And people wonder why FG won't deal with SF!
Frank Flannery must be feeling like a complete idiot right now.
This photo taken during the week shows Kerry North TD, Martin Ferris collecting the two men convicted for the murder of Garda Jerry McCabe as they were released from Castlerea prison.
The Sinn Féin TD, once believed to be a member of the IRA Army Council has been condemned for his actions and I strongly condemn it as well.
Jerry McCabe was an innocent Guard who didn’t even have time to draw his own gun as he was struck down by 14 bullets in 1996. He was protecting an An Post van with another detective on June 6th when a jeep rammed their car forcing them to stop. The men from the van then riddled him an his parter with bullets killing him instantly and seriously injuring his partner.
Sinn Féin has consistently campaigned for the release of these thugs under the Good Friday Agreement and this week Pearse McCauley and Kevin Walsh walked free into the arms of Martin Ferris.
It’s clear form this that Sinn Féin are still a party of violence and a party of the IRA. This collusion is surely the nail in the coffin of the short lived FG/SF co-alition rumour. Not under any circumstances will Fine Gael do business with Sinn Féin in national government and if such a deal comes to pass after the next general election I will have no problem in canceling my membership with the party.
I would love to know the attitude that the Guards have towards Martin Ferris in Kerry. Garda McCabe was from the county and if I were a Guard I would have no problem in ignoring the TD should he even come in need of the Guards.
I call on the people of North Kerry to burn down his house and see how the Guards react. Let the man realise that he needs the Guards and that his support of killers is not acceptable.
I am a lifelong hater of Fianna Fáil and its policies however I now have a new most hated party, Sinn Féin.
