Naturally, the IRA never thought of that, in all those years.
The IRA are about to go into government. What threat is really possed to the UK now from someone based in Ireland, over and above any threat possed by those elsewhere in Europe?
Is there really still a need for an act placing restrictions on the movement of people between Ireland and the UK (and even UK-UK movements) if the same restrictions aren't needed for UK-Europe movements?
