People in Northern Ireland - including republicans - know that the £1 billion subsidy (paid ever MONTH) is the only thing that keeps the province going!
As a result, it's becoming less likely that even IRA sympathisers will now support armed aggression. The UK pays more to NI - than it did to the EU, before Brexit.
Yes, I do. I remember running home after a Saturday with rounds flying around like birds in the sky. It was the before I left Ireland for America, it was the last straw for my family.
You have to remember the IRA have never gone away, Hedda, it's the lone wolves you have to watch.

possibly but does anyone even remember the IRA ?
I do as they killed a good friend of mine with the Harrods bomb which went of as I sat in Hyde Park in the Sun.
I heard the horrible dull thud and saw black smoke filling the air over Knightsbridge.
He was a young reporter who got wind of drama happening and rushed outside and too close to the car bomb.
Many many years later I met the new NSW Police Commissioner & his wife at a Sydney theater opening. He had been hired as a clean skin from the UK to try and root out NSW Police entrenched corruption.
The Commissioner's wife had been a young WPC and was in Knightsbridge and rushed to Harrods. Her partner got too close to the car bomb like my friend and was killed.
The new Police Commissioner, chatting to someone else looked at us two tearing up and must have wondered what on earth was going on.
So I hate the IRA but remember both The Queen and Prince Charles met the IRA and shook hands with them even though they killed Mountbatten and those poor kids.
