Who robbed the Northern Bank?

Good point Corner: There may well have been a chance that they would go on an almighty tear with the loot and get caught. Not now, eh? I heard most of it was made up of Northern Bank's own notes. Dunno what it's like shifting them in the 26C, but it's next to f*cking impossible in Britain to get rid of in normal times.They'll stand out like a sore thumb now. As for Europe... :D :D :D ...yeah right. Got no sympathy for these people, even if they handed the money over to some worthy charity (and that doesn't include Prisoners Wives' Association or the Bolton Rehabilitation Fund).

How much did 'The General' and his gang get away with in the O'Connor job in the early 90's or late 80's. i'm not sure. They must dump half the loot they got though as it looks so new that it would be easily identified...... serial numbers and the lot ;)

I reckon it was Colin Farrell , its similar to the plot in Intermission.

Good point , they skim hundreds of millions every day in charges and extortionent rates yet a measly £26m goes missing and there is a big fuss.

Bunch of Shylocks allright and they'll be skimming a few hundred million more to make up this small shortfall. The customer is the one who'll pay, mark my words.

Aren't Iraqi 'suspects' hooded and bound?
(nothing to do with Ireland of course)

you mean when they're kidnapped and sent off to a period of indefinite torture- yeah they sure are. and we provide a nice, scenic refuelling spot for their captors

Or being petrified every time your doorbell rings and being afraid to go out on your own? I'd take belt over the back of the head any day!

Why would she have no memory of it?
Surely, She's likely to be more traumatised if she actually got hit.
As far as a big bank job goes, it couldn't have gone much smoother (no bullets etc.)
+ the money was insured.
First thing that occurred to me was the IRA RETIREMENT FUND.
Ironically, could be good for the North.

Eastern Europe, middle east, Africa are all possible destinations for the money......that's where the IRA's other 'fundraisers' went :rolleyes:

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...

:D I've just been avoiding you cos you smell

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. :rolleyes:

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

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 ;)

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.
