Keith in Hertfordshire, It was a guerilla war.

Read up how a guerilla war is fought.

It's good to get the weapons out of action but bad that the English are staying.

We have a city center monument to the 1840s famine, which forced millions of starving Irish to come and settle here in the United States. We will never forget our roots.

It's true there are several organisations here which raised funds for the Republican movement.We supported the republican cause. No one asked us to send guns, that is a slur.

If people from so many different backgrounds can live in peace here in the US, we should be able to see them live together in Ireland.


Millions of American dollars is being invested in Northern Ireland, helping both communities.


I live in South Boston, the heartland of the Irish community here, people were less than positive when they handed their guns in. I think now they see peace is working.
