    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... ...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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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...
    Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?

    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.

    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 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.
