I will not argue on the points you raised, that was a shameful period in the history of Ireland. I will argue that you see murdering thugs as some sort of legitimate answer to the tubes that ran this country.

My grandfather left his workplace because of such signs,he had no time for such bigotry and that is a principle instilled in me, I have no time for bigotry and those who as you have done justified the use of it.

Keeping to the old rhetoric is just that keeping to the old past spent reasons not a good way to go forward. I have not got involved in the specific atrocities of the IRA and their ilk for one simple reason it dregs up the past and gives life to the whataboutery which is a counter productive exercise. Sad to know you try to explain away Omagh and such attacks in the manner you do.
