Replying To Seanfan:  "Quite a lot of people in the "South" will be happy ye lost.
Especially the families of Séamus Quaid, Gerry McCabe, Patrick Kelly, Gary Sheehan, Frank Hand, Michael Clerkin, Tom Oliver, Eamon Ryan.... ...."
The Republican movement didn't actually lose, they just couldn't achieve immediate victory through an armed campaign.

If a United 32 County Ireland that is free from British rule is achieved in the coming years stemming from the GFA, then the Republican movement did win, just not in the way first envisaged. And based on recent census data trends in the North, we are currently on a trajectory for a clear majority in the North who politically woulds support a United 32 County Ireland in the next 10 -15 years.

The body count attributed to the British rule in Ireland from Plantation, to Oliver Cromwell campaign and the famine is close to 2 million Irish deaths, a lot of families in both the North and South will be happy to see the back of their rule.

This probably won't get past the thought police but I hate the way now on RTE sports news they mention some team like Chelsea or Arsenal or whoever and you think it's men's soccer they are talking about only for it to be women's soccer;
They might thing it's great and woke but it does women's soccer no favours imo anyway.
