Pro-IRA and sectarian attacks? Any proof for this?

[edit] Tactical voting in 2005 election

The Unionist people in Foyle really saved Durkan and the SDLP. I hope he remembers that. I added that to the article. -- Rebelstrike 20:33, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Very badly written.

"The SDLP victory has been interpreted as a humiliation for Sinn Féin given the high profile they gave to winning this seat."

Twas hardly humiliating.

Not as humiliating as the SDLP's fall from grace anyway.

That sentence needed removing as it was very POV. Ben W Bell 16:21, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Religion

Why do editors think it is necessary to mention that he is a catholic, I have seen this in a few articles on Irish politicans, it seems like a sectarian headcount.--padraig3uk 13:30, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
