The IRA?Im almost certain he was killed by the INLA.Could someone clarify this?And im sure he was killed for drug dealing,not for invovlement with loyalistsDermo69

There was speculation that he was killed by the INLA, but the IRA intimidated them into silence - however, whether there is evidence or not is another question. Autarch 18:09, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paul Williams

There is a problem with this article, as it relies almost completely on the publications of a tabloid journalist from a tabloid newspaper. Paul Williams is not a credible source. His books are not referenced and are written as bestsellers. I know for a fact that his first book is full of some of the most basic inaccuracies concerning the subject and his life. The new theory outlined by User:Kingstowngalway is interesting, but I cannot help thinking that Williams has concocted this in an effort to make a few bob.--Damac 10:26, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

If you know of any other reliable sources, please introduce them into the article. Paul Williams meets WP guidelines for reliable sources, regardless of your personal opinion. One Night In Hackney 15:17, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
My opinions are far from personal. There are reliable sources on the biography of the subject which I am familar with but which are not published. Williams produces highly marketable products; he does not produce history.--Damac 00:51, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


Where is the evidence to support this, The IRA claimed they killed Cahill in response to his alleged involvement with a loyalist paramilitary group, there were rumours at the time that the IRA killed him, but I don't recall the IRA ever issuing a statement admiting that they had done it.--padraig3uk 17:20, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thinking of Removing Stupid Quote

My header says it all. But that quote says nothing. I'm sure some protocol's being broken here. "Que sera, sera" ??? First off, it's obvious Cahill's quoting another source and secondly there is no context being given. Shoot, if someone ever writes an article on me they can "quote" me as saying, "I think therefore I am" and "We have nothing to fear but fear itself" as well as "Here comes the sun."

Yeah I would fully agree with you on that. BigDunc 09:53, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
