I don't get your comment?... prominent members from various versions of the IRA are and have been members of Irish governments, see Gerry Adams/Martin McGuinness (Or even Michael Collins if you're talking way back).
- mackal 13y agoJust because an organization has members/affiliates in a government does not make that organization part of the government. Its like saying what ever the presidents frat was, is part of the government.
- ryalfalpha 13y agoWhenever said members/affiliates are former leaders we're really just splitting hairs. I get your point though, I mistook what he had said as there is no link at all between them. Instead he is saying 'The Irish government never commanded the IRA' which I'd largely agree with.
