Dúirt siad...
If we're not down by the Fourth of July, then we're into a very dangerous situation... because then we are on a slippery slope towards something possibly as serious as civil war.
Portadown Orangeman David Jones, in an interview with the Boston Herald, threatening what would happen if Orangemen do not walk the Garvaghy Road this summer.
... A load of auld shite.
Labour EU candidate Bernie Malone on her running mate's campaign, our old Friend Proinsias De Rossa.
However you define it, one thing is for sure, homelessness in Ireland is increasing. And unlike other European countries, where only 60% of services for the homeless are provided by voluntary organisations, in Ireland, the voluntary sector accounts for a whopping 90% of help provided... So far the time being at least, it looks as if the homeless are still going to be more dependent on private support than on a cohesive, government-supported and inadequately funded government plan.
Denise Hall in last week's Examiner on lack of government action on homelessness.
We are clearly rejecting this. He has proposed naming ministers, and then in between IRA decommissioning. This is not part of the Agreement. Our position on the decommissioning issue is that it has to be dealt with in the context of the Good Friday Agreement. It is not a precondition.
Sinn Féin source in the Irish News on David Trimble's proposals for nominating ministers to the Six-County Executive.
In their millions, and without equivocation, the people of South Africa have renewed the mandate of the ANC to govern our country... The people have directed us to move forward faster... So that the goal of a better life for all is achieved sooner rather than later.
ANC leader Thabo Mbeki after the party's landslide victory in the South African General election.
Could the government find a peacekeeping force to quell the open warfare in the Labour Party.
Joe Higgins TD in Leinster House last week.
There is a sense of utter shock and disbelief in Portadown this morning at this cowardly killing.
Breandán Mac Cionnaith after the killing of 59-year-old Elizabeth O'Neill from Portadown by loyalists.
Recently a member of the PUP said Antrim had always been loyalist but that Catholics were moving in to take over. What planet are they living on? We've been here for centuries. We're not getting out of here. We belong here too. I am not asking for my rights; I'm demanding them. I am a ratepayer and a citizen of this town. I demand that these thugs respect that.
Antrim town resident on the ongoing attacks on Catholics by loyalists in the area. Ireland On Sunday, 6 June.
The rejectionists and the right wing of unionism are being allowed to dictate the political agenda, to subvert the peace process and undermine public morale.
