Quotes by Richard McAuley

“This is a nonsensical position weve found ourselves in, and were determined for it to stop. In one moment were in the White House and Gerry is having his photo taken with the president of the United States...the president of the country is greeting Gerry Adams like a long-lost friend...then a few hours later at the airport, youre being pulled aside for this rigorous, ridiculous special screening..”

“Nothing that happened 30 years ago can justify the treatment of Adams today.”

“Every U.S. official we speak to agrees the policy makes no sense, but the buck gets passed from State to Justice to Homeland Security, and becomes impossible to tie down. This might make a difference.”
