Geez, are they still blowing each other up?

Good. Too bad they were unsuccessful.

They’ve let a lot of muzzies in, could be koranimals taking shots, breaking the peace.

This is “New IRA” activity. Internal fight.

Ireland is the homosexual and abortion capital of the world. May they all rot in hell.

They are republicans, therefore they must be connected to President Trump.

Fighting Leftish

LOL.
So now they know how that feels.

Well, verbally expressing your opinion is illegal in the United Kingdom.

I'm an Irish Catholic who thinks that the IRA,in all its iterations,is a band of filthy Maoist psychopaths who do what all such groups do...try to accomplish with bullets what they can't accomplish with ballots.

If the Catholics of Northern Ireland (or anyone else there) don't like it there the Republic of Ireland has made it clear that they're free to move south.

Imagine how different things would have been if East Germans had the choice to move west.Ditto for North Koreans having the option to move south.

I am part Irish, raised Catholic. My family hated the IRA, not only due to the bombings, but also due to their ties to the “Palestinian “ terrorists and the KGB.

I am Irish catholic and I remember my dad struggling with the IRA vs British thing (and that's what it was, "Catholics vs Protestants" was a mislabeling as it wasn't about religion). He hated the IRA but he grew up hearing about how his ancestors fled to America because the British were literally starving them to death, confiscating their farms, and putting them into debtors prisons and work camps. He considered the British the lowest form of humanity, responsible for, as he put it, more misery on the planet than any other people. He was the most law and order, straight arrow guy I ever met. Yet I think in his heart he supported those terrorists in the IRA.

Almost 150 years after that famine and people still carried the anger inside.

Mr Kelly, the north Belfast MLA, said: “These were reprehensible and cowardly attacks on the family homes of Gerry Adams and Bobby Storey. “Grandchildren were in the driveway of Adams’ home minutes before the attack.
Said Gerry Kelly, Sinn Fein’s Policing and Justice spokesman.

And what was Mr Kelly's opinion of the IRA mortar attacks, one killed NINE and wounded forty, another was an attack on 10 Downing Street...

Former leader and murderer Gerry Adams who was invited to the White House by Bill Clinton and walked away from all of his terrorist attacks. Adams is still the recognized leader of the IRA.

"Geez"

Last week they had the annual "Orangers" parade through Derry, which still POs some Catholics. Some took it as an opportunity to riot that week. After condemning the rioting, Adams gets a toss.

Both Protestants and Catholics hold parades that tend to be in the face of the other. The gov settles on agreed upon routes in an attempt to be as little insulting as possible to the non marching side.

Been going on awhile. Like anything else, the better the weather, the more likely a fight. Even if all IRA and Loyalist gangs vaporize tomorrow, you'd still have things breaking out over these parades.

Even though the police in the article below mention a "New IRA", I'd wait for better intel before accepting that conclusion. Remaining IRA groups like ONH are pretty much criminal gangs, i.e., their revolution is effectively over, but they found they liked their funding sources - booze, cigarettes, women, diesel. Not so much drugs as dealers used to be killed by the locals. That may have changed though.

I am Irish catholic and I remember my dad struggling with the IRA vs British thing...

My Dad and Mom were basically apolitical...they had the Depression,WWII and raising four kids to worry about.But my Dad's (much) older brother hated the British.He told stories of employers in Boston having signs in windows and at gates saying "No Irish Need Apply".

It's my understanding that there were many factors connected to The Famine...not all having been the fault of the British.

The treatment in the US of the fleeing Irish was not good. In the south they were used to dig canals because most workers died of malaria and slaves were way too valuable to risk like that. But Irish, who cares?

That said, the root of the famine was a potato blight. Irish farms produced more than just potatoes but the Brits typically confiscated everything but the potatoes for sale in England. When the blight hit, the Irish had nothing else to eat and the Brits refused to stop exporting the other stuff. So farms were producing food while people starved all around them. Potato farms, meanwhile, failed and the landlords came in to confiscate. They could look for no help from London, one lord said in Parliament that the rights of property take priority over the rights of Irish tenants to survive. One prominent English economist was upset that the blight would only reduce the surplus population in Ireland by a million people (note that Dickens put a very similar set of words into the mouth of Scrooge to demonstrate how morally bankrupt and lacking in charity he was. We can infer that hearing them in two different contexts, they were not that unusual to the brits of the day). At first the Brits did allow importation of food from foreign sources without tariffs but the Irish lived in farm income and were penniless without that so they could not afford it at any price and the Brits refused to give it out as relief. Then they passed the Poor Laws which made it the landlords problem to take care of their tenants. Simple solution: get rid of your tenants. But that wasn't cruel enough because some small time farm owners with no tenants were still managing to survive so London amended the law to say that anyone with more than 1/4 acre of land was prohibited from any form of relief.

Their reaction was worse than indifference, it was indifference coupled with self righteousness that the Irish deserved it. By the time it was over, a quarter of the population was either dead or emigrated to places like America where they were hardly embraced with open arms but where they at least had a chance to thrive.

Ireland is the homosexual and abortion capital of the world. May they all rot in hell.

What the hell are you talking about? The Republic of Ireland is one of the few countries that held abortion illegal, until a referendum changed this on May 28, 2018.

So, while America was aborting tens of millions of babies throughout the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and the first 7 years of the 2010s there were no abortions in Ireland. Maybe America, China or India is the abortion capital of the world, Ireland is not even in the running.

Yes, now, that has changed. That is regrettable, but it still shows your comment to be absolute nonsense.

So, you appear unable to draw factual conclusions from readily available data and history so perhaps it's not worthwhile to even ask what sort of data leads you to claim that Ireland is the "homosexual capital of the world".

Homo capital of the world? Says who? The gays themselves are quite willing to give it a try and do so here:

The 20 most and least gay-friendly countries in the world">The 20 Most and Least Gay Friendly Countries in the World

Ireland's not in their top 10 (nor their 10 least friendly, those are all Muslim). Spain, Germany, Canada, Czech Republic, Australia, France, Britain, Argentina, Italy and the Philippines.

So, I ask again, what the hell are you talking about? Or does any mention of the Irish in any context induce you to strut your anti-Irish bigotry for us all to see?

I have been to Ireland, have you? I have stayed many nights in Limerick, Tralee, Killarney, Cork, Tipperary, Youghal, Kilkenny, Portlaoise, Galway, Clifden and Sligo. I have friends STILL living there, though most have moved to England.

I should have said it is NOW the most left wing, pro-homosexual, pro-abortion, decadent country in the world. This conclusion is by living and observing the current culture. They are very liberal. Very left wing and socialist. Ireland has been going down hill since the 1990s.

I say again, Ireland and the New York Times can go to hell.
