Martin McGuinness has admitted that he was a member of the IRA and never claimed that he wasn't. Or are you claiming that he is still a member? I have no way of knowing this one way or the other. If you want to insist that he is, that's all right but don't expect people to accept it as fact just because you really, really believe it.

Yes, everyone knows the names of some dissident Republicans. Recently I read an article by one in the Observer. But being a dissident Republican is not a crime.

Have the IRA committed murder and other actions which even by their own rules were criminal? Yes. And so has, for example, David Ervine whose vote David Trimble relied on to become First Minister.

And what next? Oh yes, people who have been ordered to leave the country. To be honest I know very little about this but you seem be implying there there's an awful lot of them. I hadn't thought so but I've been wrong before. As I said, I don't know. But I have a feeling that you don't really care. You seem to be looking for just another stick. I mean, there's no shortage of things to blame the IRA for, but attacking them for what you think they might do in the future? Aw, come on.
