Re: ...
As of now only one party in Ireland seems to be claiming the right to decide who should be executed or not. I think it's fair to say that that should preclude them from holding cabinet seats.
If they don't recognise the Dail, the Gardai, the Army and the other institutions of the state then you'd have to ask why they are so keen to get Dail seats.
I'm delighted to see the mask finally starting to slip. We have all known their attitude to "executions" etc. They have managed to keep those views quit to an extent, i.e, when they canvass you for a vote in Dublin they don't mention that the IRA is the legitimate Army of the state.
But as they get sucked more into the political process it gets harder for them to separate these views from the process of getting votes.
Let's get them on our screens as much as possible, let's push them to answer the questions they've spent 30 years equivocating over and then lets see where they stand in terms of support in the Republic.
The Northern Bank Raid may well prove to have been the single most important step forward in resolving the Irish Question since the Good Friday Agreement was signed. In fact it may prove to me more important.
