sounds like the IRA is becoming as popular as a polecat at a picnic.
LOL ~ that's a good statement!!!
One was to affiliate itself with Continental commies. That ended up with parts of the IRA proclaiming common cause with Pol Pot and his genocidal program ~ definitely made folks question their sanity.
More recently they've been caught in bed with South American Latino narcotrafficantes, as well as Moslem extremists like AlQaida. Not sure that decision helped draw Roman Catholic support to them.
Eventually these guys will go out of business, and you will find the non-Catholic population in Northern Ireland demanding to join the Irish Republic for simple economic reasons.
More than likely it's time for these guys to start building a really high stone wall because the problem will not end until it's all settled in bed, like here!
