How is the IRA seen in the Republic of Ireland? I know they were considered terrorists by the Irish government, but did they have a lot of public support?

Cute Irish boys :3
>>60346920
They had more support in the Republic during the 70s through 90s than most people would care to admit.
>>60346689
My dad used to tell stories of when him and his brothers would call the fire department and throw Molotovs at them.
Did this actually happen?
>>60346689
My great grandmother was Irish. Should I join the IRA?
>>60347242
idk, sounds like a dick move.
>>60347307
Yes. Everyone should join the IRA, even non-Irish people. A Polish man was recently charged for IRA membership and transporting explosives.
>>60347419
But would it make me Irish?
>>60347419
when i was in reservist resfresher training we sung the come ye black and tans in the local pub in finland with american troops,can i immigrate?
>>60347419
IRA was pretty based desu. I had a Protestant teacher from Belfast in high school, he heard me singing Me Little Armalite in class and got mad.
Still going to buy an Armalite when I have the cash.
>>60346689
Thanks for good song.

the ira are scum
piss off
The world is a scary place when you're alone
>>60348252
>I Ran Away was pretty based desu.
i bet you support ISIS too
so what was The Troubles even about? was it just one branch of christcucks having a biblefight with an other branch of christcucks?
>>60350480
I bet you think the British Empire dindu nuffin.

Protestants in Northern Ireland are basically the same as American rednecks (dumb, violent creationists that think they're entitled to discriminate against everyone else). Catholics got fed up with being treated as second class citizens, being burned out of their houses by Protestants mobs and random Catholic civilians being killed by Protestant paramilitaries (these paramilitaries were supported by police and military and often had the same members). So the PIRA came about and the Prods got BTFO.
>>60350612
>WE WUZ CELTIC N SHIEEET
versus
>WE WUZ SCOTS N SHIEEET
>>60350757
Proddie paramilitaries were bombing and shooting random civilians before the PIRA even existed. You guys got what you deserved.
>>60350805
>inventing the modern world is somehow a bad thing
chink logic, everyone.
>>60350612
>Ireland rebels in the 1700s
>rebellion is crushed and Ireland is absorbed into the UK, directly ruled from London
>Irish Catholics get pretty sick of being colonized
>Irish Protestants are cucks who like Britain
>Irish launch a war of independence in the 20s, win their freedom
>Northern Ireland (Ulster) is allowed to opt out of being part of the newly independent nation because it's mostly Protestant
>Catholics in Ulster basically become second class citizens
>inspired by the civil rights movement in America, they start demanding equal rights
>British government cracks down on protests, IRA is formed to fight back
Religion wasn't the cause of the conflict, they were basically fighting over the political status of Irish Catholics and Northern Ireland itself. Some Catholics wanted to join the Republic of Ireland, some wanted to stay part of the UK but just get equal rights for Catholics. Religion was just a complicating factor and more of a method of identifying whose side you were on, Protestants were typically unionists and Catholics were typically nationalists.
>>60350978

You can't make this shit up.

bruh, by that logic, you'd be Norwegian. or any other nation that took over large parts of it, like the french.
>>60351085
>He says while living in a country founded by Romans and Normans, speaking a language derived from German and French with an alphabet created by Romans, on a continent whose modern existence was shaped by Romans, Martin Luther, and Napoleon.
Wew lad. I mean Brits certainly helped out but thinking they created the modern world is memeworthy. I mean how full of yourself do you have to be to think that an empire that lasted only about 250 years is responsible for all of modernity.
>>60351282
You're talking to an Ulster Scot (Northern Irish Protestant). These people are full-on creationist climate change deniers, arguing sense with these people is a complete waste of time. Their culture has not evolved since the 1600's.
OP forgot the fada on /éire/.
Smh family.

>He supports Underage Virgin Faggots
>>60347102
Really? That surprises me somewhat. I guess though everybody over there grew up with a very different narrative to what we did here.
<3 you guys tho. United British Isles, when? :3
>>60350876
This is a bit of an exaggeration, the BTFO out bit anyway. IRA was kill. You're right about the cross-over membership and tacit support between the State and the proddy terror groups tho. I imagine the Free state supported the provos, too though, in a similar capacity?
>>60352927
The IRA was more or less allowed to operate freely in the Republic so long as they allowed the state to maintain some deniability. It's basically the exact same stance the British government took with the loyalist paramilitaries.
>>60353117
Thanks, that more or less answers >>60353092
I'm not saying this is anything to do with 4chan directly but I've learned a shit load about the troubles in the last few years. It's really not something many English people are redpilled on.. Although I would say the general attitude/mood more favours the republic than the north :3
>>60353092
The Prods were BTFO. They were totally unable to fight the IRA and had to settle for randomly killing civilians. They thoroughly humiliated themselves so badly even the Queen would rather be seen with IRA leaders then them. The British military is a different matter of course.
>>60353117
No.
>>60353734
Shouldn't you be studying for the LC?
>>60353820
No. But maybe you should with that ill-informed tripe you're spouting as fact.
>>60353950
You're clearly too young to remember the troubles if you really think there was no support for them or don't believe the Irish government used the situation to their advantage.
>>60354083
Okay.
Where is he???
potato famine
>>60354703
the contrast of this image is awful
>>60346689
Thinking of moving to Ireland; which one is better? I'm hearing mixed results - "Northern Ireland is poorer", "ROI is poorer". Which one is it?
>tfw missed all the talk about the troubles
fucks sake we never have good discussion here
>>60354703
HE'S HERE!
>>60356735
northern ireland is a failed state reliant on welfare from london with bombings every other week. the republic is pretty ok these days however
crows are niggers
ravens are great
>>60357028
They still have bombings?
Okay. ROI it is.
>>60357221
only occasionally. like maybe once a month.
of course now we have gang wars in dublin ever since that guy in spain got shot. pick your poison tb h.
theres been 52 bombings in the past 12 months according to the grauniad
http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/may/14/police-severe-terror-threat-ira-northern-ireland-bomb-attacks
and ofc the gang war doesnt exist outside dublin.
>>60357453
I would avoid capital cities because they're shit.
>>60357679
good lad
are you english, scottish or welsh?
>>60346689
>half irish, half english
what should my opinion on all this troubles stuff be
who's side should i be on?
>>60358929
whoever you so decide to sympathise with
its not like your ethnicity determines your political views.
>>60358929
which parent do you like more?
>>60361135
as if that makes a difference. he was raised in england to an english parent (and possibly an anglicised parent) so he's hardly irish.

Made this lads.
Feeling proud of myself now.

>as if that makes a difference. he was raised in england to an english parent (and possibly an anglicised parent) so he's hardly irish.
hmmmm
>>60363152
>Feeling proud of myself now.
Self praise is no praise.
>>60363466
Maybe in your case.
>>60363152
what kind of a pathetic individual are you?
>>60364965
No he's right. You're delusional and the image is horrendously shit at an attempt for humour an insult or whatever you were trying to express with it because it obviously didn't work. I suggest you take a overdose and if you some how unfortunately miraculously survive that ordeal hopefully you become a changed man with a greater sense of humour, wit and hopefully less autistic than before.
>>60365529
But I didn't make that picture desu
>>60365617
Well then first of all you a liar not worth my time beyond this post as you previously stated it you "Made this lads". Which leaves no room for doubt unless you wish to oust yourself as an autist on purpose which when you think about it is already quite an autistic thing to do.
Second is that you apparently feel pride from such a image that apparently you did not create as you stated. Very pathetic that you feel prideful about an autistic image in the first place that you said yourself you didn't make. Regardless my previous advice still stands if not more so than before.
>>60363345
ecks dee well memed
hes probably been to ireland like 3 times at most

well there we have it ladies and gentlemen, the value of the image has been completely invalidated by this endorsement
>>60366036
I like how offended she seems to be though, as much as I might agree with the sentiment. >>60363345
>>60365987
it's more to do with your logic and the conclusion you reach
>he was raised in switzerland to a swiss parent (and possibly an helveticized parent) so he's hardly irish.
you were raised in switzerland and have spent the vast majority of your life abroad
>>60366119
ecks dee
>>60366155
ah who cares
>>60366270
actually ive spent a majority of my life in ireland tb h
>>60366535
you lived here for 7 years according to yourself, 8 in switzerland and 3 in america
>>60366651
>7 years
i never said this
it was 10
i spent 5 in switzerland and 3 here
>>60366681
Aha! I knew it! So you only spent 3 years in Ireland.
>>60366789
i told you, it was a year and a half you retard. learn to read.
Night lads.
Don't stay up to long haha.
>>60366681
nope previously you said you left when you were 3 for switzerland and returned to ireland at 11, and then left at 15 for america and you are now 18
>>60367044
Pls don't go.
:(
>>60367070
no i was eight when i returned to ireland

You should just, as a rule, lie to every question they ask you.

>>60353734
I know a Garda who worked on the borders during the troubles. They turned a blind eye to the IRA and the IRA made sure not to cause any trouble on the republic
Once they killed a Garda so they clamped down on the IRAs cross border operations for a good while to make sure they'd never try anything again
Also I believe there was a Taoiseach caught trying to funnel money to them but I forget
Is Ireland still the UK's Mexico?
>>60367471
really? i was under the impression the republic tried to cooperate with the uk when it came to the ira.
>>60367540
why would it be
ireland is richer than england
>>60367547
they did more and more as it went on but at the end of the day police are people with their own opinions and sympathies on the conflict.
if you supported the idea of a united Ireland (a lot of people do but it's not really said out loud) then why would you clamp down hard on IRA activities?
>>60367471
>Also I believe there was a Taoiseach caught trying to funnel money to them but I forget
No that was Haughey, before he was Taoiseach.
His family was originally from the North but came South due to partition.
starting night shift tomorrow lads
wagecuckig for the entire summer lmao
>>60367614
i suppose that makes a lot of sense. the taoiseach possibly funneling aid is very intriguing however.

Sounds comfy. What times and where you working?
>have a president
>he does fuck all
whats the point
>>60358929
Acknowledge that The Troubles was a spark in a conflict that has been going on for almost 1,000 years that isn't "da IRA r ISIS" nor "IRA did literally nothing wrong".
You'll be better than most Brits and Micks at that point.
>>60367762

only known one somali. he was a midget and very americanised so i cant say really.
>>60368827
well we cant really tell ye apart so its easier.
>>60368827
I'd be surprised if the average Croation bothered to distinguish between Irish, English, Scottish or Welsh to be honest with you lad.
>>60368806
since im still in secondary school all i know about somalis is they get in fights
started using flux lads
really helping me sleep haha
>>60368906
true tb h
>>60368935
since when is there somalis in ireland
>>60367579
kek. please try to say that with a straight face and not memeing. btw anything north of watford is scotland or wales tier, as is anything west of bath. do you ever get sick of pretending to be irish btw? why don't you move back here for uni if it's da usa keeping youz down?
>>60368968
this year
is micheail martin the devil lads?

Whatever are you saying, lad. We are introduced with the concepts involving your two islands in our English class. How to distinguish British Isles from "Great Britain" and all those terms that might make you islanders uppity
>>60368854
There's more cultural variety between our countries than the U.K and Ireland. Though this is overlooked, espefially in your case now, since we're irrelevant. Ireland has its plastic paddies across the pond ti lobby it and the U.K is a globally known power...so yes, you might think we here are copy pastes and Ireland/the U.K are unique. We here view your two countries the same. Green lowlands, speak English, differ in religion, Ireland is the good lad. I reckon you have a similar summary for us
>>60369036
No but Dev actually was
>devil éire
>>60369081
nigerians were sound, but i still dont want them in ireland. pakis were the worst, and poles were alri but theyre hard to get on with. there were two vietnamese and a yank also.
portlaoise is filled with foreigners for some reason (read: thats where people get sent when dublin runs out of council housing)
>>60369118
he meant waterford for the first. scotland i dunno. wales is a kind of fish i think. and bath is a mythological english item.
>>60369085
the uk is no more or less a shithole that ireland, face it. we're one and the same even if we're separate countries.
If you've never had a job and don't plan on going to uni... well.. lmao @ you pham. see, I never went to uni and I've basically inherited some family business stuff now, but I worked for 6-ish years in various fields and learnt what the world is about.
finally if you don't like living there and still do you only have yourself to blame.
>>60368969
Bath is a great place, Rasheed. South West England is paradise on Earth. Fuck off, you're probably a L*ondoner

Think about it lad. If the Irish get blacker and the Aussies get more Abbo and Asian we'll dominate them in Aussie rules in about 15-20 years. Worth it.
It's not like they'll make us any uglier.
>>60369204
We're the Catholic ones
At least other sports fans of our two countries are homely...Croats have very good opinions on the Irish. Just saying you're Irish here gets you a nice welcoming, without exaggeration. At least we think we have a connection with the Irish...

Think of it like this: Would someone named "Jones" or "Smith" be Irish? Answer this question and then exchange the surnames for "Đoković" there.
>>60369474
Nah. We're not as civilised yet...
>>60369528
>Would someone named "Jones" or "Smith" be Irish?
quite fucking possibly.
>>60369474
found it when i saw a brit spazzing out about how its "cringy" a few months ago. its funny, charming and flattering at the same time.
>>60369528
well the thing is a lot of irish people have foreign surnames (many norman names but also a few english, especially protestants). but what we do is we just make it sound irish and then youre fine.
>>60369312
I remember reading a thing notable Irishmen who volunteered to foreing militaries and there was an Irishman who was relatively high ranking in the Croatian army at one stage.
Google isn't helping me, do you know who I'm talking about or am I remembering incorrectly.
>>60369594
What? Don't they have surnames like Doherty, Flanagan, Ryan, Callahan, Gallagher, Coughlin and such? "Jones" and "Smith" sound decidedly English
>>60369700
There's a lot of cross over. I know a lot of people with a couple of your surnames that are decidedly English. Obviously there's meme surnames like Murphy or Doyle or whatever, but yea. They're a separate nation but we're one people :^)
>>60369636
the founder of the argentine navy was from county mayo. they have streets and football clubs named after him and everything.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JcnDiLHGUL8
>>60369700
jones and smith would be very rare, but about 5% of irish people would have an english name by my (completely unsourced) estimate. keep in mind we have 10% or so protestants who are mostly descended from english people (but consider themselves irish today)
http://www.irishcentral.com/roots/top-100-irish-last-names-explained2-139628643-237431291.html
>>60369700
I've never spoken or met and irish man online or irl with the names Jones ever and the only person I met who had smith was a Nigerian from secondary school who was here until he was finished it.
>>60369700
Also Jones is the meme Welsh surname btw. Not English.
>>60369636
Major Thomas Crowley. Most people here know about him. He's a part of the volunteer years of the recent war (early years saw our "golden boys, true patriots) so it's our "muh X/Y" sensitive subject
>>60369636
You might be thinking of Hungarian or possibly Prussian, as I can think of several "notable" military figures from those armies.

Welsh are good blokes. Just don't criticise them
>>60369769
Yes, you have those Anglo-Irish, I know...still, didn't know they have such a sway. Even us tribal nations here have surnames variations enough to distinguish whether it's "ours" or "theirs". Literally clan tier
>>60369869
Literally never heard of him until now.
most of our surnames are either native gaelic or gaelicised norman names
http://m.independent.ie/irish-news/revealed-top-20-irish-surnames-31414892.html
>>60369882
we have few english surnames, most are irish or norman (who have been irish for 500 years). and the "anglo-irish" have all been irish since the 1930s.
>>60369798
>meme Welsh surname
it originated in england iirc
the reason the welsh have such a high homogeneity of surnames is due to adopting them in the 15th century from their lords who were typically norman/english in origin
>>60369882
seriously stop being retarded. was just pointing out that jones is to wales, as murphy is to ireland, or smith is to england..
idk how things are there, I imagine a lot of the surnames have become (the opposite of anglosised) irish'd over the years.. but there is massive crossover. there's a shit load of irish surnames in england desu.
t. british isles mutt with grandparents from all nations who could claim irish citizenship
>In the 2011 census of the Republic of Ireland, 2.92% of the population described themselves as Protestant.[3]
could have sworn it was like 10%
>>60369982
we have a few english names but as i said a few times most foreign names are gaelicised norman names. something like 20% of our names are.
WHY'S IT SO FUCKING HOT

what have you got
thank god i have air conditioning lol
>>60370040
send it across the celtic sea lad. Wearing a hoodie :3
>>60370013
yeah I'd imagine similar figures here.. 10-20% sound distinctly Irish. Basically it's not uncommon or considered foreign though.
Reminder.

>>60370132
reminder
>>60370101
yeah something like 20% of english have some irish ancestry. and we had a norman nobility in half our country (never all of it, it was always a patchwork) so thats where they come from. ye have norman names too from the battle of hastings (i imagine even more than we do since our normans spoke irish like 5 minutes after they got here and yours didnt speak a word of english for 200 years)

>>60370201

and about 25% of brits have documented irish ancestry

>>60370352
Bullshit, I don't know anyone called Norman.
>>60370338
god i remember this song
>>60370352
yeah something like that
and imagine all those who have some and dont know it.
would expect norman names to be a bit more popular. you had to speak french if you werent a peasent for 200 years in england after all. guess it makes sense though because of our clan system, we'd adopt the surnames of our chieftain after all
>>60370352
how many irish have british ancestry in comparison? It is nuts to think tho that in the height of the troubles like 3-4 of my close friends families moved over here.. Economy and shit, but still, fuck that. Can't imagine the mood was great.
>>60370387
kek ive read that part
>>60370434
in the north, about 50%. in the republic, about 2%.
>>60370434
What is the difference between any of those things?
>>60370468
well obviously theres a lot more that would have some british ancestry, but id put it at about 10% tops, and most people dont really know about that. intermarriage between catholics and protestants was very taboo back in the day anyway.
we did have an anglo-irish president however. he was one of the last speakers of roscommon irish funnily enough. also wore traditional gaelic clothing most of the time iirc
>this guy walks into your pub
what do lads
>>60370535
seriously I'd perhaps put it higher than 10% even la. But you're probably right about the taboo thing.
Anyway bed time for me. Night kids.
>>60370510
kek ikr.
>>60370660
i wouldnt. not only was there a religious divide, there was a class divide, and before the famine, a linguistic divide. and most anglo irish left after independence so there hasnt been much intermarriage since more liberal attitudes have been introduced.
>>60370387

I want to touch her tights. God, why are tights so best?
>>60370434
>how many irish have british ancestry in comparison
i dont know
have not come across many or any even indepth studies, that come to mind atleast, on the topic
the thing is, imo atleast, its probably quite common
just took a shit
it was quite painful
>>60370807
she is qt
irl she probably wouldnt be but thats anime for ya
>>60370865
seen this tights gimmick around a bit, not really a fan. tights seem very boring to me.
>>60370875
i disagree personally. probably less than 10% id say. its all opinion though we cant really know.
Ira means rage in Portuguese.
Truffles are crazy.

>intermarriage between catholics and protestants was very taboo back in the day anyway
Your telling me, my great granddad on my mothers side was disowned because he married a catholic. He came from a family that was filthy rich and they didn't take to kindly to him tasting the wafer so to speak.
>>60371240
yeah i know. very common back in the day.
i suppose the rest of your family is catholic today
>>60370898
>i disagree personally. probably less than 10% id say. its all opinion though we cant really know.
your great great great great great great great grandmother could be british in origin and you'd never know
>>60371072
>i hear theres only one woman in ireland that knows how to find them
yes, i said that, anecdotally, from a source i trust
they're not really a thing here, even today on the radio they were talking about wild foraging isn't as common in ireland as the continent
>>60371316
>your great great great great great great great grandmother could be british in origin and you'd never know
i guess. then again who cares if its that far back.
i think i was telling you my madman plans of living in a bog and you suggested making cash from truffels.

NUIG's one of the worst leftist shitholes you'll ever see, full of posh twats. But that's all universities I guess.
>>60371781
it's fairly sjw, it's the crustie capital of Ireland and a big college town. The main problem the town has is that it is far too up its own arse for it's own good. It's a great place to go to university and general partying but I don't think I'd want to go back there to live, it's like the Portland of Ireland if that makes any sense.
>>60371994
yeah but i hear galway is worse
