| Campbell hits out at TV show over ‘IRA propaganda’
Published on Sunday 15 January 2012 10:27
A DOCUMENTARY aired on an Irish language channel which “justified” IRA terrorism has prompted a DUP MP to write a letter of complaint to the Republic’s government.
The TG4 programme – the first in a series – featured Rose Dugdale, an English aristocrat who later became an active member of an IRA unit in the border areas.
During the documentary, Dugdale spoke about her attempts to bomb Strabane RUC station using milk churns packed with explosives and also the raid on Russborough House in 1974, in which valuable artwork was stolen and the owner beaten up.
DUP MP Gregory Campbell has written to Pat Rabbitte TD, the minister for the Department of Communications, which provides funding to the channel.
In the letter, Mr Campbell says that IRA terrorism was portrayed as “justifiable and even necessary” in the show.
He also said that Dugdale was referred to as a “soldier” and as a member of “Oglaigh na h’Eireann”, which he claimed attempted to equate the PIRA with the legitimate state forces of the Irish Republic.
Victims of IRA violence, he said, were given no focus by the show, which he pointed out was available to watch in Northern Ireland.
“It is of grave concern to many people that this propaganda might be allowed to continue,” he said.
Mr Campbell asked the Irish government minister “to outline clearly where your department stands on progamming which clearly attempts to legitimise the IRA’s campaign of terrorism and engage in a process of revisionism”.
Responding to earlier criticism, TG4 deputy director general Pádhraic Ó Ciardha said the station was standing by both the Dr Rose Dugdale programme and the rest of the Mná an IRA programmes.
TUV leader Jim Allister also said the programme was “consistent with the ongoing sanitising of terrorists”.

| Was watching a programme on RTE the other night, featuring the Bloody Sunday families. Talk about one-sided propaganda, to me it strikes of the Irish conditioning their people with republican propaganda but then supposedly the Irish want nothing to do with Northern Ireland (are at least that's what we're told!).

| Deep down the big majority of Catholics support the ira. Whatever they do,whatever murders they commit (and they are reported to be responsible to the killing of at least 67 children) the Catholics will support them. The ira have them in the palm of their hand and the ira knows that. So this means the ira can do anything under the sun and they will not find fault with them. In a way they are a docile people without backbone who will always fall into line at the ira's bequest. This is seen in the vote for sinn fein and the contrasting vote for political parties connected to loyalist paramilitaries. I think a lot of this is connected to them being Roman Catholics. They can go to church confession and get absolution, and then go out and murder again. Scotland is in a situation where they are now pushing for independence with at least some chance of it coming about. This was achieved without the bloody slaughter which irish people seem to like. Why is this? Well one thing stands out right away. Ireland is a Roman Catholic country. Scotland is a Protestant country.

| Very true, you see it for yourself at times, when the mask slips and boys have a few to many drinks and you soon start to hear the odd wee comment of “up the ra” or a wee aul irish song about the boys fighting for old Irelands freedom and indeed, the vote for Sinn Fein shows that clearly as for those who say, well look how badly Sinn Fein poll down-South (well they don’t poll badly) but the reality is some of the party’s there up against are the same as those who founded the PIRA and helped harbour the PIRA and put so much political pressure on the British government.
But when you’re trying to convince yourself of something that isn’t true, it’s not a good idea to think of the facts!
