I don't need to look it up. They have disbanded and laid down their arms, the IRA is no longer fighting against the UK.

However...just for you:

IRA lay down arms

By Brian Dowling

Monday September 26 2005
THE IRA will confirm today that the gun has finally been removed from Irish politics after nearly 40 years of violence. Today's historic development will herald the end of the IRA and pave the way for new talks on restoring devolved government in the North.

THE IRA will confirm today that the gun has finally been removed from Irish politics after nearly 40 years of violence.

Today's historic development will herald the end of the IRA and pave the way for new talks on restoring devolved government in the North.

The announcement from P. O'Neill, long-awaited and coming at the end of a bloody trail of death and destruction, will confirm that the paramilitary group has allowed its vast arsenal of weapons to be destroyed in the presence of independent witnesses.

You're refering to Sinn Fein, and yes they are a political party/movement.

Initally the IRB, later becoming the IRA were a group of Freedom fighters....... however to many, they ceased being that when they began slaughtering innocent people.

Steve is correct in that they have disbanded and disarmed. There are disident republican groups still hellbent on killing and bombing...... against the wishes of over 95% of the population both North and South of the border

It seems to me, every time you come back on here with yet another profile, your main objective is to cause disharmony and discourse in the forums.

Turkey...my learned friend is a secular country but the main religion is islam. Are you also aware that the have banned the burqa from public buildings....a muslim country would not do that.

From Wikipedia:

Turkey is a democratic, secular, unitary, constitutional republic, with an ancient and historical cultural heritage.


Not rude persay, just don't suffer fools gladly, as the saying goes.

You see...when you say things that aren't factual, people will enlighten you...just like on this thread about the IRA, they are no longer active, disbanded and destroyed their weapons.

Thanks for the boy comment...nice to know I look young enough to be called one. cheers

Done arguing? I wasn't arguing...I merely issued a factual correction to you comments/statements...nothing more nothing less.

I don't like wheaties...can I have another choice?

bjk68: But that would be to say, that any freedom fighter group with a political wing.. upon signing a ceasefire and declaring peace, remain Terrorists.....

ANC in SA
Sinn fein in Ireland

and if I put my mind to it many more examples would be forthcoming.

Sinn Fein are now a recognised political party in Government


And what would you know about Sinn Fein and the IRA anyway?

Oh yes, of course I forgot....you come from Ireland and would know these things first-hand rolling on the floor laughing wink

Indeed I would. And as one of the 95% who supported the removal of articles from our constitution to enable the process, I'm truely delighted that the madness has stopped... Something, when younger, i doubted would happen in my lifetimethumbs up
