It has to be understood that there are communities which naturally detest war, but still fear for their lives.
Gerry Adams speaking in the US last week on decommissoning.
These people [INLA/IRSP] are just gangsters interested in their own opinion... In reality the nationalist community do not endorse the INLA's actions, or heed the IRSP's rhetoric; for they perceive the INLA/IRSP as opportunists using the banner of republican socialism as a convenience to cloak their true intentions, that is, to provide for their own personal gain.
Letter to the Irish News. Thursday 28 May.
He may have mentioned it to me on that night, but I have no recollection of it. I have recollections of receiving a number of anonymous letters and notes regarding Deputy Burke. I think our party headquarters gave at least one of those to the tribunal.
A forgetful Bertie Ahern following the mention of the anonymous note implicating Ray Burke in financial irregularities.
Rotten to the core.
Socialist TD Joe Higgins on Ray Burke.
Provoking violence.
Martin McGuinness on the RUC's reaction to events on the Garvaghy Road last weekend.
The Good Friday document is the beginning of a process of change. We pledge ourselves to ensure maximum change, to build a new future based on equality and justice. The days of the old order and second-class citizenship are gone forever.
Sinn Féin candidate in the forthcoming assembly elections Sue Ramsey announcing Sinn Féin's election team.
``Ulster's not for sale,'' Paisley said during the referendum, somebody should show him the credit card invoices.
Tom McGurk in the Sunday Business Post. 31 May.

Gerry Adams speaking in the US last week. Irish Times, Monday 1 June.
Unaminous opposition from Ulster delegates appears to have prevented the repeal of the Gaelic Athletic Association's Rule 21 ban on membership by members of the RUC and British Army.
Report on Rule 21 conference in the Irish Times. Monday 1 June.
And any such inquiry should apply not just to Fianna Fáil. For instance, it remains curious how Fine Gael would have been financially bankrupt before it went into office in December 1994 and be financially sound a year or so later. And one further point. The inquiry should cover not just financial contributions but benefits-in-kind as well.
Vincent Browne writing in the Irish Times on Wednesday on any inquiry set up into the Ray Burke/FF affair.
After the success of Elton John, here is exclusive news of an open-air concert planned for Drumcree this July. Apparently the Orangemen have asked Status Quo to play.
