Here's the 2nd part.

Will all due respect, the IRA were and are nothing, but a shower of murdering terrorists that sucked the blood and money out of their community and ruled by fear. Their idea of justice is shooting people in the knees, torturing people, murdering civilians and kids, hiding vicims bodies, so that there familes can never give them a Christian burial, protetion rackets, drug dealing and murder. They are nothing but terroist parasites. Any law abiding Irish man, or womem wouldn't soil their tounge by saying IRA. Those of them who escaped justice on Earth will go straight past purgatory stright to hell. Ireland has rewitten her history to make heros out of evil phycopaths that were in it for he money and enjoyment of killing.

The IRA were originally the Irish Army who I would completely support. When they moved up North yes they became a terrorist cell.

[Joelegs]

The terroist cell system designed by Michael Collins is still used by terroists all over the world today. and is still taught to counter-terrorsit forces. There were some terrible atrocities done agianist the people of Ireland by Crown forces, with that said Collins and his twelve apostles equally commited acts of voilene and murder in the name of Ireland. The thruth is that the Irish State was born out of terrorism and this is why so many find it hard to move on. They still passively hate the British (I don't like them myself) and support Republicans that are wadging an out-of-touch war in the North. People in the South have never experienced The Troubes and don't know what it is like to live like we did. I hope we never go back.

There will never be peace in Ireland while thinking while there is support for SF, the IRA and Loyalist terrorism and people put their hands up and acknowledge the atrocities of the past perpetrated against both communities.

No not quite, but the IRA and the IRB were linked. The IRB go back further, but Collins was at one point the IRB president so you're not far off.

Yes exactly. The IRA were originally the country's army founded in the early twentieth century to fight against the British. Any Irish republican would have supported them. The IRA moved up North in around the 30s because there was no need for them in the south...the British were in the North at this point. The IRA in the North ended up as a terrorist cell I certainly wouldn't support. They are no longer an army like they were. Collins had to do what he did...it was guerilla warfare against a much larger military power well known for oppression.
