When I was in school in mainland UK IRA bomb threats were a thing, the Manchester bombings still live large in my memory.

Even from a distance the importance of the peace brokered in Ireland is tangible, I feel.

What the royals and ruling classes did to Ireland seems as bad as anything they did elsewhere in the 'Empire'. It mightn't be logical, but all that history can't be ignored. The memories of oppression live long.
