It is equally “unfortunate” that the murderers of Detective McCabe seem to be living off the fat – in a Holiday Inn style “Prison”.

Perhaps Justice Minister McDowell will now abolish the plea of justifiable homicide aka “political murder” and ensure that the deliberate taking of human life is a “crime” – not the “unfortunate” consequence of IRA “fund-raising” – the absurdist view of Mayoress Ferris & MEP
Mary Lou McDonald.

Congratulations to Mary Harney for 13 years of dedicated work; honesty; plain speaking and some very significant achievments.

Michael McDowell has a dificult act to follow but he, also, has energy; determination & guts.

And he is honest, a vital ingredient in the present coalition.

As the Chinese say – “May he live in interesting times.”
