I agree tom, There is a lot of mixed feelings about him. No point in letting this thread continue.
It serves no purpose.

What nonsense. We should discuss and share views in a respectful and appropriate manner

You are entitled to hold Republican views if you wish. Just found your previous contribution bizarre

Well he was a friend as he allowed a knocking shop over the Sinn Fein Office in Dundalk, a friend of the forum he was and what fun was had because of him

RIP Martin McGuinness

He seemed like a lovely person and growing up in Derry during those times would make people do a lot of things. He did a lot for peace and it's sad that he had to die so young.

Not as young as many of the victims of the violence and bombing that took place here and in the UK

Interesting the different points of views on here. And to argue that Martin McGuinness didn't have blood on his hands fighting for something he felt passionate about, would be futile. But I would have far more respect for a man that was willing to put his own life on the line for his beliefs than the likes of Tony Blair, George Bush and Barack Obama, who hide behind bureaucracy, and phony wars, all under the guise of national security. Who here can say Michael Collins didn't have blood on his hands either!!
I believe History will be kind to Martin McGuinness and he was instrumental to bringing peace to northern Ireland and that will be his legacy.

PS: I didn't know Martin McGuinness personally, unlike my fellow forum member Tom!!
