1999 Cork Sinn Fein local election candidate Michael Nugent, Sinn Fein Passage West member Sean Kind, Youghal Sinn Fein member Kieran Kiely and Walter Nagle were convicted today in the Special Criminal Court of possesing firearms (THREE LOADED HANDGUNS) in Mitchelstown last year. Is this part of Sinn Feins' support for the Gardai , army and the State? Is it part of their commitment to non-violent means? Maybe Sinn Fein could let the rest of us know is it compulsory for their membership to receive arms training. Will these four be disowned by SF like the former Ard Chamhairle member Jim Monaghan and Connolly their Cuba rep? Or just forgotten like the Limerick IRA unit in Gaol for killing Gerry McCabe? Only time will tell. You cannot have it both ways calling on us plebs to support the police and state and at the same time running around with guns.
