The individual complaining about not being able to sell INLA merchandise is not a member of the IRSM.
That said, I am curious about what anonymous government agency is responsible, as they apparently take no interest in loyalist or other republican merchandise sold on eBay.
"These searches are little more than a politically motivated fishing exercise and an attempt by the PSNI/RUC to blacken the good name of Teach na Failte."
If, it has a good name- you should at least spell it properly i.e Teach na Fáilte.
The smashing down of doors and especially throwing a disabled man out of his wheelchair leaving him lying on the floor is despicable.
For what it's worth, I support your condemnation of it
"throwing a disabled man out of his wheelchair leaving him lying on the floor is despicable."
This is a standard comment. Every single time you see the IRA and its like complain about the police they use the same line.

Where else have you seen the words I used and which you quote: "throwing a disabled man out of his wheelchair leaving him lying on the floor is despicable"?
Can you show links or quote references to substantiate your claim that the the IRA have often used these words? Who exactly are you referring to, when you write about "the IRA and their likes?"
You say these words of mine are "a standard comment". Let me assure you that this was my comment, made by me, not copied from a "standard".
Are you suggesting that the comment itself is wrong?. Is it your own opinion that throwing a disabled man out of his wheelchair, leaving him lying on the floor is OK? "Standard" practice, maybe? Or are you suggesting that if a comment is made by a source which you think (wrongly in this case) is "the IRA and its likes" it has no validity?
Stick to the substance of the comment please if you are disagreeing with it and don't fall into the fallacy of "argumentum ad hominem".
The raids in question were carried out in October 2005, when an investigation was in progress into the death of Mary Reid. It is believed that Mary was abducted as she left her workplace in Derry city at 10.00 am on the morning of 29th January 2003. Mary's body was discovered on a beach in County Donegal at 5.30pm that evening. It is my opinion that the lack of an investigation by the Gardai in Donegal at the time of Mary's death was to protect the identity of an informer inside the ranks of the Derry INLA/ IRSP.
