A lot of things they are putting out in this campaign bear no resemblance to what actually happened. The whole campaign has been full of disinformation which everyone in England seems to believe. The demonstration yesterday was an insult. The politicians who are involved in the campaign are in it for their own selfish interests.
Billy McBride, uncle of murdered Belfast man Peter, on the demonstration to call for the release of two Scots Guards convicted of his murder. Thursday 24 July.
However laudable and well intentioned, the scheme by American Senators and Congressmen to provide 50,000 of our young men and women with US work visas must be approached against the backdrop of our collective experience of emigration and the devastating damage it has done to the social and economic fabric of our society. To embrace a scheme of `temporary' emigration is not a course we should embark upon without giving serious and profound consideration to the political, social and economic consequences which may follow.
Sinn Féin Assembly member John Kelly on the announcement of 50,00 work visas for the border counties by the US. Irish News, Friday 24 July.
A direct attempt to break the Anti-Drugs Movement... There is a great danger of a major miscarriage of justice taking place around this trial.
COCAD statement on the shifting of three of the cases in the Josie Dwyer case to the Special Court.
This is a blatant misuse of the Special Criminal Court. There can be no justification for treating two groups of people charged with the same offence on the same evidence so diferently.
Irish Council for Civil Liberties on the case.
Our members are being killed. Where workers have power, we think people are going to start walking off sites.
SIPTU Official Sylvester Cronin after the death of two building workers in County Kildare.
This attack is but the latest in a long list of such incidents where Catholic families in isolated areas of the city are targeted for loyalist harassment, intimidation and violence.
Sinn Féin Deputy Mayor Lynn Fleming after a loyalist attack on two Catholics on Monday morning.
We can't have this type of mayhem on the streets as we have had this year. 1997 wasn't too bad but 1998 has really gone over the top.
Robert Saulters, Grand Master of the Orange Lodge. Sunday 26 July
The Maze Prison will see a fairly rapid, progressive run-down over the next two years.
Alan Shannon, head of NI Prison Service. Tuesday 28 July
