because of an RTE radio programme on October 24, 2015, he said.He was being cross examined in his action against RT\u00c9 claiming he was defamed when he was falsely described by former TD Joe Costello, on a Saturday with Claire Byrne live panel debate programme, as a former chief of staff of the IRA who was controlling how SF councillors on Dublin City Council vote.\u00a0\u00a0 RTE denies his claims.Put to him by Cian Ferriter SC, for RTE, that he could not now pick and choose which parts of the IRA campaign of violence he supported and which were OK, he replied: \u0026amp;quot;I would say most or all the campaign was wrong for violence, it was wrong that people were killed\u0026amp;quot;.He agreed that while he saw his activities in the historical context, the vast majority would see it as as criminal.He agreed that as a result of the campaign of violence, the 1,196 people killed by the IRA during that campaign never got to do what he (Kehoe) got to do such as obtain a BA in history from Trinity College eight years ago in what he said was the happiest moment of his life.He also agreed that as a result of that campaign hundreds of people were \u0026amp;quot;terminally deprived\u0026amp;quot; of the other opportunities he had including to lay bricks to build a community centre and see their kids grow up.Counsel said reasonable people would not believe he had a reputation when it comes to the IRA.\u00a0 He replied he could see that but \u0026amp;quot;I served my time and I came out changed.\u0026amp;quot;The reputation I have now is different from what I had but I had to work hard to get that reputation\u0026amp;quot;.Mr Ferriter also asked him was he proud of his activities in the IRA.\u00a0 \u0026amp;quot;No I would not be proud\u0026amp;quot;.\u0026amp;quot;Are you ashamed\u0026amp;quot;, counsel asked:\u00a0 \u0026amp;quot;I would be, in a context\u0026amp;quot;, he said.Mr Kehoe, who was also sentenced to three years imprisonment in 1974 for possession of explosives, said he took part in a 35 day hunger strike for political recognition in Portlaoise Prison where he served that sentence.\u00a0 He denied he was a commander of one of the prison wings at that time.He said he was not in Portlaoise at the time chief prison officer, Brian Stack, was murdered and did not support that murderAsked did he agree he was regularly referred to as an IRA gunman, he said \u0026amp;quot;in the media\u0026amp;quot;.Earlier, Mr Ferritter put it to him that despite the fact that it was Joe Costello who made the comments on the radio show, he had not taken a case against Mr Costello and had not said a word to him him \u0026amp;quot;good bad or indifferent\u0026amp;quot;. return;
