Shocked members of the public then bore witness to screamed threats to shoot the IRSP members as they were forcefully dragged from their vehicle and thrown both to the ground and across the bonnet of the car. It was only after some considerable time that these masked assailants were to be identified as members of the PSNI’s Tactical Support Group and the others dressed in civilian clothing to have been undercover British intelligence forces, known to be operating in Nationalist areas throughout the six counties. It was clear from the onset that these people were part of a pre-planned and carefully executed operation against publicly recognised members of the IRSP. A Party that has been in recent days instrumental in bringing about the declaration by the INLA to disband, verifiably putting arms beyond use and who remain engaged in further talks central to their transition into the political process being solidified. To the Republican Network for Unity yesterday’s action stands as further evidence, if any were needed, that British covert military activity is both current and active on the streets of the six counties. That the PSNI remain the same old RUC in nature, outlook and attitude. The RUC/PSNI is an irreformable British paramilitary force that should be disbanded with the same vigour and haste that the politicians here wish to see those republican and loyalists doing.” Statement ends.

Kevin McQuillan has used his position within the RNU to have a dig at the RSM and the RNU will be very much aware of this and this is an internal matter for them. There is more to this than meets the eye. « Last Edit: Nov 5, 2009, 5:09pm by Derry IRP » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged http://www.bebo.com/derryirsp * Deleted by Bebo "Let the fight go on!" - INLA Volunteer and 1981 hungerstriker Patsy O'Hara Stephen Dedalus Full Member member is offline Joined: May 2008 Posts: 114 Karma: 3 Re: RNU statement re: attacks on IRSP « Reply #3 on Nov 5, 2009, 5:08pm » I assumed so. I think this has no place in a statement condemning the actions of the PSNI.

The guy clearly has an agenda towards the IRSM and has the balls to put his name to it, good luck to him.

Kevin McQuillen was, as I understand it, one of the key figures in helping the RSM survive through the IPLO conflict of the 80's and the Torney conflict in the nineties. If it is being said by the INLA that Bap is indeed in the pay of the Brits, then I think a full statement needs to be forthcoming from the Movement. Disturbing stuff indeed. cara I very much doubt that the IRSM will bow to pressure from anyone. Whilst i respect your opinions you must also see things for what they are. Bap decided to up the anti by talking about shite that had nothing to do with the incident at hand nor about anything factual. He bite off more than he could chew. The guy has an anti-IRSM agenda and used the RNU's name to cover for his agenda. I believe that the RNU need to pay close attention to what has been said because to offer cover to this person does them no favours. Trying to bring this movement into disrepute by reporting on shite that is untrue leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. I believe that he should desist from his digs at our movement. We aren't a punch bag for him or anyone.

Yaya you're right the movement isnt a punching bag for Bap Mc Quillan or anyone else.
