Capitol Hill, Washington DC. October 4, 2002 — ” New beginning’
where are you”‘, about sums up the Irish-American reaction to the
police raid on Sinn Fein offices.
” The new beginning to policing, promised by Patten, clearly has not
happened”, said Father Sean Mc Manus, President, of the Capitol
Hill-based Irish National Caucus. ” Rather, it appears that the old,
sectarian and anti-Catholic RUC never went away, you know.”
” If there was any doubt among Irish-Americans about the wisdom
of Sinn Fein’s judgement in not joining the Police Board, then there
can be little doubt left now”, explained Father Mc Manus explained
.”The shocking police raids will demonstrate to Irish-Americans —
and their friends in the US Congress — that the police in Northern
Ireland continue to be a major danger, and threat to the
peace-process. Instead of protecting Catholics from the systematic
campaign of violence and murder, which is incited by the extreme
positions of Unionist leaders , the police , ever true to form,
launch raids on Sinn Fein.Can anyone miss the irony here?”
” ‘PSNI/RUC must go’, will now be the call of Irish-Americans”,
Father Mc Manus concluded.
