As a N.Ireland catholic (who doesn't practise their religion anymore, admittedly,) who lived here throughout the whole of the troubles, don't try to tell me what went on and who was responsible for the majority of the suffering.
The DUP, as bigoted as they are, were never the official party of any terrorist organisation. Sinn Fein have members in their party to this day who carried out bombings and killings and were released from prison, never serving their time, as part of the Good Friday Agreement.
You detest the DUP, I detest both parties, for very different reasons....but give me a bigot over a murderer of innocent children any day.

Well with respect jet dont try to tell me either.
My Grandparents lived in Mullingar in Southern Ireland,
not far from the border with N Ireland, Several of family of mine lived in N Ireland and family friends too.

They lost people in the troubles as many did.

It is time for those who can to move on and be grateful for the peace that came to be.

You rerun your hatred of IRA all you wish,while ignoring the funding and support going on as to Unionists to help not only fuel the atrocities and troubles but help extend them.

You nor I have a monopoly as to the troubles,thankfully and hopefully past,as to N Ireland now.
I know a great deal as to Irish history and politics with my Mother's side being full Irish.

I see bigotry.prejudice and an uncompromising attitude alive and well still in the DUP.
Much moreso than in other Parties in N Ireland and yes,even as to Sinn Féin.
