Mr Martin replied: “I think through the decade of centenaries as a country, we’ve managed to remember and to enlighten and to give a more informed perspective of our very difficult and traumatic past, particularly at the time that the formation of the new state.
“In three significant speeches that I’ve given on the Treaty and the Civil War and the formation of the Free State, I’ve given a comprehensive and informed perspective on all of these issues. The murder of Sean Hales was a terrible crime.
“But certainly what happened to those four young men was not in accordance with law and, as I’ve said before, it represents murder.”
Reading up on the title gore in this sub, no doubts.
So the Taoiseach was one of four IRA leaders executed in 1922, Got it.
They seem to have got stuck between
>Taoiseach **describes** execution by Irish State of four IRA leaders in 1922 as murder
and
>Taoiseach: execution by Irish State of four IRA leaders in 1922 **w**as murder
and ended up with:
>Taoiseach execution by Irish State of four IRA leaders in 1922 as murder
They’ve updated it since.
I don’t think punctuation’s gonna pull that one back.
Well the Indo is basically a rag these days, not much better than a tabloid, so that was your first mistake.
