[@trolmct6972]

The vast vast majority of former volunteers returned to a normal life

you do a brilliant show / news i try to never miss it . keep up the great work .

[@thescotsman1420]

More whoopers! This time regarding Pearse McAuley, although there obsession with the Kinahan family and mentioning them in any ill context, this woman is still smarting from Daniel Kinahan telling her "why don't you take your face for a good shite"

[@ringsidejudge4302]

Thank you Nicola , at 5.07 , you confirm that the RA were proper soldiers . In the north the RA killed 319 RUC men . Proper soldiers killed 319 , Pearse McAuley kills 1 . Surely Nicola can not condemn the killing of 1 policeman and condone the killing of 319 . I think her republican sympathy should be extended to all ,

[@michaelharmon8831]

Your twisted logic seems to have been born from ignorance , with all due respect. Firstly, any person that stabbs a person whom is not an imminent physical threat to their life is a scumbag, as was McCauley. The North, South,East and West of Ireland is all Ireland. I do not condone killing police, however, I do see a difference between killing people representing a repressive and invasive, foreign force and one of your own. Would you say a Frenchman that killed 319 Nazi's in France in 1943 was worse than him killing 1 French soldier !.

The psychopath Pearse McAuley was described in the eulogy in church as : * An Educator *A philosopher *A deeply sincere man.

[@kimble0602]

Yesss,misrepresented in the press 😮 Nicola should address this in so far as She is really being accused of said misreprentation? How did the press miss this beautiful beautiful side to him ? Is there any wonder the Catholic Church with employees like the good Father are fading away into oblivion

Only God can be our Judge at death, and that judgement will take everything into account ,

You are a real journalist Nicola unlike a lot of the "PRO journalists " .

You people who are clearly telling lies about pearse McAuley saying he was throwing his weight around in prison is nothing but lies, i was in prison in portlaoise in the 90s and i can say hand on heart that man was not a bully when I was in prison i was not in the IRA i was in portlaoise on a different landing we were working on the IRA landing at the time and that guy who ye are clearly calling him bad names he was not a bully believe me the side i saw of him and i talk to him sometime when I was working on their landing and believe me some of the prison officer's tried bully tactics on us and Pearse would ask them to leave us alone because if we cleaned up the landing by sweeping up and mopping the floors these screws would walk on the floor and when they are wet the would be black marks on the floor from there shoes and the would shut at us and tell us to clean the floors again and one time a big bully screw had me up against a wall by the neck and Pearse saw what was happening and he told the screw to leave me alone because it was not the first time it happened so i never saw him bullying anyone when I was in prison in portlaoise in the 90s so stop telling lies about a man who just died a few days ago,ye people don't even care about his family saying really biased stuff about that man so get your facts right 99% of the time all you people do is make up lies about people so you ever hear the saying you have to live with someone to really know them will what i know of him he was ok with us prisoners working on their landing so I never saw him doing anything like what you guys are saying, may he rest is pace now , he's in a better place than this evil world, you people never gave any one a chance you will always just tell lies, now i am just telling the truth about the side of the man who was used just like most of the people who gave so much for Ireland and got letting in return for trying to free Ireland and that is the saddest part about it,ill say no more,

[@tiglishnobody8750]

Isn't he stab his wife?

[@JohnSmith-hi8rl]

One SF President campaigned to have him released from prison under the terms of the GFA. His successor claimed that his next prison sentence was not long enough!!

[@kimble0602]

After she threw her arms around and hugged him and the other killers at a reception following their early release.

A lot of Provos had PTSD like r soldiers in 🇺🇲

[@jackwild8019]

The Munster Unit of the IRA was always inextricably linked with the England department. 🇬🇧...they had a particular hatred of the Gardai even more so the many of the Northern command who were on strict instructions not to engage with the police from the Free State. One event was when Patrick Sheehy shot himself outside Nenagh post office in 1991...Sheehy was once the most wanted man in Britain and a absolutely reckless character...but they wanted vengeance for Sheehy particularly as some even thought he had been eliminated by British Intelligence ,which seems unlikely, but Sheehy was a man with no where to run anymore 🏴‍☠️🥀

[@grupadian9809]

shower of bastards they were. Both sides and both governments at the time

[@skin490]

Sheehy did not shoot himself

[@mrpotato442]

Why did he have 2 black eyes in most of the pictures of him?

Best crime news podcast out there ✌️respect from Glasgow 🏜

[@eoinyessesmaguire1636]

Even the Provos north and south of the border were terrified of him lose cannon

[@Judgementday-qp1ol]

No one could justify hitting a woman, let alone a horror assault. This could be of course PTSD. as War does have this affect on individuals. We have seen this behaviour from every Organisation, British Army ,Police, Irish Army, Garda, etc. The Human Being has a breaking Point, some quicker than others.

The priest said he was : "An educator, a philosopher, a sincere man". 😅. You couldn't in your wildest imagination invent it, could you? More like: "A murderer and a psychopath". Didn't he attack a woman with a knife, as well? And the clergy wonder why the pews are empty; you can see them standing in deserted churches scratching their heads! You cannot do that much damage in life and hope to get away with it. If there is a heaven, he's certainly not there.

[@rick11960]

Was it the priest saying that or a fellow psychopath ?

[@rick11960]

The 'woman ' was his wife !
