SF are the traitor party.They are replacing the natives with the third world.

Jim should've just gave andy his spot in the finer things club 😂

How right he was, rip hero

Cant call yourselves Republican if you run the 6 for the brits.

Principled man. Never ran the 6 for the brits. Never sat with the german royal lady for tea. Everything he said came to pass.

Hey Gerry listen up. School is in session.

Modern day Provisional Sinn Fein is an establishment party. Its been over 20 years of the GFA and a Free Ireland isn't even close. What army dumps its weapons without its goal being acheived?

MI5 Agent

But McGuinness is lying.

Ruairi was very admirable. Getting rid of abstentionism made sense but Adams, McGuinness and co were shitbag sellouts.

He never forgot his father anyway, poor Gerry

Meanwhile the movement was riddled with agents.. enough said

"....ashes"

He was a handsome man Gerry even in his last years

Remember Clinton rubbing McGuiness's coffin....all a creep show by the creeps

He'd still be fighting if he had the support

What a man 🇮🇪🍀👍🙏💚

Rip hero, you knew the truth, spoke it too

At 5 12 he said he leads a most revolutionary force in Irish history?Who gave the oration at Marty funeral???I rest my case....

Ruairi O was a purest, but not a realist. I liked him and his drive for a pure republican position. The IRA and Sinn Fein by 1986 was infiltrated by spies and the people were getting tired. When you have to admit that you cannot defeat the Brits by military means, you have a duty to talk. The Brits also knew that they could not defeat the IRA and told Martin and Gerry that they were not married to holding onto the 6 counties. That left room for negotiations. The Officials became the small ineffective Workers Party, so they entered constitutional politics anyway. Sinn Fein now may head both the Republic and the 6 counties. They gave up on radicalism for control of gov't. That does not feel good but it is prgmatic. Winning by military means might also have produced control over gov't ,either way you have to appeal to enough Irish men and women to make it work and the Provos did not have that kind of support. Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness both knew that from the inside out.

I alway had liked Ruairi O Bradaigh's he was a purist, but ultimately it was not a winning strategy. The IRA either Official or Provisional, did not have enough to defeat the British militarily and visa versa. Without the capacity to beat them militarily, a political settlement is the only answer. It is as simple as that. By 1986 the PIRA and Provo Sinn Fein was infiltrated and were having secret talks with Britain. The Brits at this time made it clear that they do not wish to hold onto the north at any cost, but could not leave based on a military defeat. Gerry Adams never hid the fact that he believed in a political settlement. He wrote about it in several books. Sinn Fein as a whole made the choice to give up the armalite for the ballot box. Talking was the only way to go and spreading republicanism or constitutional nationalism from the inside. The sad thing is radicalism is lost in the mix. I always respected Ruairi O . The Officials went away for lack of support and became the small Worker's Party. On the other hand Provisional Sinn Fein has put itself in a position to lead both in the north and the Republic.Unfortunately that means giving up on being a radical party and becoming more mainstream to win votes. Ireland is now a modern European country and there is no going back to 1969.

LMAO I Love this. Poor Jim, he gets called out so hard here by Toby.

They don’t make them like ROB anymore

Rauri O'Bloodbath. Full of sound and fury and never tired of the bloodletting. The people tired of it before he did. The graveyards ran out of space.

How right he was

I heard this when it first aired on NPR's Selected Shorts maybe thirty years ago, and it hasn't lost any of its enjoyment. I got to meet Malachy (brother of Frank McCourt, who wrote Angela's Ashes) one time when we were in the city with my parents.

I have to track this down to listen every year, thanks for putting on UA-cam!

What a wonderful character. RIP

I wish I'd be certain of what I knew then an d definitely knew later. Mc Guinness would have been outed with the truth. J118 THE BIGGEST INFORMER IN THE HISTORY OF THE IRA
