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.

Mandatory marijuana doses could have fixed this problem years ago.

But seriously this is good news.

I'm not sure they'd agree.

This is old they did it last year.

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

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.

Then we have a different approach towards this conflict.

[justicar5]

Bad news, our British Israel shall soon fall.

ah yes ofc should have guessed, you think peace is weakness war is strength and that sensless slaughter is a great hobby.

[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.

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.

Well, if the Irish are responsible for most of the terrorism in British history as you say, what led these terrorists to committ these crimes? Theres no smoke without fire my friend.
