Thank you for your interview. Love from Canada
It’s great to see an interview of Adams where he is allowed to speak and not constantly attacked, and put on the defensive. This is an Excellent interview by paddy for that reason. The stepping stone Collins was talking about was the inclusion of Sinn Fein within Stormont via the peace process. Brexit is possibly a stepping stone towards a United Ireland, thanks to the work all those who negotiated in the peace process and fought for justice and Republicanism, and the ending of the troubles.
A United Ireland dont you mean a total take over of Ireland by the EU fuck sake wake up
Look at Brexit, we can leave Europe anytime we want without starting an armed campaign
He was allowed to speak about his brother raping his niece but he didn't to save his reputation lmao scumbag

Maith sibh Gerry & Paddy. Beidh lá na fíor Ghaeil.
Class to see a man from the south with so much passion Paddy lad. Often you find nowadays that the people from the south, albeit a minority I would imagine, are completely oblivious to the north and think that we are a part of the UK by choice. You wouldn't believe how many times I've had people from across the border call me a brit, because I happen to have been born 2 miles from an imaginary border that was imposed on my people. When I had great grandfathers who fought in the Old IRA, for independence, when it was also my ancestors that had to live under the penal laws, and when my home town was completely decimated by the same famine that ravaged all of Ireland, as well as all of the shite that we have had to put up with since the 12th century and beyond. It is an absolute privilege to be Irish, and nothing saddens me more than to see that people have forgotten that. Go raibh míle maith agat, mo chara!
No its untrue. My father is south and he brought me up to believe 1000% IRA.
I was a British soldier from Scotland. I only joined up for a job. The more I learned the more I agreed with the Irish people. My views weren't really welcome by most of my colleagues.
@Fluoride pickled paddys Put it this way. I've more in common than any working class Catholic, Protestant, Muslim etc.... Than I do with anyone in Westminster. They want us fighting with each other so they can exploit us on every level.
@@bigt4241 what irish people do you agree with . There is a lot of different opinions of many subjects in Ireland. If I said I agree with the Scots. IT Wouldn't make sense .
's probably talking about the people he was sent to deal with!
Free staters calling Adams a murderer whilst glorifying the Old IRA who fought British rule with arms: Nothing short of the worst hypocrisy. Don't forget they brought peace on someone else's terms and at a great political cost. A great deal of respect needs to be had for Adams and McGuinness, who did not choose to go to war; war came to them. People in the comments need to remember what happened in Ballymurphy and Derry before they point fingers. Northern nationalists did not start the conflict, but they broke their backs trying to end it.
Ruairi O'Ceallaigh as someone from Northern Ireland the vast majority of people have not even a tiny bit of respect for Gerry, complete lying treacherous bastard. More respect for McGuinness atleast he could confess and be comfortable with who and what he was.
He's a fucking traitor, must be very secure in the state of mind yer ok when ye have time too write two books while a wars on , scap Donaldson McGuiness j118 an his fruit brother wullie
The mistake their making is telling saoradh and their supporters to simply go away, sinn fein were once told to go away and i don't even support saoradh but talk to them, give them a voice, we want peace as 1 32 county united independent nation
Superb and insightful episode

U just know paddy has 3 pints then put on the ra tunes

Great podcast paddy. As a falls road man myself i can say we have a great love and respect for Gerry Adams. He burdened a lot for his community. If not for the likes of Gerry Adams we would of been eradicated by an orange state. While the rest of Ireland and Britain turned their backs on inequality men and women like Adams resisted. TAL
bullshit,Gerry is a rat commie traitor
Irish brother the only traitors in my eyes are the people who turned their back on their fellow countrymen whilst they were being murdered and burned from their houses by loyalists mobs, the British army and the RUC. Take your pish elsewhere freestate prick.
He cared more about his reputation than his niece literally getting raped hes a scumbag
I’m an American who has come to see both Gerry Adams and Martin McGuiness as heroes. I hope that his countrymen come to realize how much Gerry Adams has done for them and hopefully this will not be posthumously as it seems to be with Martin McGuiness.
Poor paddy hasn’t a breeze about Irish history. He’s winging it with Gerry
Like most SF fanboys he's not much more than a Provo cheerleader. More power to his bollox is all it is. Support The National Party if you want the real deal. kzhead.info/tools/xgY69mo_nUGuCDo1yPygng.htmlvideos
UP NP and justin & james however, out of the EU
thats one thing that pisses me off about them. but i can put up with this if we got our borders back in our own hands( for a start).
Paddy like many Sinn Fein party members and many Irish Republicans fail to grasp the intricacies of what being a Republican means. Sinn Fein lacks integrity by their insistence on including Irish Nationalists and not Irish Republicans, and failure to differentiate one from the other. It’s left to the Irish people do decide and while I can take Adams seriously, as for Paddy there, he is a nationalist, and he visibly represents his community’s ignorance far more than he represents their issues. Best of luck to him though.
Vote for the National Party
Well done paddy.. Great podcast .. Keep it up

@@seanfallon7311 " change story" wat you talking about
@Ace Ventura Animal Based Detective Marty was a bomber, murdering psychopath who In his later years tried to deny ever being in the PIRA after 73 just like the compulsive liar Gerry Adams. If these scumbags thought bombing and murdering would get their UI they'd still be doing it. " he knew the people of the north could govern themselves" IT was Marty who brought the institutions down trying to force a unwanted Irish language act on the people. A language nobody can talk or have any interest in learning. That's of course assuming there not paid British informants

If you mean killing more of your own during the troubles than the british army and helping to flood the south with immigrants then yes hes an absolute legend. Yeah best leader ever 👍👍🙄
Jack The Film Fanatic exactly man
Gerry looking older and getting closer to meeting the Judge of all the earth. Gerry’s definition of justice will soon be weighed up by the one to whom we all give account. He will soon find out that giving his life to Marxism was a futile and worthless pursuit. A very smart man for sure, but sadly deluded. Interesting interview. Always good to listen to those with whom you disagree.
McD 1916 Happy to engage your worldview anytime. I suspect you think you are coming from a superior understanding of reality and with a superior set of values. Let’s just call it what it is Marxism. The ideology that kills humans beings by the millions. If you want to engage let’s show some intelligence not the usual empty nonsense.
Gerry where is your cook book 😉 Mr Adams a legend.....
Fair play paddy, another great guest as always👍
Great to see Gerry Adams on the podcast cheers paddy you’re a legend 🇮🇪

Age fucks us all up
Michael Flood I get the joke...
@@jonathanmcaleece9834 showing your age
I am an Englishman, no IRA supporter but I recognise the logically of a united Ireland and I strongly believe in the concept of self-determination of peoples. I have enormous respect for this man. I am sure he had to do things in his life that he now regrets. I am sure there are soldiers all over the world who have the same regrets. In many ways, he lost his youth to the violence as happens in war. He is no saint but he is also no devil either. To truly have peace we must shake hands with former foes and arrive at understanding. Much respect Mr Adams
As the son of a dad who was murdered by a Republican terror gang on Father's Day, not to mention the multiple relations shot and blown to pieces, I have nothing but dismay when listening to supporters of violence, be they Republican, or, indeed Loyalist!!! These people have bombed and mamed their way to the table throughout the years, and now paid handsomely for 'sitting together '!! The 'Irish problem ' was in full flow well before I was born, and will no doubt still be raging long after I'm 6ft under! I will say this though... If indeed there is a 32 county all-Ireland (I can't see it), you may as well turn the clock back 60 years, for I feel that once more blood will flow!! I know that on my death-bed I shall have numerous regrets, but I'll rest easy knowing that I have no human blood on my hands!! Will Gerry and the like have that same peace!? We all know what the answer to that is.......
They all pretend it never happened
@@Billy_MacBilly Unionists pretend they didnt create a bigoted, orange state that denied Catholics rights and lead to the violence in the first place.

Moíria Cahill?
Brilliant
we irish are being replaced no joke we no longer have a say as to what we can do in our own country
We're not replaceable! Irish isn't a colour or a genetic lineage. This land is special! Incidentally, we have populated the States and United kingdom. Its their offspring we deal with now! The Greeks referred to us as the most ancient and when the force of Graeco-roman influence came to our shores in the guise of Scandinavians or British they called us barbarians. Romans said this of the Goths too. A very sophisticated Germanic people that sacked Rome. We are as patient as the rock we stand on! Slainte!
The unborn have no say at least weggggot to live
Well Gerry doesn't give a fuck he works for Europe and sold out the Irish people from the Trobles days yet people still.dont see this! Blind cunts
Absolutely amazing. Paddy, you've done something special here mo chara.
Did you know that 1 million ethnic Germans were killed or disappeared to gulags from Czechoslovakia and surrounding countries in the two years after the end of World War II? When have you ever seen an American/British movie or documentary about that? Answer - never.
Read a book called "Other Losses" by James Bacque. That will tell you everything about how the "allies" treated the Germans that surrendered after May 1945. Instead of treating these prisoners under the protocals of the Geneva convention, they were re-classified as "Disarmed Enemy Forces". Then they could do as they pleased. Dwight D Eisenhower said to his wife that he despised Germans! Almost 1 million were confined to open air camps in the Rhineland. Most of these prisoners died of starvation and exposure. We never hear about any of this do we.
@@Smudgeroon74 Except the book is well known for being full of shit. Just because a book says something doesn't means it's true. A historical commission investigated the claims made it the book and he's a total liar. He misrepresented data, lied and omitted actual facts from his book.
@@Smudgeroon74 read that myself, there were no winners in that war whatsoever and the allies were up to there necks in attrocities especially against the normal German people
Why do people fear change?
Sinn Fein : Brits out, Africa in.
I suppose America should have just forced the irish to stay and starve in the many famines throughout the 1800s then?
Brits out isn’t about getting people of british descent out it’s about ireland being politically free and independent
Sayc Clifton piffle.
@Brandon fairy tale Brits out Africans in
the master you can disagree with the eu and that’s a separate argument but just understand you’ll have less of a say in your trade relations with Europe that our economy is heavily dependent upon. Meaning we’ll have less autonomy if we follow the Brits example
Looking laid back paddy. Don't lose your cool.

Read adams history with the IRA hes a monster
Gerry Adams whatever you think of him has always been articulate whatever his audience e.g when he was set up on the Late Late Show that time Paddy by contrast .. and too much of a sycophant
johnny cash it was sometime ago but all of the guests in the panel turned in Adams, Gay Byrne wouldn’t shake his hand. So set up in the the sense that the other panelists were clearly hostile to Adams and all had a go at him. Not saying that they did not raise serious issues but it was all rather one sided
Gerry Adams is a great man god bless him .. up the republic
He is not he is a liar
Great podcast paddy and Gerry, Gerrys been an icon for us in the north of ireland , great to see people from the south giving him the praise he deserves, not throwing everyone under one blanket from the south but a small majority of southerners look at us as farniners, dont release what our older generation done for the island and continue to do 🇮🇪 EIRE
Jack The Film Fanatic say what drivel u want he made change & welcomed peace helped towards the Good Friday Agreement
If some body hit you a dig in the face face and your retaliate, is self defense or assault , you literally have to spell it out to studied narrow minded people like yourself , freedom fighter no terrorist
Jack The Film Fanatic He may have been on the council although after the peak of the troubles Adams went towards peace you can not deny that. All sides in the troubles have blood on their hands like paisley, robinson, loyalist gangs, british government with state collusion. Would you ever imagine Paisley & Mcguinness in government together? that is prove we can all move on & work together
Jack The Film Fanatic you biased fool there is a photo of you Robinson holding a VZ-58 rifle& Paisley instilled fear, bigotry & sectarianism into loyalists he started the war with that silver tongue of his just like Hitler he opened the floodgate
Behind an old tomb stone he cowered with fright
