NORTHERN IRELAND & LONDON — "I'm starting to hear things that I haven't heard in a long time," Eileen Weir told Business Insider.
"There was a republican funeral here yesterday and they shot over the coffin. I know that's a matter of honour for that fallen comrade, but at the same time, the IRA said all of there guns were out of use, so where did they get that gun?"
Weir runs a cross-community women's centre in Shankill, west Belfast. Shankill was a focus of violence during The Troubles. Irish republican and unionist paramilitaries carried out lethal bomb attacks and shootings on its residents.
"There were five bombs all within half a mile," Weir said, pointing out of her office window.
"I witnessed one when I was 16 or 17 years of age. I was walking down the Shankill and the Four Step Inn [pub] was blown up." Two people died in that particular attack by the provisional Irish Republican Army.

However, the UK government's "Yellowhammer" report into the potential effects of a no-deal Brexit, leaked to The Sunday Times newspaper, suggested that this would not be sustainable. The European Union is preparing to introduce customs and regulatory checks in order to protect the European single market.
However, the threat of increased terrorist activity is not the only concern here.
The Yellowhammer report also warned there would be protests and direct action in Northern Ireland in the event of a no-deal exit.
The concern is that if infrastructure is installed on the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, ordinary members of the public will try to take it down themselves in widespread civil disobedience. This in turn could turn to violence.

Pfffftttttt. Troubles are over. GUN FREE ZONES in place.
Remainers are fear-mongering.
The IRA cares so much about Brexit that they will go back to fighting?
Laugh of the day!!!
Stupid argument.
Try something something GLOBAL WARMING... that gets their panties in a wad.
More fear tactics from the remainers.
Precisely.
so they spent all these years fighting the brits only to roll over for the euro-trash... wonderful
Well there is the geographics to deal with. After brexit, Ireland would be the one place to enter/leave the EU.
So the Northern Irish fought to get away from London, but now want to fight to be owned by Brussels?
Remainer propaganda.
“Weir runs a cross-community women’s centre...”
And Weirdo is concerned about firing guns during a right proper burial?
“...the IRA said all of there guns were out of use, so where did they get that gun?”
They brought it back into use.
Business Insider is fear mongering...as usual.
Silly rabbit.
Out of use does not mean out of my possession.
Same reason all y’all aint dead already.
IT AINT THE GUNS!!!
The Irish still trying to conquer the Scottish people of Ulster.
They need to give it a rest.
It is ridiculous that any fighting still goes on. They are a civilized people.
Business Insider is fear mongering...as usual.
Thanks for your reality reply.
Does George $oreA$$ fund this manure producer?
Very possible, George Schwartz has placed his money in just about every possible institution, academe, politics, even I wouldn’t doubt some churches. The man is a cancer.

Plus Brexit will cause the Earth to fall out of its orbit and sprial into the sun, just like global warming has done dozens of times so far.
They aren’t in any way owned by Brussels. Ireland or rather the republic of Ireland gets a veto vote at the confederation that is the eu. Ireland has set the limits fir the eu negotiating team. In contrast northern Ireland does not have that ability in the English union
