For the record: I HAVE BEEN CONVINCED!!! The tactics of the IRA are indefensible, barbaric and unconscionable. I still believe that Ireland should be united but the IRA is NOT the vehicle to bring this about. All statements made by myself supporting the IRA are hereby retracted. I was wrong. Sorry McGhee but these people are right. If you can support that kind of terrorism then you need to do some soul searching. There can never be justification for the slaughter of innocents.
