"(incomprehensible gobbeldygook).....I want to welcome all of you here to this very unique gathering, the Ard Fheis of the only all-Ireland political party on this island......"

Well it would be rather silly being an all-Ireland political party on any other gawdamm Island but actually it isint even true.

The Greens and The Socialist Party have offices and run candidates in both Northern Ireland and the Republic

"Sinn Fein has become the largest pro-Agreement party in the north"
Not true. The Ulster Unionist Party are actually the largest pro agreement party in Northern Ireland.

"And most importantly the right of Northerners to have representation and participation in political institutions in Dublin continues to be withheld"
Why should people living in Northern Ireland elect representetives to the parliament of a state in which we dont pay taxes to or arent affected by the laws and policies of ?

"Unionists fear that if given the chance republicans and nationalists would treat them as second-class citizens. We would not, and we will not. The days of second-class citizens are over"

Ummmmmm REALLLLY well what about.....

"neo-unionist elements in the south serve only their own narrow interests which in some cases are fundamentally anti-republican and pro-partitionist"

Since he obviously doesnt have much time for Unionists (Neo or otherwise) in the South why would Northern ones expect to be treated any differently
And whats all this "pro-partitionist" nonsense surely a NEO-unionist (as opposed to an "Ulster" Unionist) dislikes "partition" as much as Mr Adams (albeit from an opposing perspective) ?

"Over 27,000 people are languishing on waiting lists. Staff in Accident and Emergency departments are struggling to cope"
Of course those waiting lists could be a little bit shorter if people werent being admitted to hospital having been beaten, kneecapped etc

"The downside of the 100 years of Sinn Féin is that we have yet to achieve our objectives"
Ummm the objectives of Sinn Fein 1905 are very different from those of Sinn Fein 2004 in fact in its firsr decade Shinners didnt even misuse the term "Republican"

But the best bit of all if his choice of terminology to describe the opposing criminal gangs in Northern Ireland one lot are "Unionist death squads" which is fair enough but rather than referring to their oponents as "Nationalist death squads" he chooses the term "army"

Now unless Im very much mistaken
1) This speech took place in Dublin and was broadcast on National televison
2) The Irish constitution states there is only one army in the state and
3) Referring to any other organisation in the Republic as an "army" is legally classed as treasonable sedition and carries a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 40 years

So which Garda station should I ring ?
