week.
What would be useful now from Keane over the next few weeks would be some
real truths about the Haughey/O'Malley gang in the 1960s... What about the
missing file in the Department of Justice which has not been seen since the
days when a young Dessie O'Malley was Minister of Justice?... Then what
about the cops who were transferred for back-cheeking the `great man', or
that row in the Russell, or your one the blonde?... Stay tuned. Dallas is
back for four weeks. Except this script is not fantasy.
Ken Whelan on the continuing fall of Charles J. Haughey. Ireland On Sunday.
Perhaps David Trimble should shift his eyes from the Northern Ireland scene
this weekend and cast a cold eye on the fate of Binyamin Netanyahu, who
just went down to one of the most crushing defeats in Israeli political
history.
Niall O'Dowd writing in Ireland On Sunday.
All the signs point to one of the mainstream loyalist organisations.
Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly after recent loyalist attacks on nationalists in
Belfast.
I have a feeling the Irish government are afraid to answer questions about
1976 because it means potentially very damaging revelations about the
government, not just the Gardaí. This case could open up a lot of other
cases. We're only one family crying out for justice, and in a sense we have
been very fortunate... there have been millions spent on tribunals about
money and sex in the Republic, but this will really shake people's faith in
the Gardaí, and will make an overwhelming argument for reopening a number
of cases.
Michael Donegan, nephew of Seamus Ludlow, who was murdered in Dundalk 23
years ago by loyalists.
