SF/IRA running rings round the Taoiseach

I AM disappointed at the Taoiseach’s defeatist attitude in regard to the Colombia Three.

Several months back, Mr Ahern expressed similar defeatism in the Dáil when he declared that the killers of Garda Jerry McCabe would have to be released in order to advance the peace process.

Only for the howls of outrage raised by the opposition, the gardaí, the public and Ann McCabe, which stiffened Mr Ahern’s spine, these men would now be walking the streets thumbing their noses at law-and-order.
