    A young Liam Neeson (a Catholic) used to sneak into his sermons and has said how he delivered his speeches helped inspire his acting. Whatever about his cause, as an orator he was unquestionably one of the most engaging ever on the island of Ireland.

      @@AnArchyRulzz: ‘Sinn Fein enjoys little support Down Under
      Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 10.00am
      If John Howard were to snub Gerry Adams, there would be no fallout.
      It seemed like a bad idea at the time. However, with the benefit of hindsight, John Howard probably made the correct decision when he declined to meet Gerry Adams during the Sinn Fein leader’s visit to Australia in 1999.
      Sinn Fein is best regarded as the political wing of the Provisional Irish Republican Army. Its leaders were banned from visiting the United States until 1994, when the IRA declared what it termed a complete cessation of military operations. But in early 1996 the IRA terrorists set off a bomb in London, so the Howard Government refused Adams a visa to travel to Australia.
      In 1998 Sinn Fein was a party to the Easter agreement, which opposed “any use or threat of force for any political purpose” on the island of Ireland or the British mainland. The ban on Sinn Fein personnel visiting Australia was lifted and, subsequently, Adams and Martin McGuinness have undertaken speaking tours. One aim of these gigs has been to raise money for Sinn Fein.
      In recent years Adams has been a guest at the White House on St Patrick’s Day, where he has been welcomed by Bill Clinton and then George Bush. Until 2005. This year Bush refused to meet the Sinn Fein leader, choosing instead to welcome the sisters and partner of the Irish nationalist Robert McCartney, who was murdered by IRA operatives during a pub brawl in Belfast last January. The snub to Adams was a bipartisan affair, involving leading Republicans and Democrats.
      Without question, Sinn Fein/IRA has been damaged by the McCartney murder and its subsequent cover-up by IRA operatives. Also, there is a growing awareness of the IRA’s involvement in serious criminality. There is little doubt that the IRA was directly linked to the $A65 million armed robbery of the Northern Bank in Belfast last December, which also involved a brutal kidnapping.
      For years McGuinness and Adams have denied involvement with the IRA. However, in recent times McGuinness has acknowledged that he was the commander of the Derry IRA in the early 1970s. Adams still maintains that he has no connection with the IRA but the Irish Government is no longer willing to let such comments pass without challenge. Earlier this year Irish Justice Minister Michael McDowell named Adams and McGuinness as members of the seven-man IRA Army Council.
      Ireland’s Foreign Minister, Dermot Ahern, has said that the Irish Government is “satisfied that the leadership of Sinn Fein and the IRA are interlinked; they’re two sides of the one coin”.
      In a sense, Sinn Fein/IRA poses a greater threat to Ireland than to Britain. From a London perspective, the IRA causes serious problems in one province of Britain. From Dublin’s perspective, however, Sinn Fein/IRA is a revolutionary force that could come to office in the Republic of Ireland because of the democratic process’.

Closest I can find is Carrowreagh primary school, which is far removed from the River Bann - which presumably is the river (or, at least, one of its tributaries) shown at that point in the video.

      When I listen and did listen in the past to his speeches I never got the feeling to kill or attack anyone. That is nonsense.

      ***** Yes, but not everybody is as bright as you. My claim that he inspired some to kill others is not nonsense, some of those who did the killing were those who made the claim. It is not nonsense to them. Nor was he just a Christian minister, he was a fundamentalist Christian minister and a politician too.
      'If not for people like Ian I feel there would have been many more killed'.
      I'm not so sure about that. Today he appears to accept that there was justification of the Civil Rights movement of the late 1960s. If he had championed that rather setting his face against Civil Rights, the impact of the gunman would have been reduced.

      That's a difficult question as the unionists cannot rely on the support of a paramilitary police force or UDR anymore and the British army would not threaten mutiny in their favour. Do they attack the security forces!? A sectarian campaign would also be short-sighted. I don't think we would see a full-scale civil war but continued serious civil unrest.

      As someone from England now living in Northern Ireland its taken me some time to get my head around the politics. Basically, if you live one side of the road you'll have one view, if you live the other side of the road you will hold the opposite view.
      Neither side will give an inch of compromise as they seek to either keep the word 'Northern' in their name and remain in the UK or drop it all together and become one with the Republic.
      As someone who can see it with fresh eyes, divorced from the rhetoric and brainwashing of both sides, it is worth none of the blood shed of the recent past and none of the ongoing hatred of the present.
