    What are we in for im wondering?? There were 4 security alerts in Derry today regarding some hijacked van and bombscares and another alert on the rail line from Newry to Dublin (viable device). The Real IRA claimed responsibility for the goings on in Derry. Quite a bit of activity for one day.

    Im wondering though why there hasnt been more about this on the news n stuff. Derry was closed off today completly. I live nearby.

    What do ye think? Are ya even bothered?

    All i can say is put down yer guns lads, nobody wants a return to the days of the Troubles.

    When I read 'activity' I pictured a bunch of lads in balaclavas having sack races and such.

    This is slightly less fun.

    I couldn't care less - as long as those foreigners are only causing trouble in their own country.

    The armed campaign is over as far as I'm concerned. These lads have no mandate to be doing what they are doing.

    Maybe if we ignore them they will go away?

    Agree. I especially hate Kevin Moran. He has been out of date for over 15 years now.

    I can't believe two people managed to mention Kevin Moran before me.

    unfortunatly there will always be a minority looking to disturb the peace process, thankfully on this ocassion no major harm was done, although if their main objective was disrubtion that was achieved

    :(

    Meh! They caused a slight traffic jam for a while - Boo hoo.
    An average day in Dublin with Gerry Ryan trying to cross the road! :rolleyes:

    You know it's possible that the IRA were just availing of the cheaper prices in Newry.

    What gives them the right to call themselves the "Real" IRA?

    They have to be on their Provisional first, and then take the test to become the Real IRA

    A united Ireland is an eventuality but this isn't the way to go about it.

    Kids with small willies trying to prove they are men.

    Trouble is, these kids know how to make real bombs.

    In any other country they would be stabbing each other or mugging old ladies. In NI they are trying ti kill innocent people in the name of Da Cause.

    Kids with small willies who were responsible for bombing Omagh. I can't believe that was nearly 12 years ago. It's a pity it didn't take them longer to crawl out from under that rock. What a bunch of dicks. I really wish they would **** off.
