Interesting article in the Irish Times the other day. It reported what's referred to as the "old IRA" had disappeared 4 times as many people in Cork alone as the Provos did in 30 years.

There is a tendency among mainstream Irish politicians to romanticize the old IRA while castigating the provisionals. Young lads fresh off the farm, flying columns striking the hated Black and Tans and Auxiliaries then fading back into the hills paints a pretty picture, but the reality was far darker.

Guerrilla warfare is a dirty business, it was in 1919, it still is.
