Happygal, don't worry...not all the American Irish give money to the Provisional IRA or to Sinn Fein. I surely don't.

I agree with you - many in Boston & New York do give, and they don't understand that Sinn Fein(Provisional IRA) is trying to capture seats in the Republic - which will then help them to bring their form of marxism to the Irish Republic. That would be very bad.

Anyway, as I understand it, Ireland is supporting the US in the war on terrorism. That's good enough for me.

You wouldn't believe how the kids are buying into Sinn Fein's Marxism.

I'm trying to stem the tide at EVERY opportunity.

Neither did I, or anyone in my family. It's more of a political thing the way I see it, the IRA is a leftist organization perceived as a cause for liberals in the US to support, like the Marxist guerillas in Latin America, although there is some ethnic mix to it that's true. But terrorism should not be supported no matter where it is.
