Do you condemn the Provisional IRA too?

Also, I must admit, I did laugh slightly as your name is a mythological hero that Ulster Protestantism uses to symbolise their struggle. :)

You are right. Cuchulain is a mythological figure dating back to the pre-Christion era. He was the nephew of King Conor of Ulster and is said to have held the highest ideals of the Irish Gaels. He has always been regarded by the Irish as the "ancient defender of Ireland". Protestant revisionism has made him their "protector of the province".
