Should Gerry Adams stay on as Leader of Sinn Fein?

What was the alternative to what he did?

The same lads who’ll defend the IRA for kneecapping lads think that it’s fine to let paedo rapists roam the streets, as long as Gerry says so that is

What was the alternative to what he did??

Hell of a straw man you’re hiding behind there. I don’t think anyone has suggested that Adams arrest a suspected Paedo.

But I suppose, in your own way, you’re refuting the entire IRA campaign of murder and violence seeing as they, in your words, didn’t have the authority.

To tell the police. Do you think he was right to do nothing and allow his brother to interact with children?

So you’re telling us you think he should have gone to the RUC?

Christ you are naive.

Maybe he should have had him kneecapped instead.

Do you think he was right to do nothing and allow his brother to interact with children?

I’m not arguing against your point… But what do you mean by a man of Gerry’s profile? The RUC wanted him dead and they were involved in all kinds of sectarian murders… The RUC were a sectarian murder machine, very few nationalists would turn to them for anything.

I’m not excusing or defending anyone, but you haven’t a notion about the North if you think nationalists at that time should have gone to the RUC … It was huge that his niece actually did and then look what happened.

When did Gerry find out the truth?

2000, he told the PSNI in 2009.

If he told the police the second he found out and they did nothing, fair enough but you can’t just listen to someone admitting they have raped their own daughter and then allow them to go to youth clubs in Belfast like nothing is wrong

Yes. Exactly that

Maybe he offered to?

All you’re showing is complete ignorance of what the north was and is like.

Maybe you should keep your mouth shut on matters such as this rather than make an idiot out if yourself.

Will you answer this last question please?

Do you think he was right to do nothing and allow his brother interact with children?

I don’t see what reasonable course of action you are saying he could have taken?

The only alternative you have given is go to a sectarian police involved in the murder of nationalists and subsequent cover-ups, despised by the nationalist community and who had already failed to investigate when the victim went to them in 1987?

It’s a loaded question that does not make any sense but you’ve been too busy cheerleading the RUC to look at them.

To me, and I don’t know all the ins and outs of this, is why wasn’t there republican justice… Even in 2000, the police were still a no go.

He should have told the police and in the event of them ignoring him, he should have made sure that his brother wouldn’t be in a position to hurt children again.

You know I haven’t done that even once, stop deflecting

Well that would be preferable to doing nothing, yes. You can’t just allow admitted paedophiles to live life the way they want

The police force being the RUC, already aware of the allegations, despised and not trusted by nationalists, involved in huge amounts of sectarian killings and cover-ups.

You’re extremely naive.

So you think he was right to do nothing and allow his brother to live a care free life?

Do you think he was right to try to intimidate his niece to stop her making it public as well?

You’re asking another loaded question that makes no sense. The only alternative you out forward just shows a complete ignorance and naiveté to those times and how the police force was distrusted with great reason in nationalist communities.

I’d be more focused on the RUC if I was you.

I’d also be worried that the head of the Gardai is a peeler who has tried to suppress justice for the victims of the biggest terrorist atrocity in the free state but it might not fit in with your narrative.
