SIR: Surely there weren't those who really thought the IRA ever wanted peace and to surrender their weapons! If there were, they were indeed living in 'cloud cuckoo land'.
The IRA have far too much to lose, the day peace is a way of life in Ireland. You could say, their style is akin to the early days of mob control in America!
In fact, is wouldn't surprise me in the least if they didn't have some finger in the pie in Ireland today.
