So, some of those in NI want Ireland to be solely Irish? The only difference between them and the Scot Nats who want Independence for Scotland is that some of the Republicans in Ireland are sick bs who are willing to kill innocents to make their point!

Did you never have a Scottish equivalent to the Welsh 'Sons of Glyndwr' who went around torching houses they thought were second homes, especially in N. Wales.  Certainly, on at least one occasion, they torched a house that not only had a dog in it, but belonged to the local farmer, who had managed to get someone to cover his farm for a month or so whilst he and his family had a long-deserved holiday!!
