Too bad about the innocent bystander; for the rest, good job. I can't WAIT for the IRA to fade into the mists of history. Sinn Fein opened an office at Dupont Circle in DC several years ago and I was outraged. I don't drink at "Irish" pubs, because I know the IRA's money comes mostly from Americans, and some of the pubs are funneling it. I don't know which, so I avoid them all. Sinn Fein's local presence carved that in stone.
Some Irish-Americans don't realise what's really happening over here, even some here on FR have some very outdated notions about Ireland!
