Theyâve got great sporting facilities in Nenagh.
I think Seamus Morris topped the Poll in Nenagh last time out in the locals.
Ye say it like its a badge of honour for them fellas. There are virtually no, if any at all, real âRAâ men alive, not to mind living in Nenagh. There are similar places down here that get the same tag, Passage, Carrigtohill, Dunmanway etc, all they are a load of fellas with Celtic jerseys, tatooâs and/or less sense or knowledge than they should have at their age.
Alot of these places would traditionally have been strong Republican areas, but these cunts are just living off a family name or the like to create some kind of aura around themselves, and to give them their place in the community, nothing more nothing less.
Ye are very naive lads.
Mick Jones is a Nenagh man, i wouldnât mind hearing his thoughts on the matterâŚ
well i was talking about IRA men who were members in the past. and trust me, there are plenty of them around the Nenagh area.
Caoimhaoin has already told you that there arenât. Please keep up noddy.
There are people like that scattered all over the country noddy, i would question their Republicaness as well though. There are exceptions of course, people who really understand what it means to be a Republican, any of those i met though never took up arms. Hanging out with drug dealing scumbags from the North and having a gun doesnât make you a âRAâ man either by the way.

I wasnât talking about them and neither was noddy Iâd say, the majority of these lads would now be in their late 40âs and 50âs at this stage and more than likely would only have been members in the 1980âs(thatâs not saying they took up arms)âŚA good number of these would have spent time in London in the 1980âs as wellâŚ
those are exactly the men i was talking about
Being in the RA doesnât make you a RA man. Remember that.
In caoimhaoinâs opinion people who are IRA men will come up and tell you on the street they are IRA men.
The IRA are all scum anyway.
Eh no, the exact opposite.
If i was going on your criteria for reading a post iâd be saying that the lads thinking living in London in the 80âs meant you were in the IRA. Is Puke really Scotland Yard?
of course i know they are not saying thatâŚ
What defines a âRAâ man so lads, so there is no confusion over what we are discussing. i went to Ogra Sinn Fein meetings in my teens, do i qualify?
I would think that being a member of the IRA at one point in time would be handyâŚ
How do you know though, they donât tell anyone? Are you working off rumour and innuendo?
In my experience, 9 times out of 10, the people associated with it, or definitely those who say they are/were, are as close to being in the âRAâ as someone who watches âSome Mothers Sonâ.
In small villages and towns itâs not hard to know who was in the RA and who was a spoofer.
There were plenty of fellas down my way who did time for the RA and were involved in various incidents over the years.
both our arguements rely on anicdotal evidence or personal experience kevâŚ
Like I said Mick Jones is from Nenagh himself, I wouldnât mind hearing his thoughts on itâŚActually now that i think of it so is Robert KeaneâŚHopefully they can shed some light on this
Fair enough, but these 2 points still stand;
:rolleyes:
and
there are no âRAâ towns anymore.
The real RA men were those who never joined Iâd say. The lads with the guns were just barstoolers.
:rolleyes:
