Prince Charles and Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams during Prince Charles’ visit to Galway last week
At the end of her otherwise lyrical piece on Prince Charles’s visit to Galway and the Burren, Miriam Lord concludes on a gratuitously negative and wrong note (“Fields of magic on trip to the Burren”, May 20th).
“As for Mr Adams, he didn’t stay for the speeches after the handshakes. Gerry had his Kodak moment.” Oh Lord.
I did stay. Upstairs. With Martin McGuinness and Trevor Ó Clochartaigh. But maybe Miriam didn’t know. We met privately with Charles and there wasn’t a negative word between us. Just saying. – Is mise,
GERRY ADAMS, TD
Leinster House,
Dublin 2.

Fair enough. Good though Lord is, journos get the story wrong so many times.
Miriam Lord is so bloody boring. Blueshirt to the core.
Hi Jonotti, bored today?
ha! brilliant
He knows her face and knows where she works…
ah fuk off
Just saying… is the new “I’m not being (whatever) but…”
A 4th rate error, unfortunately we’re seeing more and more of this in the Times. No excuse.
There’s no story for the hacks in that Gerry. You should have turned your back on him or something in order to satisfy Miriam’s lasciviousness.
“Just saying”
lol
“Just saying”…sure that means I’m a friendly simpleton who shies away from conflict, and definitely not a darkly ambiguous, shadow-hearted figure.
“Just Saying” also means I abhor you, I want to reduce you to nothing, I know you are infinitely more intelligent than me but I want to prove you wrong so badly without jeopardising the cuddly image the public have of me.
In your world
It’s definitely someone with a passive aggressive nature at the very least, but also a sign of a massive c***womble
my new word for the week :)
Another fan of Just Sayin’ … https://twitter.com/senhealyeames/status/577077279651704832 …
Boom.
No coded warning before your comment.
Are you at home in the sitting room watching TV?
Yes, of course I am at home watching TV. Sitting on a bar stool in the pub with my mates…
She was fooled by someone who is an expert at being in 2 places at the same time.
We met privately with Charles and there wasn’t a negative word between us.
Do murderers converse freely about their past deeds?

BS Run a caption competition…
Charles: “This tea is a little light, my man.”
Gerry: “The bag is perforated like a UVF terrorist used for target practice”
Charles: “Oh Gerry, haha, too soon, too soon my good man”
“Your motte looks like Joan Burtons Chin”
If only I had a motte :(
Chin up :-)
Arrah Clamps!

But we need you here!

Can’t bate that in fairness.
if only she had got off her a**e ,armchair journalism.
Or send Conor Pope.
….after Miriam Lords blistering attack on the ‘No’ campaigners in general and Breda O’Brien & Family in particular last week in her article on Ursula Halligan I’ll forgive her anything from now on…
Only thing I dont like about reading about Gerry Adams, is the childish, aggressive and blatantly racist commentary people happily make afterwards.
To be fair I can’t get enough of that.
Apt username is apt.
Chose it to make things easy for the resident ” wits “.
great letter and whopper of a mistake by ms Lord.
Sloppy – Mony sayin Lek!
Upstairs…not a balcony seat I hope.
Point well made but he should have stopped before ‘Just saying.’ Ridiculous expression.
He didn’t go away, you know.
