Gerry Adams: Ten years on, Martin’s walk is a central part of his legacy

TO be honest, I find it difficult to comprehend that next March it will be ten years since the death of my friend and comrade Martin McGuinness. For more years than I care to remember we were comrades in struggle seeking to advance our republican objective of national self-determination, build Sinn Féin as a radical, activist-based, republican party, and at the same time contributing to the creation of a peace process to end decades of conflict.

SQUINTER: Hell’s Bells! So that’s Gerry’s background

TO Inch Abbey just outside Downpatrick on Sunday for a visit to the ruins of the Cistercian settlement on the banks of the Quoile.

ANDRÉE MURPHY: An attack on memory and hope

On the 5th February 1992, Christy Doherty (52), Jack Duffin (66), James Kennedy (15), Peter Magee (18) and William McManus (54) were killed in Sean Grahams Bookmakers on the Ormeau Road. Nine were wounded, including Peter Magee’s brother in-law Mark Sykes. Systemic RUC collusion in that attack has been laid bare after the families were forced to engage a Goliath battle seeking to have that truth established, with family members dying young as a result of trauma and injury. One of the weapons used in the attack was placed on public display in the Imperial War Museum, while the investigation was still live. At the 29th anniversary commemoration PSNI officers arrested Mark Sykes in one of the most appalling acts of public authority indecency seen since the ceasefires.
