Irish president's husband Martin MacAleese had a huge part to play in negotiating with them.

Good news for the continuance of the peace process. I'm sure their members will be relieved as well, as they seem to have spent the last few years shooting each other.

[EireEmerald]

Lets hope it keeps up. This will make a United Ireland a little more likely in my opinion. peaceful and equal co-existance will settle most of the hatred.

This is old they did it last year.

Mandatory marijuana doses could have fixed this problem years ago.

But seriously this is good news.

Eire like the one in the arts you are again LATE.

I'm not sure they'd agree.

Well unless someone posted it before me today Bonerboy, I am not late. This happened today.

On 6 January 2010, the UDA announced that it had put its weapons "verifiably beyond use"

I'm not sure they'd agree.

True, but when the hatred dies down, i might just see something in my lifetime. Especially with the amazing amount of progression we have seen in the last year and a half.

About time

[EireEmerald]

Now the healing can begin, as they say...

its a few hundred years late.

[Thanatos]

Let's keep it on topic, guys.

[bomberboy]

Well it is the right step but what about the splinter groups? I mean both sides.

Bad news, our British Israel shall soon fall.

I don't think sarcastically comparing NI to Israel is a good thing.

I don't think sarcastically comparing NI to Israel is a good thing.

Then we have a different approach towards this conflict.

[UnitedIreland]

Very, very good news. It will ultimately help towards the continuation of peace in Northern Ireland which is what we really want here and now regardless of our deeper political beliefs.

[Hookah Smoking Caterpiller]

We can't trust the Irish, they are responsible for most of the terrorism in British history.

Should have invaded Eire rather than Afganistan. But all because it's 'racist' to attack the Irish terrorists we do nothing, leaving ourselves open to a new attack by those green devils.

[mrmouth]

The fact that the resistance put their guns down before the loyalist force, is kind of ass backwards within the context of this conflict...
