MI5 agent Drew Harris appointed Garda Commissioner.

[McTell]

Drew’s name was on the arrest warrant for Gerry Adams and many other Republicans- he could not save his RUC father who the IRA executed- he is not going to save anything else-

My guess is that managing the gardi in the 20-teens is very different to NI in the 1980s. We all love the headline news, but 99% of the real slog of management never gets reported.

That's what he;s here for.

Some of our posters may be surprised to know that the gardi/mi5/psni don't sit around all day working out how to murder yet another totally innocent victim.

Not when there's so many breath tests to make up!

the only reason Drew is there is because the PSNI and Garda are going to merge- Drew would never have got that job if it was not for the Good Friday Agreement -

Indeed Mick, getting the Ra to surrender definitely boosted his career...

most people saw it as calling a Peace-Process after they put the Tonne bombs off in England then Sinn Fein were allowed into the talks which they were barred from and the rest is history as they say- but you think it was surrender after the RA killed his father that boosted his career-

both despise SF/IRA

Funny how your mate Drew said that AGS collided with the PIRA so....

Yes.

But why is it that the rest of us think of the GFA as something 20 years ago, but lots of nordies are still living in the 1970s? Even the 1670s?

You have to cop yourselves on and accept that nobody else is that fussed about the pope or the queen. They are figureheads, end of. We accept change, and if you don't, well, that is something you can't expect the rest of us to pay for.

Harris is the first of many, and anyone who accepts that the GFA was a game changer, and thinks the island is a nicer place in terms of identities and passports, will have to get over whatever he was doing in the past. Like pope benedict was in the hitler youth, long ago, big deal.

The Queen is only a brit figurehead who lives off the people’s taxes- Drew swore allegiance to her to become a subject- to become less than a person- that’s only his past to you-
The border-poll is our future along with a United 32- maybe the Pope will visit belfast by then- if he ever finds his balls-

[Karloff]

The appointment probably a quid pro quo between FFG and the UK Govt, 'you give us dirt on the IRA or SF for the election and we will put one of your lads at the centre of our domestic security agenda'.
