Irish_Thacherite,
"The IRA is an illegal organisation, Sinn Fein and the IRA are one and the same, therefore Sinn Fein should not be a legal party to begin with."
The assertion is irrelevant. Mr. Adams was lawfully elected by a majority of voters. We extol the virtues of democracy, and yet when democratic actions occur that do not meet our liking, we denounce the democratic process? There's no logic in that position.

I agree with you.
