Gerry Adams turns the question round to Ryan Tubridy who tries to slate Adams for IRA connections when he is proud of his grandfather who was in the Anti-Treaty IRA.

The fact Tubridy's grandfather served in the IRA is nothing to do with him. He can't claim any credit for it either. Just like it wasn't Max Mosley's fault that his father Oswald was a Nazi-sympathising turd. Gerry Adams may or may not have a chequered past but he's definitely a part of Ireland's present and its near future. Talk about that rather than a period of Irish history most people want to move away from.

When you read Irish history, the kinds of actions the IRA did in the past isn't much different to what they did in the latter part of the 20th century. During the Easter Rising, Irish War of Independence and the Irish Civil War there were killings by the IRA, the police, the military, spies, informers, sectarian killings and the British State through its army, its recruits in the Black and Tans, the RIC (Royal Irish Constabulary). The loyalist paramilitaries weren't born in the North, the UVF was created in 1914 and were heavily armed with help from British Conservatives. There were bombings, mine explosions, assassinations, interrogations, mass killings by ambush and by co-ordinated assassinations, hangings, sectarian killing mostly of Catholic Nationalists, homes burnt, internment, long jail sentences on suspect evidence. Anything done in the latter part of the 20th century had already been done in the first half of the century, this re-writing of history by Irish people in the Republic of Ireland is pitiful, its why they don't celebrate their independence very much and its why history of this period is so censored in Irish schools, radio and tv.

Though not likeable by many, Gerry Adams is absolutely correct in pointing out that the PIRA though often meandering were when active a continuation of the IRA's War of Independence 1919-1921. This is unpalatable to many, as were the actions of the USA/UVF/RUC/British Army, etc during what became known as the Troubles in Northern Ireland. However, Gerry Adams comes across as hypocritical when on one hand he makes the case for acceptance of the PIRA, and on the other hand denys his personal involvement/membership of the said PIRA.

Tubridy is emblematic of southern partitionist opinion. My grandfather was also in the IRA. Not the 'old' IRA - no such entity existed. I am deeply ashamed of how we in the south abandoned our northern brethren to the loyalist hoodlums in the north. As was my grandfather. A large measure of blame attaches to those in the south who looked the other way when nationalists in the north looked here for help. When they turned their back on them the nationalist community had nowhere else to go when violence was instigated by the loyalists against their peaceful protests for human rights. Remember - the first RUC man to be murdered in the troubles was murdered by loyalists. To sneer at the people of the north who defended themselves because we wouldn't defend them is a double insult - especially coming from one who sat in his Dublin home in comfort as nationalists less than a hundred miles away underwent multiple forms of discrimination and intimidation.

That's all well and good but by that, are you saying those people did or didn't want violence committed on their behalf? I'll die on the hill all day long (and my mother's family originate in Dublin's Liberties, my father's in west Belfast) that says the great majority of Irish people in the south DIDN'T want to have those dreadful acts committed in their name by anybody; their own much closer to home or by people in the north. So, let's not denigrate southerners as being "ungrateful", as if they should feel any other way than they do, which is tired of the violence and the all the conditions which come with it (yes, even in sympathy with those in the north). You can do that while holding and making the legitimate case for Irish independence. Goodness me.

@@MatthewCyUK my overall point is the following. For 30 years and even more before the outbreak of the troubles the vast majority of southerners with the primary exception of border counties and some historically Republican enclaves in places like Clare, Kerry and Dublin were happy to live with the consequences of the consequences of great violence commited by the “old IRA”. You cannot sit here and tell me the talking point has always been a distinction between actions of the romanticized “old IRA” and that of republicans during the troubles. With that being said there is the benefit of hiding behind history for people south of the border when they are not the ones who were born into a state that did not recognize them or even want them. It is incredibly patronizing and insulting for posh dubliners like tubridy to try to lecture men like adams on the historical difference and somehow insinuate his actions were not legitimate or worse than actions committed by republicans of the “old IRA”

My family is of Anglo Irish Aristocracy, Protestant married to Catholics, very much proud of our part in the 1798 Rebellion for Irish freedom, as well has our involvement in Tipperary IRB .. There was some pockets of sectarianism in the south, but nothing in comparison to the British controlled Sectarian attacks on the nationalists in the occupied 6 counties. If only people knew how much the Aristocracy on the island of Ireland, loved Ireland, the people of Ireland and Irish culture, and also how many of us offered assistance and joined the resistance for a better free Ireland.

Tubridity can't win with this argument because it has no substance to it. Ive heard it so many times from people south of the border that there was a 'good, old IRA' and an evil 'northern c1970s-80s. If they actually went and learned their own history they would see how similar the 'old IRA' was to the provisionals of the 70 & 80s. When you read the history (as I have and Tubridity has not) it is the similarity between the tactics of the 1920's and the 1970'/80s IRA that really struck me. Also when Ryan exclaims 'that was a different time' it was only 50 years before the provisional IRA started. We are not talking about 1000s of years that had elapsed.

@aor32202 ай бұрын
@jackietreehorn5561 indeed they did. The main distinction is the provisionals used bomb much more often. However, the similarities in tactics are strikingly similar when you compare the two eras. What is astounding is how many Irish people are unaware of this.

jonoessex: Simple answer is support. The fact that Sinn Fein constantly seem to rise amongst nationalists (including a rise in the republic) whereas the dissidents can't get a political vehicle to start is worthy of another discussion. The people of Ireland, Northern Ireland especially, are tired of violence and this is all dissidents seem capable of offering.

Righter of two wrongs. Doesn't matter if you have blood on your hands Gerry. All soldiers do. Wash it off and carry on. That is the christian way. Righteous and pure. Doing god's work. Not to say I agree with war but an armed struggle is the only way when diplomacy fails and leaves you as a third class citizen in you're rightful country. If they can't be fair then bludgeon them to bits on their knees and a righteous war is better than an unfair peace. Fight for your equality because all men are created equal according to god and when it's all over we can forget about the oppressors and say we bloodied their nose and buckled their backs

The trouble with Ryan / Adams debate is that Adams- had to think long and hard and he could well say to the charge ...think of all the people Lloyd George/Churchill or Sir Henry Wilson sent to their death.......I'm not an Adams supporter but Ryan would need to have his thinking a bit more in line to pursue that question with Gerry. Shooting is to be avoided if at all possible as it seems to release bad legacies ..the Peasants of Russia fought the Proletariat of Europe for the benefit of the rich vested interests....again and again on the Green fields of France.

Adam’s got a clap from the audience that he didn’t deserve. He is the reason many people died. Those who died were mostly Irish people. The IRA killed more Irishmen then loyalist paramilitaries and HM Forces combined. The man is a nut job. He said “I was born in a state that didn’t want me”. Name me one state that wants a terrorist? 🤦♂️

If Tubridy was wondering when Adams would bring up the question of his Grandad, he should maybe have invested a few minutes in thinking of an answer to it. Though I can't help but think Gerry's grandson might one day be trying to answer the same question... Republican legitimism is a hard loop to break out of...
