Sorry, Dai, I almost asked which Republicans you meant, then in true egotistical American, blithely assumed you were talking about ours.

Living near Boston, we used to hear quite a bit about the fundraising done here to fund the IRA. I've said about all I want to on this very painful subject, both in other threads, including the Man from RUC, and in my editorials in the Liberal Opinion.

If anyone wants to read a really good book on the subject, get the new novel (with real historical figures and extensive bibliography) entitled "1916". I cannot recommend it enough.
