I knew Sean well. A deeply complicated and haunted man. A lot of people were pulled in by his bull in later years, but I refused to forget that he was essentially a killer. With Sean, it was also very hard to figure out where the lies ended and the truth began- an exceptionally intelligent but very fragile man who deliberately manipulated people in order to hide areas of his private life. Nothing was ever straightforward with him. The problem is that he was a masterful actor and a charismatic speaker, so it was easy to be drawn into the myths he’d concocted. I suspect he was somewhere on the psychopathic spectrum. The only thing I can say with any certainty is that he seemed to genuinely love his children, or was at least genuinely proud of them. Above all, the lasting impression I have of Sean is that the decisions he made in life (murder and betrayal) had isolated him to such a degree that he never trusted anyone ever again. Even those friends who thought they mattered to him would later be betrayed by him...he couldn’t help it; he seemed to regard truth as a pliable substance. In a word, the loneliest man I ever knew. But still a charming sod none the less.

The formation of the IRA was the worst thing to happen in Irish History? No Sean, the famine of 1847 that killed one million people was the worst thing to happen in Irish history.
@totoibra19 жыл бұрын
The man is self pitying. So after he is involved in the death of a young female soldier and didn't like it he still continued his involvement in the IRA. There's not much principle there. He then goes on to rat people out to free up his own conscience. To say the formation of the PIRA was the worst thing to happen in Irish History is also a load of nonsense.

It's easy to have a very aloof attitude to killing when you've never had to do it yourself. Had you killed a living creature before you'd realise the significance of death and how terrible it is. The fact that he doesn't rejoice in the death of his opponents actually makes him more human, it doesn't make him a 'bed wetter.' Only a child would think like that.

God bless you. The Catholic faith is some what disgusting. Thank God I don’t need ever to be in a priests company.

Sean O'Callaghan was a tout and works openly as an adviser to the Unionists. Of course he's going to blacken the IRA. Now he looks over his shoulder just waiting either to die of old age or get one through the back of the head. He was beat up by a rent boy and wishes he can return to Tralee in Kerry which will never happen. He deserves an OBE (One Behind the Ear) for his services to the free-state and the crown.

@TomBarry192I You really are unbelievable, your logic is that just because the Provos murdered hundreds of catholics as well as protestants then they can't be accused of being sectarian. In other words Republicans killed their own as well so therefore we were not bias or particular about what religion their victims were.

No they were never disbanded they were merged with the RIR. It was the British Governments idea that if they did it they thought it would clean up the image of local Brits, just like the RUC - PSNI. All the older members are now higher up whilst the new recruits just take orders.
