I wonder if Martin Mc Guiness will now instigate and enquiry into all the atrocites that were wreaked by the IRA....and whether he will issue an apology for the innocent who were killed in the many bombings......Manchester and Brighton spring immediately to mind.
Like Jaysay, I stick by my original feelings on these apologies.......they mean nothing, because they were not issued by those who were responsible for the crime......and they devalue the impact of a true apology.
