I'm no fan of the concept of a United Ireland (we would go broke within a year if it ever happened) but I find some of the arrogant blasé comments on this thread pretty offensive and plain stupid tbh.
Believe me if that shit kicks off up there again then the UK becomes a target for those murdering IRA bastards again and quite possibly we will see retaliatory attacks in Dublin from the UVF / UDA filth.
While I share your concerns, I think we also have to remember that there is a completely different attitude to terrorism these days. Back in the day the US was quite happy for the IRA to do it's thing and for the NORAID collection buckets to be passed around in bars. Then 9/11 happened to the Americans and terrorism was no longer just about a bunch of harmless Irish boys putting it to the Brits. There would be a much quicker and harder response to any attempt by the bone heads on either side to start up again and they would find themselves targeted very quickly.
