The Supermarkets up the North wont be very happy with this happening. Who will want to travel up North now?
There has been a lot more gangland killings in Dublin does this stop people going to Dublin?

- No because this is simply scum killing scum. Travelling to the North is now a different matter if the loyalists decide to get involved.
I had hoped to visit the North at some stage in the future, but I wouldn't at all feel safe going up there if this continues. I wouldn't be too relaxed driving up there with a Southern number plate.
People need to get a grip. Three people have been murdered and that is tragic but you have a much larger chance of been knocked down crossing the road than being killed in the north. There is no sane reason for avoiding the north.

it's not just the idea of bombings and direct targeting though...i'd be more concerned about having my tires slashed or windscreen smashed or something if i parked in the wrong place...who needs the hassle? i was planning on doing my monthly shopping trip up there this weekend but am now having second thoughts.

i'll admit i was ill at ease when i took a wrong turn off a belfast street recently and ended up in a red, white and blue estate. personally i think all that painting of kerbs, flags etc should be outlawed in both nationalist and loyalist areas. and take down all those gable end murals while they're at it...that stuff just breeds incitement.
I'm from the greater Belfast area, but I've lived in Cork for a few years and have a Cork registered car. When I first came up to see my parents I was a little concerned about what reaction I would get. I was a little worried about scratched paint etc. In fact I've seen nothing and my car has remained unmolested, and this is despite me getting lost in Belfast and driving around both Nationalist and Loyalist areas trying to find the westlink!
I was SO reassured by the interview given by Loyalist, Frankie Gallagher, on Morning Ireland this morning. It was truly amazing to hear him say what he said about Sinn Féin and about The DUP also. Not to mention his reference to his Study Group's research of Republicanism with a view to trying to fully understand it.
Didn't hear it Lex - what was that all about?
I must say I'm always very interested in and encouraged by the moderate/more intellectual versions of loyalism. I think David Irvine was a sad loss - I know committed republicans who respected him.
