There's a certain amount of playing for time here, of delaying, of minimising, of dragging out, and I think all of that isn't good.
Gerry Adams on the establishment of the North-South bodies and the All-Ireland institutions. Irish Times, Thursday 8 October.
What we are talking about is the blind robbery of the taxpayer by the rich.
Socialist TD Joe Higgins in Leister House last week on the Magill magazine revelations.
The RUC must remain the only legitimate police force in Northern Ireland. It must remain a unified force. And it must remain the Royal Ulster Constabulary. This conference salutes the Royal Ulster Constabulary... We see the commission [on policing] as an opportunity rather than a threat. We look to the heroic record of the RUC finally being straight and the lies and distortions of its enemies nailed.
Shadow Six-County Direct Ruler Andrew Mackay at the Tory conference in Bournemouth last week.
The Taoiseach, Mr Ahern and the Tanaiste, Ms Harney - who apparently needed Magill to inform them of the arrangement between AIB and the Revenue - are now promising a rigorous inquiry and corrective action. Mr Ahern, who says that this will involve ``several'' financial institutions, insists that all tax liabilities will have to be paid in full. Not for the first time, in the world of taxation and big business, there is the jarring sound of stable doors being locked after the horse has bolted.
Editorial in the Irish Times. Friday 9 October.
It is an implicit admission of institutionalised abuse of civil and human rights here since the partition of Ireland.
Sinn Féin's Mary Nelis in response to Mo Mowlam's claim that civil rights had almost been achieved in the Six Counties.
The one lesson that struck us at Blackpool (during the Labour Party conference) was the enormous latent sympathy and support for Irish unity. We intend to develop a strategy and allocate resources to allow us to harness that potential.
Sinn Féin source on the need to build a British withdrawal movement in Britain. Ireland On Sunday, 11 October.
I don't see the political will on the part of this administration to release me.
The only Republican POW in the United States Richard Johnson on his continuing incarceration in a US jail after serving eight years of a ten-year sentence.
There is very little comfort in this for the trade unions, outraged by the tax fiddling of the well-to-do. For their part, they believed they were signing up for ten years of partnership to get the Irish economy back on the road and in the process endured miserable pay increases and tax deductions on a fair-share basis. The emergence of the thousands of wide boys and wide girls driving a coach and four through the consensus, packs up the idea of social togetherness for them.
Ken Whelan on the effect of the financial scandal on the so-called social partnership. Ireland On Sunday, 11 October.
