Bhí dhá fear IRA ag siúl síos bóthar i mBeal Feirste agus chonaic siad fear ina seasamh in aice an balla. Dúirt fear amhain ar an fear eile … “An ceapann tú go bhfuil an fear sin in san UVF ?” Arsa an fear eile … “Ní ceapaim”. [Via Reddit] Posted via email from lecraic’s posterous | Comment »

Blogged this last week and brought to mind again following the report into child abuse in the Archdiocese of Dublin. Look close at the teeny tiny sphere at the bottom there. Just seen a message on Twitter about a facebook group to get the papal nuncio expelled from Ireland. Wonder will it get more members than the one to support victims of child abuse. Wonder also how many that join it know...
