Good point beachcomber, the support has always been there for the I.R.A. When you consider the number of nationalist people that attended the funeral of Bobby Sands in 1981. The campaign would ever have ran without the support of the people, believe me unlike some I was there on the ground. Always best to address any questions to those here that know what they are talking about, otherwise you will attract the type that have to search the net for some British sponsored report and then select little bits out of it, if this happens just ignore it, the rest of us do.
