But we all know that Gerry was NEVER in the IRA, never, ever, ever you hear that ?

Doesn't really matter what he thinks.

The fact of the matter is that there will always be an IRA in one form or another as long as England continues to maintain a military occupation of a part of Ireland.

The Sticky remnants of PIRA are no longer a factor. They are not The IRA.

[color=indigo]But 32, you do see the funny side - the IRA as an old boys club - he wasn't been serious - was he?

Yeah, I suppose so

Goes to show the ignorance of succesive English politicians when dealing with Ireland. What does he think the 'natives' are going to do. Sit in a drinking mans club and reminisce??!!

Doesn't really matter what he thinks.

Yes, he will probably the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

I would say he opinions on Ulster are highly relevent.

He may have opinions on the 6 counties (is he running candidates in Donegal, Monaghan and Cavan also?) But I was commenting on his opinions on the IRA.

The real question is what gives a right-wing British politician the right to dictate what should and should not be going on in Ireland. People need to escape this mentality of automatically accepting Briain's authority to meddle in the affairs of this country.

Well said.

That's what I was attempting to articulate before White Horse confused the issue.
