An All Ireland champion bagpipe player was warned by the police not to perform at a Republican Sinn Fein commemoration, the North Kerry branch of the organisation claimed today. "However when the parade was about to assemble, and the man did not appear apologies were received," said Mr. O'Shea. "The piper had been visited earlier by the Special Branch police and their action intimidated him. |

He saw the error of his ways and decided not to play.
How can anyone in their right mind call this intimidation ?
I mean after Omagh who would want to be involved with those scumbags ?
The cops should not intimidate anyone especially peaceful non violent sensitive types like republican sinn fein!
Bungling corrupt garda should keep their booze snodden noses out of other peoples buisness. It's a free democratic cuntry? if people want to listen to shite fiddledy music, they should be allowed to. People are entitled to listen to their cultural type music even if they are republican sinn fein.
And i agree who would want to have anything to do with the brit security force personnel and agent A FRU Real IRA members responsible for the omagh bomb.
This sort of behaviour is going to kill the site. Think up your own tag, it's a free country, thank God.
Some of the morons on this, would never cease to amaze me with their plain ignorance.
People have a right to commemorate Irelands dead and during these commemorations, a piper is present to play a lament to honour the person who has made a supreme sacrifice, in dying for his country....something the above morons would never do.
And what we have is a supposeably under staffed public service, going out of their way, to intimidate a piper. Can anybody not see the irony of that!
where r u ailin , usa or ireland??????
what is your official capacity? pro/spokeperson?????
The Special Branch had plenty of time yesterday to harass people giving out leaflets in support of Republican POWs.
A pity those resources couldnt be diverted to deal with drug-pushers. But then the Garda are also too busy harassing people who confront pushers.
what r u talking about,
rsf/cira have been heavily implicated on countless occasions with drugdealing in limerick particularly with their feuding buddies.
get real
Bullshit as you well know. The same crap is churned out about PIRA, INLA. The truth is that republicans fight drugpushers. Now crawl back into your shithole, theres a good little troll.
History tells us that in fact it is the state which is the biggest drug pushers ever. Agents of state/security force personnel such as the LVF, Johnny adair's C company, push smack to working class communities.
Smack addicts are very useful to the state, because they squeal like canaries, when locked up in order to get out quickly to get their next fix.
nice to see your limited vocab and intelligence reduces you to personal abuse (c)rapper.
u are surely taking the piss to suggest that inla are fighting drugpushers. open ur eyes , fella
as for cira in limerick, how did ross cantillon, and woodland those two fine upstanding members of a certain limerick drugs gang get their hands on an Ak47.
bought in in argos (c)rapper???????????????
you obviously dont live here, if you did youd see the 'brave' 'soldiers' for what they really are, mercenaries who will sell weaponry to any heroin dealer.
easy to label a troll someone that doesnt agree with ur own ignorant rant!
I reckon Lord Haugh Haugh uses his Airport Police buddies to smuggle the guns in.
Well Crapper seems you are on the run if you are reaching for such an argument.
Would that be the same rapper who officialy posts for the IRSM???
So its OK to attack REpublicans but not the SP! Theres more "evidence" for the SP accusation. Haugh has an unhealthy love affair with the Shannon Airport Police.
Rapper unless i am mistaken you are saying that you have made a false allegation against the SP because someone else made a false allegation against RSF/CIRA. Is that right?
So its ok to say anything you weant about Republicans but no one can criticise the SP! Dont you think thats a tiny bit hypocritical?
Why is it ok for SP members to slander RSF and the IRSM but its not ok for Republicans to respond in kind?
As I have pointed out, it is Haugh who has the unhealthy warm relationship with the Airport Cops. You could do a lot with those kind of connections.
No rapper it would not be ok for SP members to slander rsf or irsm, as far as i know they havent done so on this thread or any other.
The point remains, someone on this thread critised rsf and you responded with something that you knew was untrue.
It is not an issue of which group you attacked you should not have done it at all.
