THE IRA uses Sinn Fein’s Northern Ireland headquarters to hold high-level meetings and to plan terrorist operations and financing, security sources have said.

The IRA’s Belfast Brigade has until “very recently” gathered at Sinn Fein’s Connolly House headquarters in republican West Belfast, where Gerry Adams has met international peacemakers such as Desmond Tutu, the Archbishop of Cape Town, and American congressmen, intelligence officials said last night.

Members of the IRA’s Belfast “Command”, its head of intelligence and one of the most hardline IRA figures in Northern Ireland had held meetings in the Sinn Fein headquarters at Andersonstown they said.

One senior source told The Times: “Connolly House was always the focus point of both IRA and Sinn Fein meetings, though they were cute enough to have other meetings at different places that we weren’t aware of.” He said that at the meetings, known IRA figures would discuss “everything from forthcoming operations to who was moving to what position”.

1. Since the main IRA has kept the ceasefire, what terrorist operations

were planned?

2. Giving up all weapons was main condition of Good Friday Agreement.

This was never complied with.

Whole catalogue of other violations of the Agreement led to suspension of NI Assembly.
Rest is history.

5. Stolen Irish Money found in police club

the Police Service of Northern Ireland said they suspected
that whoever planted the money in the New Forge country
club did so "in an effort to distract the police from
investigating the Northern Bank robbery."-WHAT A JOKE!

-That's right-the IRA is so clever we can bring $95000 into
the very heart of enemy camp and vanish like ghosts.
Give up now, Brits. We can do anything we want!

Dublin and the southern city of Cork said they had blown open an IRA money-laundering operation.

Of the eight people arrested in the raids seven have since
been released without charge. One man
was
charged with membership of an illegal
organisation.

unlikely to produce any leads in the hunt for the alleged Irish Republican Army gang responsible-
BUT WE KNOW the
IRA did it!-You gotta trust
us!

Right, we've blown this thing wide open. That's why we've let everyone involved go free.

Please. The RUC/Trimble/Paisley are thugs. They don't
want Sinn Fein anywhere near NI gov't. Blair and
MI5 have thrown in w' the thugs.

Sinn Féin yesterday gave a blunt warning that the
Northern Ireland peace process is facing a "dangerous
crisis" because of Tony Blair's failure to stand up to
unionists who are refusing to share power with
republicans.

10. And according to the Good Friday Agreement, the IRA had a year

after the Agreement was signed to do that, but the Prostestant radicals wanted it immediately and did everything they could to try to make the Agreement fail. The Protestant radicals, like Ian Paisley, don't want to share power with the Catholics. They never have. These are the scum that should be sent packing back to Britain at Britain's expense.

3. Yeah, and they also used pubs and fast food restaurants

What's their point?

Oh, yeah. They want to discredit the peaceful political arm insisting on rights for indigenous Irish.
