Who robbed the Northern Bank?

[dortie]

in all fairness liam they don't know who did it!! when we're talking paramilitary it seems a bit too easy to suggest republican paramilitary!!

fair enough there's a track record there but still i think people are too quick to listen to the hype!

True, and of course there is more than one IRA now.

I haven't seen Eanna for a while, maybe he's lying low for some reason...

[Fair_play_boy]

. . . This leaves the gang with only €7.5m in used notes . . .

That will still buy a LOT of beer and pizza!

I hear on the news now that they are now blaming the I.R.A. (not specified what spin off group).

The jist of it is that they say the I.R.A. are in their opinion to blame but they have no evidence.

Nice to see not much has changed in the "new look" police force. No evidence but always good to have a scapegoat eh?

They may well have been behind it but to say there is no concrete evidence and then say that is just stirring it and a shocking generalisation IMO.

we'll all find out who did it when the fillum comes out - just bide yer time lads

Hugh Orde said it was the Provos. I'd lay odds it's a setup to derail the peace process, either the whole thing (with a moolah kicker) or just the aftermath. But of course it could have been a setup by the Provos themselves, because they aren't happy with the way things are going, so who knows...

Orde specified the Provos in his news conference.

I havent seen paisley on tv for a while, maybe he's buying up the bling in new york or somewhere

[Risteard]

I am very very anti-Shinners/Provos but i must say this seems to stink a bit.
You can't say that without showing us the evidence.
I suspect he's correct but imagine how big this could backfire if he turned out wrong.

Do you not think that Order considered all these possible consequences before he made this decision. I am sure he thought about the implications on a personal basis and the wider political spectrum. If he didn't believe there was value in doing this, or thought that there was significant doubt then he would not have done it.

Fair play to him, time the bank robbing murderers were challenged......

I don't trust Sinn Féin or the IRA, but i have to admit this constant mudslinging is getting on my nerves- McDowell is at it all the time. Fair enough, everyone is pretty sure they're up to no good, but how is it that people can go around making these allegations with no proof. It really is one law for some, one law for others. If they have proof, let them charge people, otherwise they should treat people with some respect. its all well and good saying "the dogs in the street know it"- that was the case involving some FF politicians and corruption too- but you would have landed in court if you'd said it to the press.

[piratemousey]

the ira/sinn fein boys for sure.
oli.burn (ahem) was only looking for some jhonny blues and got involved. he scared the sh**e out of the woman when he turned to her and said that Schels would get into the champions league group stages.

What actual evidence did Mr PSNI/RUC actually produce for this statement ?
Im sure he is also well aware of the political Implications in declaring this, its the best way out of the GFA for the Unionists. Im sure they will be rubbing their hands at this."Thank you Mr Orde".

Dont know how long the remaining 'Pro-agreement' Republicans can put up with excuse after excuse and numerous stalling tactics by both Unionism and the British State. All they are doing is proving politics aint working. So in my opinion Ordes statement is not going to do this country any favours.
