[edit] I.R.A.

The allegations of supporting a paramilitary group (IRA) and being involved in a fight are serious. Could someone verify this??Blnguyen 02:25, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Googling got me a trivia quiz claiming he donated to the IRA, and also an article in The Age which indicates a (less sinister) interest in The Troubles. Anyone able to provide a cite for claims near the end about a fight? Andjam 12:23, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Brereton very directly and unambiguously and unequivocally stated on an Australian "national television" programme (Channel Nine's "Sixty Minutes") that he had made donations (in excess of $10,000 Australian) to the IRA.

[edit] I.R.A. Support

He donated to Sinn Fein as I recall, not the provisional IRA.

[edit] Mark Yeates

220.236.45.162 04:57, 27 May 2006 (UTC) i change the link that took you to the article of mark yeates who is a soccer player who was born 4 years before the 89 grand final. i don't think it's him... i think the name is correct though.

[edit] Dermott Brereton senior

Why is there no mention of his taxi driver father's suicide before a trial could be conducted into his alleged sexual assaults on a handicapped young woman?

If someone was inclined to do so, they could perhaps put a seperate wiki entry in about his father and that scandal. I personally don't think it's worth doing so. --58.175.60.129 02:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
