> Seriously, I don't believe the government of Ireland sponsors the IRA, do they?
Come on, the IRA's sole goal is to unite Northern Ireland with Ireland. The money ain't coming from Portugal.
On a slight tangent here is some interesting reading on the IRA
http://www.terrorismanswers.com/groups/ira.htmlThe IRA has liks to FARC, ETA and the PLO. Check this out:
"The IRA reportedly has an arsenal of light arms as well as several tons of Semtex explosives, stored in secret locations across both parts of Ireland. Most of these weapons are thought to have been acquired from Libya in the mid-1980s; some came from IRA sympathizers in the United States."
