Sinn Féin MP Martin McGuinness has rubbished claims by a number of tabloid newspapers that he is a high-level British spy.
The claims were made on Sunday, but Mr McGuinness said today that he was certain no evidence would ever be produced to support the allegations.
He also accused the Democratic Unionist Party of being in league with the British spy-handler who was allegedly the source of the allegation.
"This is a dirty trick manufactured and constructed by people within the DUP who are now hooked up to others hostile to the [peace] process," he said
This is strange...
I'll believe it when proven.
If he's a spy.. that would mean I would have to start liking him... disturbing prospect!!
Odd place for a supporter of communist terrorists.
Correction:
1) A vote for Mr. Ahern is a vote for the free market, low tax policies that produced Irish prosperity; for the preservation of Eire as a pro-life, pro-family nation; and for furtherance of the dream of Irish unity.
Bertie Ahern is a Corporatist. He is anti-life and anti-family.
2) Your comment regarding those persons sympathetic to the Sinn Fein party are uncalled for and undignified. You disgrace you heritage and this board.
Don't you dare speak to someone who actually lives in Ireland!! Anyone who signs up to a conservative website supporting Sinn Fein/IRA are trolls!! Got that?!??!!?
I'm not a disgrace to my heritage - Sinn Fein/IRA are a disgrace to Irish heritage!!!!!!
I disappear from the board for several weeks, only to return and find you are still being attacked for calling a spade a spade. Keep the tag line. Someday the truth will sink in with others.
Yeah, I dunno how they escape the mods!
Thanks :)
I saw red there, I know - just getting tired of this.
Hang in there. A lot of people don't know the facts on the ground.
I'm about to post another article that presents the facts - I found it while searching for this story. ;)
What did the Colombians ever do to Ireland that was so grievous that the IRA deemed it necessary to go to Colombia and teach the FARC new and better ways of blowing up civilians?
And why are members of the IRA those pure fighters for the free market doing on Castro's payroll?
Surely there must be some mistake. Surely the pure hearted IRA is not just another communist terror group!
Good one! :)
I hope you enjoy paying higher taxes and suffering greater market, business and property regulation under an FG/Labor government. Poverty is character building after all. And, besides, by virtue of your increased abortion and divorce rights, everyone will be having so much fun they'll hardly notice the unemployment and collapsing property markets.
FF is committed to the peaceful achievement of Irish unity, a goal that is thankfully closer due in no small measure to Bertie's efforts. For this alone he deserves support from people of goodwill. In addition, he has consistently supported the pro-growth economic policies in Ireland directly responsible for the country's current prosperity. I have no idea what a Corporatist is, but if Bertie is one than perhaps I am as well. Finally, Ahern and FF have been a bulwark against the creeping secularization of Irish culture that, in the absenece of resistance, will inevitably lead to liberalized abortion rights, access to ready divorce and the complete secularization of the schools. With an FG/Labor government, each of these developments will come to pass, to the glee of the EU establishment.
It is possible to support Irish unity without being a supporter of Sinn Fein/IRA. It also is possible to oppose the provos while prefering that half wits refrain from defaming people who may be sympathetic to them with playground epithets. This is a conservative board that is, or should be, dedicated to fair play and decency. Perhaps you didn't get the memo.
I guess what ever it was was bad enough that blowing up one hundred and nineteen people who were attending church was the only civilized response.
Sure, keep those pesky Blueshirts out of government.
The truth is, we don't have a proper conservative political bloc in this country.

Irish unity is not an important isssue, Ahern is helping the secular trend because his own marriage broke down, FF have bowed to every EU demand, and thus will eventually legalise abortion.
A corporatist is someone who supports the economic policies of fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. And you seem to hate those pesky Blueshirts!

There is actually a very fine line between supporting Irish unity and supporting the IRA - did you know that very few Irish people could give a s*** for a united Ireland?
And don't lecture me about defamation - you defamed me by calling me a disgrace, just because I have nothing but contempt for IRA apologists.
Anyone who signs up to conservative site sympathizing with a terrorist group that murdered over 1800 people are trolls, and I say trolls because they won't listen to an actual citizen of the Irish Republic.
I am sick to death of being lectured by Plastic Paddies about my own country!!
True, and a Catholic Church at that - I thought they were up for Catholics?
