Gerry adams and Martin mcguinnes were members of the IRA. How, being members of a murdering terrorist organisation, can they be out to 'genuinely improve the lot of ordainary people'. they were responsible, either directly or indirectly but their involvment cannot be denied, in bombings shootings etc. how exactly did this help people?
Adams and co say they are not members of the IRA. even your PM does not admit to them being members/office bearers of the IRA and has never refrred directly to their membership. so why do you say they are?
As for them wanting to better the lot of catholics...thats the mandate that they were elected on. So why contest the fact by saying it was not all the people they wanted to serve only the catholics. Do you think their election as MPs of the British parliament is not fair as it was only based on the catholic vote in catholic constituencies?
How does their presence in the corridors benefit the constituents if these MPs do not debate or vote?
They are choosing to not act as a representative of their constituents and yet receive, in many cases, greater payment than those that do.
dom tuk, if adams and co say they are not in the IRA is that meant to be good enough. tony blair says lots of things that people don't believe so if the PM lies i'm sure a bunch of terrorists will to. It is common fact that whatever they say, they were in fact members of the IRA. Mcguiness was an active volunteer and adams held a high ranking postition in belfast during the early seventies.
