Martin McGuinness when asked by Matt Frei on tonight’s Channel 4 News if as a former member of the IRA he ever remembered targeting Ian Paisley replied:
“No. I think that many people within Irish Republicanism thought that Ian Paisley alive was a much better recruiting sergeant if you like, for the IRA at that time.”
Who recruited Marty?
Peace!

More saltire drama.
Over Dublin this evening.
McHmmm.
Thanks Colm and Sheila Larkin
Update:
Over Dublin bay this evening.
Taken by (name not left)
From 1987, when Rhonda Paisley (top) hosted an episode of RTÉ’s chat show Saturday Live.
Most recordings have been destroyed as part of the Good Friday Agreement.
Guests included Brendan Grace, Rhonda’s then partner Sammy Wilson, and her father a pre-cuddly Reverend Ian Paisley (bottom).
Sammy’s deathless anecdotes (15:00, 25:00 and 57:00) and Brendan impersonating the Big Man (54:30) do nothing to relieve the unremitting weirdness.
Good times.
Watch in full here.
A short, bonkers film by Era Ora and Ivana Gloria, to wit:

Hmmm.
Looks like Dublin somewhere.
Hmmm.
FUPP!

“It was the Christian Science Library on Baggot Street [built in 1928] which was pulled down over a bank holiday weekend in 1974.

Temple or glass thing?
You decide.
