IRELAND logically support the withdrawal Just a few miles across the Irish Sea, comrades, there is a Britain has the blood of hundreds of thousands of Irish trapped vehicles around the city, bringing traffic to a halt.
Many Catholic workers at the hospital attended the funeral of the man from the Shankhill-at least some of them because they feared that the UVF would launch a reprisal attack on hospital workers.
Paisley responded predictably by pointing his finger at the unarmed hospital security staff and alleging that they must have been complicit in the murder.
