elected as a SF councillor in Newry?

This is the first that I've heard of this and it doesn't seem true. Ark [[1]] has one SF councillor elected in Newry in 1985 and 1989 but its a Brendan Curran. None of the surrounding councils (Armagh, Banbridge or Down) have him elected either so unless someone comes up with a citation for that I'll remove it. Valenciano 10:28, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He never stood as an election candidate. He didn't endear himself to the SF leadership when he called Gerry Adams a 'Stick' at a Republican funeral, plus his job as a customs officer meant he didn't really have the right image as a candidate either. I'll remove it now. The article is something I'm working on (amongst many other things), but Collins' book not having an index slows it down slightly. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 02:56, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this article 'One Night in Hackney'. I think it's very balanced and detailed (without being excessively detailed). I read Collins's book a few years back and found it powerful and thought provoking. Quite unlike anything else I'd previously read on The Troubles. Currently beginning Toby Harnden's 'Bandit Country'. From: 'Wikipediafan'.
