We just need to welcome people to Ireland, we can remember our history but we can't judge the people of today with the sins of the past as if they committed them. We will never move on if we live in the past. I am not a SF voter, but they have moved on and everyone else should too.

I remember growing up and Northern Ireland being on the news due to violence, death and destruction of lives. I don't agree with SF policy in some areas and thus I don't vote for them, and I have not yet fully reconciled their party to what happened in the past given they existed as the political wing of a terrorist group, but people have a right to vote for them if they agree on current policy. However I can say they have worked towards peace after all the wrong, there was so much wrong on all sides. So while I do not agree with SF, I accept they took the right path to peace and that should be appreciated. They now meet the royal family of England and it is normal. This is good, where would we be if we all decided to define ourselves by the darkest periods of our history?
