Dr. O Gadhra exposes Sinn Fein dishonesty

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Saturday May 04, 2002 21:58author by A. O'H

Professor Nollaig O Gadhra, Galway University, speaking today on Wbai's Radio Free Eireann, NYC, said that Sinn Fein's election campaign was dishonest. They are talking about equality when the North is the issue he said. Also, Sandy Bowyer called for letters of support to be sent to Colm Murphy in Portlaoise Prison, who was not convicted of the Omagh bombing, but of conspiracy. Note: Professor O Gadhra, because of his republican beliefs, was banned from the U.S. for 20 yrs. until his fellow republican, Albert Reynnolds, intervened on his behalf. Now we know why.

I find this article a little bit confusing. The issue in the 26 county election is the north? interesting why is everyone not discussing it?

well, you see...

I think the point the author is making is that the only reason Reynolds helped this man get to America is so that he could bad-mouth Sinn Féin.

And Reynolds is about as Republican as the Queen.

INCORRECT INFORMATION

This article is incorrect. Nollaig O Gadhra is not and never was a Professor. Neither is he or was he ever working for Galway University. It is also completely untrue to say that he was not allowed to enter the USA at any point in his life, and therefore Albert Reynolds did not intervene on his behalf.

You should be very careful of what you publish on this website, as this article is completely inaccurate and gives a strong basis for legal action. An apology should be forthcoming

snig?

And "snig", when are you going to initiate the legal action? A bullshiting troll like you would not know one end of a courtroom from another.
Terrible all the same what some parents call their offspring
