This grafitti must have been painted on by someone with access to the premises and that person is in support of an illegal terrorist organisation.
Ballymena Catholic after UVF grafitti was sprayed on a British Army barracks wall, inside the base
I never comment on security allegations, I don't intend to do so now.
Tony Blair commenting on the traking devices found on the Sinn Féin car last week
I think in all of these matters, the security forces have to start seeing things in a different light. We are not in the same security situation that we have been for much of the past 30 years.
Bertie Ahern on the bugging last week
It must be investigated and established who is responsible. It simply isn't acceptable in any political process.
Séamus Mallon on the affair
I get very angry about it now. I find it contrived, false and very stressful. It seems we are expressing our love for people by how much we give them.
Former Ballykissangel actress Dervla Kirwan on Christmas
Perhaps when some of us are tempted to bemoan our lot at the price of the latest children's toys, we should count our blessings that we are not worrying about where the Christmas dinner is coming from.
Editorial in last Friday's Irish News on poverty at Christmas
Go home you Fenian bastard, No surrender, What about Rosemary Nelson?
Abuse thrown at the Six-County Culture Minister Bríd Rodgers on a visit to Portavogie last Friday
The death of Rosemary Nelson undermined the rule of law and was a serious indictment of the RUC's failure to protect her life.
Statement from the London-based human rights group British-Irish Rights Watch calling for the British Government to launch an independent inquiry into the solicitor's killing
There can be no place in the modern world for institutions like it. Many nationalists still live with the nightmare of Castlereagh. The brutal litany of physical and psychological abuse meted out by RUC interrogators earned it international notoriety.
West Belfast Assembly member Alex Maskey on the closure of Castlereagh Interrogation Centre
If the unionists wish to argue that there should be a union flag above the Stormont Parliament Buildings, then I believe that under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement, Irish republicans and nationalists have the right to see the Tricolour.
Martin McGuinness on Sinn Féin proposals to remove union flags from public buildings in the Six Counties
I believe that racism is not as bad up here [Scotland], probably because the Scots and the Irish feel like the blacks of Britain. There is a genuine link between the groups because both feel that they have been downtrodden and oppressed.
