"The way I've been treated by the PSNI in here today, and over the last couple of days and nights has been terrible. I was kicked in the leg. I was punched in the face; you can't see it because of the, ah, sideburns."
Thousands failed to turn out to cheer Gerry Adams in Galway.
As Gerry, Martin and Martina stood on a platform waving to bemused passersby in Eyre Square, Bobby Storey finally arrived to tell them that one of the two buses carrying the thousands had broke down outside Tubbercurry.
Former IRA volunteer and ex-prisoner, spent 18 years in Long Kesh, 4 years on the blanket and no-wash/no work protests which led to the hunger strikes of the 80s. Completed PhD at Queens upon release from prison. Left the Republican Movement at the endorsement of the Good Friday Agreement, and went on to become a journalist. Co-founder of The Blanket, an online magazine that critically analyzed the Irish peace process. Lead researcher for the Belfast Project, an oral history of the Troubles.
