Sorry, when was the last active IRA involvement?

He was actively involved in the peace process nearly 20 years ago. Pretty sure Blair asked him to assist in getting parties to the table. This peace has lasted too. What are you? A BBC journalist? If you don't say x words, you're complicit. Such tabloid BS.

That's just not true, he did he just included all groups and refused to single them out, which is quite right imo.

Yeah, they were terrorists but they didn't come to exist in a vacuum and our government was also responsible for some decidedly shady shit.

In my estimation the IRA were worse, but this is still one of those emotive topics that can be exploited by the media to paint it to suit their agenda, and as we know their agenda is to protect capital. People always lose their shit about the IRA, and I understand, I've been alive long enough to remember the troubles but it does in fact take 2 to tango.
