1: “Sinn Féin regards itself as on the far left and does not engage in attacks on recent immigrants. However, its persistent anti-British rhetoric serves the same purpose of whipping up atavistic nationalist feelings which are every bit as dangerous to the values of this State as the anti-immigrant sentiments of far-right European parties are to their countries”.
2: “There never has really been any contrition [by Sinn Féin] and also to a large extent they want to shove down the throats of a new generation a narrative about the atrocities that were carried out which in my view serves to poison future generations”.
3: “Continuing scrutiny of the influences behind Sinn Féin, hidden or otherwise, is justified too.
