Some people say Catholics in N.I could had achieved more and faster too through political means rather than taking up arms and bombing.
Maybe relations would had gotten better without the violence also, therefore prods could had loosened up.
Maybe the Troubles only prolonged the whole thing and made it harder for Catholics to get treated as a first class citizen and made a united Ireland further away than ever.
Maybe chimping out was not such a good idea in the long run.
And this is coming a Catholic btw, i am not a Protestant trying to have a go. One of my friends (fathers friend really but mine too) said the I.R.A were murdering bastards no better than the other side and today they are nothing but druggie scum. Sounds like some virtue signalling honestly, but it got me thinking about the whole thing.
BUMP

Hard to tell. Only another timeline could tell. But i feel like all the further division it caused made prods more reluctant.

The IRA is the reason 3.3% of the 10-14 year olds in Ireland are African. After the Good Friday agreement signed giving Irish birth right citizenship to anyone born on the Island of Ireland, pregnant African women started flying in in their thousands. Maternity hospitals begged the govt to do something. It took six years to hold a referendum. Scum Féin opposed ending it. 80% of the population disagreed with them but the damage was already done. Now we have housing estates full of feral African gangs beating up people which delivery drivers won't enter. Scum Féin courts them for their votes.

In northern Ireland i think the troubles reputation actually helped to keep niggers at bay. Now that the dust has settled they are moving in only now

It will be a win for Africa, not Ireland.

Probably true.
You'll have Bradford type towns with Muslims soon. Soros Féin love Muslims for their votes. Longford is already 10% Muslim and has warring factions fighting over who controls the mosque.

If there ever was a time for a rebellion since the last 60 years...
