Sinn Fein gave Pearse McAuley a rousing standing ovation on his release from prison at their Ard Fheis for murdering Garda McCabe.
Pierce McAuley then tried to stab his wife to death in front of the kids after tormenting the whole family with horrific domestic violence.
A Sinn Fein Cllr who was up to his neck in the drug trade visited him in prison 14 times.
S.F. of course collect murderers from prison:

S.F. just love to worship and commemorate murdering psychopaths and their criminal heroes who also live amongst us.
No they didn't. There was a standing ovation for the final release of prisoners post the GFA. That cell in north munster were running renegade and what they did was not very popular but those involved had previously been on active service so it was a balancing act. Disown them and effectively disown all the actions they'd undertaken over the years for the RA or welcome them and recognise them as emblematic of the last prisoners released post the GFA and the end of the armed struggle.
They certainly were not given a standing ovation FOR killing McCabe as you claim. As well as being a tragedy for his family, friends, and colleagues it was a major kick in the balls to SF from a PR standpoint having these loose cannons running around down here and then killing McCabe something that even the Green Book forbade
