And just how do you justify THAT statement? The Orange and the Green have been fighting since the formation of the Irish Republic, and BOTH sides have been guilty of atrocities.

I don't recall the Protestants staging bombing campaigns in Dublin to match the Catholic bombings in London.

On May 17, 1974 car bombs exploded in Monaghan and Dublin, Republic of Ireland, killing 33 and wounding 258. These were carried out by the Ulster Volunteer Force. There are also other documented car bombings and pub bombings carried out by Protestant Loyalist Paramilitary groups. Why do these atrocities go unnoticed or unreported? Furthermore, it is suspected that British Security Forces may have been involved in the Monaghan and Dublin attacks as it was believed the UVF did not have the expertise or sophistication necessary to carry out such attacks alone.

The Ulster Irish have murdered enough Catholics in other ways....there is EQUAL blood on their hands.
