Yeah, fuck the IRA. But they came about cos of the dynamics at that time, something new can come about under current dynamics, who knows. It is a thing with the Irish, we’re kind of a violent people. Not really in a bad way or anything, it’s just that people here enjoy violence. It’s sort of like the football hooligan culture in England but we don’t really care much about soccer so it’s just something people do on nights out. When I was a younger man that was our weekend every weekend - head out for drinks with mates and then have tear ups with other people out for drinks. That energy can be focused if and when it’s needed, that’s partly what helped the paramilitaries form I think. Could happen again, has happened often enough in the past, only time will tell.
