Fair enough. Obviously my Ireland Lore is lacking.
Let me know when they gun down enough bystanders to force the British out of the north.
I suspect they could gun them all down and the Brits would still be there, ruling over empty infrastructure. But those bystanders, by Jove, the IRA would give them what for!
This is all about the Brexit.
The peace has been kept, because the EU created an open border between the Republic and Ulster.
The Brexit will reimpose a hard border.
When that happens, the Fenians will resume their stalwart resistance to the rule of the British Crown.
The IRA will be back, because that border is what they fight against.
