@mooreholmes24
Actually cannot believe you’ve thought about, written & published this.
‘Forfeited’? Wow! According to who? You?
How did you come to the conclusion that the CNR community ‘forfeited’ their place in NI?
Was ‘our place’ in NI conditional upon how you expected them to behave?
@carlalockhart
Why don’t you shut your partisan noise & take accountability for your organisations role in the founding of the Ulster Resistance?
Acting like you’re some sort of upstanding moral arbiter of what’s right & what’s wrong.
Own your own wrongdoings.
@mooreholmes24
Not disputing your recollection of history.
To suggest / imply that you casually get to decide the condition(s) upon which Nationalists ‘forfeited’ from NI is quite illuminating, Moore.
Not having a go for the sake of it & respect your outlook on life; this tho, is bonkers.
@little_pengelly
Credit where credit is due.👏
These gestures are becoming more & more commonplace & the sincerity within the gestures is becoming more authentic.
A healthy practice between our traditions.
Noted & appreciated.
Thank You. 🤝
@SJAMcBride
Sam, you are 1 of the finest journos in Ireland. Makes the publishing of this tweet all the more disappointing. The tying of civic figures & children to an IRA 19 years disbanded is very, very peculiar indeed.
Not much scrutiny on unionist mischief, not as if material lacking…
@R4FcMuK7k8IhUKz
Nobody is taking anything from you.
That would imply that it was yours to take from in the 1st place.
It’s everyone’s & democracy will decide it’s arrangement.
@SJAMcBride
I’m of the Nat/Rep tradition, and believe you to be one of the finest journalists in the country. A possible solution might be to get the political leadership of Nat parties to directly address this, as in looking directly into a camera & directly reprimanding the perpetrators.

@bundeeaki12
I just watched a few snippets of you and your career.Very impressive path in life you’ve chosen.Exemplary conduct towards people is so apparent to see.Big love from Ireland🇮🇪👍
@mikenesbittni
You are a kind & fair man, but why can’t you turn your attentions to helping us build this country: Ireland. Shouldn’t the country of Ireland reap the benefits of all of its people working respectfully, together in tandem, instead of this playground pettiness endured in the North
@shaneodoherty
The organisation you’re now sniping at has helped Irish people develop socially, physically & mentally; enriching their lives through community & bonding counties through sporting rivalry & craic. And here you’re retrospectively trying to run it into the ground? Why?
@IAPonomarenko
The resilience and courage of your countrymen & women & the innovation you have shown collectively as a nation is awe-inspiring & is already being etched in history!👍
@JayBasra2
Jay, respectfully, what comes to mind when you see this chart? Are you of the opinion that Irish people should have their nation divided up against their will?
The receipts of Unionist wrongdoing are plentiful.
Ireland United > Ireland Divided.
@KilclooneyJohn
Blatant media hatchet jobs on Nats/Reps might work well in unionist circles, but in middle ground & Republican circles, such partisanship goes down lead balloon-like.
Shoehorning IRA into all/any discourse wearing ever more thin Mr. Taylor.
@pgal10
This is the most heartbreaking video I’ve ever set eyes on.The taxi driver is an absolute credit to for that excuse of a human being I am literally lost for words and a little less proud to be Irish.I wish the driver could be contacted and apologised to.
@McManusDavid
Why are you frequently spiteful towards fellow United Irelanders?
It’s far from a good look.
Huge part of Irish Unity is community between all of the people of Ireland.
Please do better in this regard.
Northern Nationalist.
@samuelluckhurst
Ashley Young gave plenty of evidence against Bayern Munich in CL 5 years ago of how inept he is at this level yet starts at lb at 33 and makes another mistake that leads to a goal under pressure he created for himself!😡😡😡😡😡
@richardtgarland
There can be no doubt, you’ve represented your community with great frequency & courage. I see yourself & D.Beattie doing the lions share of troubleshooting for Unionist community. The mental gymnastics must be tiring, but you’ve been a reliable representative throughout.
@BeattieDoug
You’ve been consistent with calls outs of this nature; fair dues DB, fair dues. 👏
The sectarian psyche needs to be taught out of our population.
@BeattieDoug
Whilst members of the unionist community apply the final touches to their sectarian bonfires in the form of our national flag simultaneously young culturally nationalist men & women will be off to Uni this coming Sept freshly politicised ready to diligently end this rancid Union.
@MarkCarruthers7
@bbctheview
And something much healthier for both traditions will take its place: an agreed Ireland!
Bury the animosities once & for all & build anew together! 🤝
@SorchaEastwood
We are perceived abroad as a friendly, welcoming nation & yet, between ourselves, we cannot seem to shake off the unnecessary hostilities that divide us.
@realZacTC
I don’t have a religious contention to make.
You’re exasperated by this ‘no alternative’ phrase & I am with you on that. What I’m saying though is, if you’re exasperated by MO’N using it, then surely you’re equally annoyed at N.Dodds using it?
Fair?…
@realZacTC
Unionists have dined out on the ‘no alternative’ phrase for 19 months. Here’s a senior member of your party using the exact same phrase well in advance of MO’N.
I hope SF continue to apologise. Maybe you could ask the same of Mr. Dodds. 👍
@shaneodoherty
Your provocative posts fly in the face of the ongoing work ordinary citizens undertake to nurture relations.
Are you immune to writing about such developments, or is it that those things don’t garner enough controversy?
@News_Letter
The degree of desperation to be found in trying to tie people to an IRA long gone from the scene is truly astounding. It’s all you have & the general public realise this in full.
@boganella1
Don’t know you, but find your fostering of dogs of all kinds to be a wonderful pastime/service. You’re providing an invaluable service for the dogs & in turn garnering joy & memories that enrich your life.
Say hi to Leeloo, from Ireland!🇮🇪👏
@News_Letter
Why aren’t you, B.Lowry, scrutinising your own patronising ways? A big house unionist overseeing a paper that continually tries to demonise my community & it’s many members. Should we Nats, continually ask of anyone pro-British to condemn all murders carried out of us Irish?
@MiamiShowband
And you’ve unwittingly inspired members of todays generation through your exemplary conduct & that my friend is the most beautiful of things. 🤝👍
@timmckane
A merging of two tremendously talented traditions within an agreed Ireland seems a MUCH healthier societal & political arrangement as opposed to maintaining a complex sectarian hotbed; a hotbed chronically detrimental to all of its people.
🤝
@AllBlacks
You’re an absolutely amazing leaders at rugby clearly but if the rest of your country is a reflection of your players then I can only come to the conclusion you have a very healthy society.Those men are exemplary.Congratulations from Ireland 🇮🇪👍

Why the big charade mate?
You love us really, don’t you? 😁🤝😄
@GrahamWard000
Unionist refusal to acknowledge its own wrongdoings will be countered at all turns thru the means of documented fact(s).
Your lies don’t correlate with the below information. 👇
@paulmurphy68
Listened to Thurs edition of Nolan today. 10-15 mins E.Poots contribution about Sundays Féile chant. ‘Up the RA’ galore. 4 days of radio coverage.
1 single Nat account on Twitter has multiple loyalist chants of a MUCH MORE VISCERAL nature. Zero air time.
Impartiality required.
@Cheesewright3
‘You want a UI because that’s the side you were born into’.
Pretty petty oneupmanship from a man of a certain seniority.
Aspiring to a UI is about creating the healthiest arrangement for Ireland & ALL of its people.
Ireland United > Ireland Divided 🤝
@Choyaa13
The Act of Union had zero consent never mind consultation of any Catholic, despite Catholics making up the vast majority of the country. NI’s whole history is riddled with discrimination across all sectors of society.
‘One community governed, judged & policed the other.’
@JimGamble_INEQE
You seem like a nice person, but you & your fellow unionists have a v hard time examining how your own ideology fostered in Ireland by the British is the root cause of all of these sub outworkings. Our youth won’t be long rendering your antiquated, supremacist outlook irrelevant
@PaulKel79494744
Actually it really, really isn’t Paul. This is an unlikely, worst case scenario report already offset by multiple diff economists.
Why on earth would you be against, what is an exciting & truly healthy merging of two historically hostile traditions?
@BeattieDoug
@wallyt53
Doug, you’re a top bloke, but why would you champion more segregation, more generations of subsets of people on the one island working against each other as opposed to all subsets working with each other - for the greater good - for all.
Think of all the poignant moments in UI!
@Niallmca03
@SJAMcBride
Not taking issue with any of the above.
Blatantly pro-Union media across majority of outlets in Six Counties, are being subtly & outwardly patronising towards non-unionists, tying people to IRA whilst simultaneously making out as if they themselves are whiter than white……
@BeattieDoug
@wallyt53
Maybe, not directly.
But the union nurtures sectarian attitudes; always has done. Has a woeful record in discrimination; performs as the poor man of UK in most major measurements; and doesn’t offer an equal footing of all traditions in way UI can & will.
🤝
@KilclooneyJohn
John unionists have too much to offer Ireland. Merge with your countrymen.
Into a more prosperous less controversial EU, together for the better.
A vote for NI in UK is a vote to pit future generations against each other, for the betterment of neither tradition. 🤷
@malodoherty
@Michael42683163
You purposely object to anything deemed pro-Irish to satisfy your perverse necessity for attention of any kind - good, bad or indifferent.
Plenty of criticisms can be levelled at various strands of Irish culture; your criticisms are mostly water weak, hence the push back.
@UtdClips
How can 1 player be so shocking so often including the last leg and still be picked.Years of inadequacy rewarded with more starts as CAPTAIN of MUFC.😤😤😤😤😤
@DeclanRMcC
Celtic were spirited throughout but that was the most impressive overall performance that Ange has faced since he took charge.Leipzig delivered a very tactically astute 90 min performance.
@KNEECAPCEOL
Fair play for the promotion of the Irish Language.
Please consider your approach towards those on our island who hail from the unionist tradition.
Play your part in trying to reconcile these two tremendously talented traditions.
Utilise your platform for a positive Ireland.🤝
@letsfindlisa
@dup_online
You have been absolutely immense in pursuing this injustice & you & your family command the support of all of Ireland. Sending encouragement. 👍
@wallyt53
From a young Nationalists perspective: Jim is a very astute politician & legal mind; highly skilled & possesses some personable traits & comic traits; however he doesn’t outline his vision for NI | Ireland & doesn’t do inclusion very well.
@trishdevlin
@rodneyedwards
BDMcA is my personal hero. Never have I read about someone’s life, skill set and contribution to Irish society and been so in awe. Literally spearheaded the campaign that led to the uplift in quality of life for those of a nationalist persuasion & others that faced oppression.✊
@shaneodoherty
Let’s hear it, Shane.
Why are you making it seem to your unionist audience that the GAA & all things not synonymous with unionism in Ireland are sinister.
Haven’t you sewn enough distrust between the traditions?
@murchadhfinn
Alex is a lovely man, but not once in his article has he attempted to explore the idea of nationalists & unionists organically meshing post UI & becoming allies on certain social issues.
@Choyaa13
UI offers a resetting of relations on an equal & healthier footing.
Zero discriminatory laws & a chance for both traditions to build a new & poignant Ireland, where all these historical animosities can be consigned to history & replaced by an exemplary cross community Ireland.🤝
@DialectSuspect
How do unionists make an argument to keep a financially burdensome, chronically sectarian region when a healthier alternative is on the table in the form of an agreed Ireland with auto re-entry to the EU?….
@snoxyy14
One of the most inspirational women in Irish public life & that’s saying something when Ireland produces so many women of inspiration.
Reading between the lines, she seems to be challenging / conditioning people in the Republic to embrace compromise in an agreed Ireland.
@KilclooneyJohn
What you know in your heart John, is that the healthiest arrangement for your tradition and mine, is an agreed all-Ireland, designed by all, for all.
Better to be partners in prosperity than at loggerheads for a lifetime.
💭🤝
@squinteratn
Arrange Féile next year in the same way as this, amend the song choices that cause offence (easily done) then turn the screw with increased credibility against the many sectarian practices still rife within unionist ‘culture’.
Progress will be appreciated & acknowledged. 👍

1500 strong ‘show of strength’ - no comment.

Irish history: two talented traditions waging violence on each other at all turns.
Irish Unity: a fertile opportunity to come to a poignant mature agreement that’ll underpin & nurture the well-being of both traditions.
Animosity marginalised, Ireland designed by all, for all.🤝
