They're not. The 'Real' IRA are a minority group. The problem is, they still have their hands on the firepower necessary to carry out this kind of attack.

johnnypd Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 some group, not sure if it was the real ira, planted a 300 lb bomb near a school a few weeks back. scum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 They have been shooting the shit out of cars etc around the area where I live for about 2 years now, this kind of thing was always coming. I take it they were responsible for the bomb last week in Belfast? My worry is that the police might call on the army to sort these lads out, if there is a serious army presence over here again, people will get restless tbh and it may kick off again, but the possibility of that is very small of course.

They just dont care, if the Brits are back on the streets patrolling because of the RIRA's stunts, who will be the first to complain? Yep, the RIRA. I was fully behind the IRA of yesterday and would probably have ended up a member if it was still going* (and that is simply down to where I grew up, when in Rome etc), but now all i see is the politics, fighting with words not weapons. Pretty much everyone over here is like that. *For what it is worth, I have nothing against the English, I have family there and Newcastle is my 2nd favourite city, 2nd to Dublin.

DJ_NUFC Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Every people has a right to independence. NI's fight has been a legitimate one and history shows the people simply wish to 'get on with things' as they don't see real independence a possibility anymore, so might as well, as you said, get on with things.

BlueStar Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 he Real IRA "South Antrim unit" claimed responsibility in a phone call to the Sunday Tribune paper in Dublin. In a statement, the paper said: "The caller said he made no apologies for targeting British soldiers while they continued to occupy Ireland and also said he made no apologies for targeting the pizza delivery men who, he said, were collaborating with the British by servicing them."

Just because pubs arnt being blown up anymore, doesnt mean some of us dont believe in fighting for independence in other ways Hmmm Idependence, I'm sure the UK would gladly get rid of NI in a flash due to the amount it costs the UK but some of the locals want to remain as part of the UK. Maybe they should convince them that it would be a better Ireland without the UK involved and not do it through killing people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
