I think the late Brendan Hughes said it best, when he said....
"I am not adovocating dumb militarism or a return to war. Never in the history of republicanism was so much sacrificed and so little gained;to many left dead and too few achievements. Let us think most strongly before going down that road again. I am simply questioning the wisdom of adminstering British rule in this part of Ireland. I am asking what happened to the struggle in all Ireland - what happened to the idea of a thirty two county socialist republic. This, after all is what it was all about. Not about participating in a northern administration that closes hospitals and attacks teachers unions. I am why are we not fighting for and defending the rights of ordinary working class people, for better wages, and working conditions. Does thirty years of struggle boil down to a big room at stormont, ministerial cars, dark suits and the implementation of the patten report."
