Jamila said:thanks, ZeroDude and bammo2, for your input into this discussion - I always think that it's important to get feedback from people who live in the area discussed to give their viewpoints even if I don't always agree with that viewpoint.
My two cents: just like the allegations against SinnFein two years ago which brought the current peace process to a halt, this latest bit o' news is nothing more than an ALLEGATION - NO INFORMATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS EVEN THE REMOTEST BASIS IN FACT.
Please research the history of robberies against the Northern Bank and even the logistics of this current robbery - the IRA is no where involved in these robberies. WHAT IS INVOLVED IN THE BUNGLING OF SECURITY BY THE BANK AND THE NORTHERN IRISH POLICE who now want to find a scapegoat by blaming the IRA!
Unless someone from the the IRA worked inside the Northern Bank, I don't know how they could have pulled off the logistics of how this robbery occurred.
To keep up to date with the Northern Ireland peace process, please go to http://www.bbc.co.uk and click on World News and click on Northern Ireland. I check it out several times a week to keep up on "the Troubles" and the regrettable lack of progress being made in that struggle.
Thanks, though, stars, for bringing up a real news issue for discussion.
I understand your point of view, but rhe police chief was practically handpicked by the nationalist community - I doubt if he'd be spreading slanders about the IRA if there was not some basis to it!
I used to work in a bank so I kind of take it to heart if people say it was the bank's own fault they got burgled! I was surprised by he amount they got away with though, but apparently it is all unusable as the numbers on the notes have been cancelled.
Whoever did it, these criminals should be decommissioned - permanently.
