I struggle with the situation. Martin McGuinness – deputy First Minister, former Minister of Education WTF.
The guy was stopped with 200lb of explosives, involved in torture and lured Hegarty back to be killed.
I went to Belfast Royal Academy and still remember when he came to address the school assembly. When he started speaking the whole school and about 50% of the teachers turned their backs while he spoke. He laughed and they got threatened with expulsion.
Paisley, though a bit of a mouth, was a good local Councillor. Girlfriend (Catholic) came from Ballymena and had some trouble getting her University grant sorted out. He waded in and jumped all over the LEA and it got sorted. Not as big a bigot (!) as you might believe.
