Both sides still have large amounts of explosives and guns. I remember seeing the weapons that were “decommissioned”, it was a joke. They were virtual antiques or just obviously non functional. The rust on one of the rifles stood out a mile in one piece of footage I saw. I’m not taking sides here, but the PIRA would never have got to the negotiation table without their arsenals hidden in the North and South. They’re still able to deploy functional modern weapons and only a fool would believe they’ve disarmed. I hope and pray that the peace holds. For violence to flare up again would be a tragedy. We’ve got to bear in mind that mainly young men are now falling prey to drug addiction in the north. It angers me that doctors are dishing out drugs such as Lyrica, which is highly addictive and creating ready made addicts who will no doubt turn to illegal drugs. These young men have potential which is being destroyed so early on. They need proper jobs and some real prospects, not a future without hope. It’s almost as if the NHS is being used to make sure there’s no fight in them in the future. I hope I’m wrong.
highmiles 68 I don’t know the mechanics of it, my son was put on them for chronic cluster headaches and I’ve seen what he went through after being on them for a year. He knows people who just cannot get off them. If a high dose is taken it gives a euphoric feeling TBH I tried them to see for myself. They are a buzz. Which is why I only took them once.!
Lyrica and Gabapentin are highly addictive physically. I experienced no desirable euphoria from them. NI must be desperate for drugs to abuse that dirty drug.
The thing was loyalists didn’t know how to make a bomb they generally didn’t use explosives. American military however did teach Irish Republican Army how to make bombs hence the reason they killed so many Irish women and children.
it will hold because people don't go to church same anymore. Once they start making N. Ireland more and more multi culti, they will soon stop worrying about who is Catholic or Protestant.
So true, look at how the banning alcohol, prohibition, absurd idea worked in 1920's. Everyone still drank and it made millionaires out of mafia trash, corrupted politicians, etc.. Government need to gtfo n keep their noses out of peoples business...it's our bodies, our personal liberty, to do what we like with our own bodies, as long as ur hurting no-one wtf it gotta do with asshole politicians? People 100yrs ago had more freedom n rights, ffs.
I have family members in Northern Ireland who are lovely people but the mere mention of politics literally causes mayhem. Its such a beautiful place with wonderfully kind and friendly people out breaks me up. I prey that peace can be achieved.
I have to laugh at some of the comments here where people say stupid things like "oh thank God it's over". Sorry, thank God what's over? You obviously weren't listening to the building contractor who told us that if the troubles subsided, a mafia-style culture would remain in place. Well they have and it has. I really wish people would listen to what's being said.
was a kid in the 70s so you feared the IRA "stories" then i had the misfortune to have the same name as a wanted terrorist which got me detained by police twice going to the football as the MET were under orders to detain ANYONE between 14 & 55 with that name - by Interpol . one more time would have been compensation - but he got caught,probably for the best cos he was a nutter :/
I remember watching Cook Report when I was a kid as there was a dog fighting episode in my town. Man had big balls. Didnt he get loads of death threats?
All these toxic comments mainly from kids who dream of glory and want the troubles to return. Grow up it was an awful time in history. So many died on both sides men women and children.
Remember The Cook Report. Always very interesting. Wish it could be brought back, although it would be modernised with a different presenter. Maybe this could be one for Philip Schofield or Ant and Dec.

This is what happens when hatred stops people talking to each other. This is what happens when hate, replaces love. God bless you all. Best regards from the Republic of Ireland.
@Seymour Crack Killing 100, presumably innocent civilians, for every one of our innocent civilians killed, is a horrendous war crime. It's far worse then the most sadistic things that I think the Black and Tans ever did, presumably on par, with the 300 citizens of, I think it was Limerick...the British officer that signed the British surrender to the USA, at the US war of Independence, sailed to Ireland and rounded up 300 people from an Irish city, decapitated them, and put their heads on pikes around the city walls, for a rebellion that happened in the city, it's roughly on par with that. It's literally one of the most sadistic of the Nazi strategies in WW2. That's genuinely sadistic.
@Seymour Crack If your a British loyalist, your terrorists have presumably heavily suger coated British history in Ireland, after Irish history as unbanned in northern Ireland, for the exact same reason that German history was banned in Germany after WW2.
@Seymour Crack ethnic cleansing is the reason why their is a protestant majority in Northern Ireland. Via burning people out of their homes, direct targeting of civilians and other war crimes. God backed the IRA in the Irish war of Independence. The hatred that British loyalists have in their hearts, is what caused the troubles and the Irish War of Independence. This could have all been sorted out sometime around 1908-1912. But your attitude, like Jacobs brothers in the old testament, is the reason why this all happened. I'm convinced, based on a message that the Lord gave me, backed up on your mindset, and countless others like you, that the only reason why your mindset didn't do a mass genocide, directly targeting civilians, far more then your people already did, was for fear of military intervention from the USA, particularly Irish USA, that saved countless lives, by arming the IRA to fight off people like you.
@@davidodonovan1699 I dont think God.comes onto it. Blowing men women and children to pieces Eack side though they were right. Wouldnt like to be living knowing I killed an other human being. And got away with it. No land is worth it Everyone likes.to be the victim. The victims are the ones who were murdered for nothing. Do all of you who killed have no regrets. If you dont your sick.
M.I.6 had the IRA compromised early on, Cahill was a kiddy fiddler and in the top echelons of the operations. Military Intelligence kept that shit going for years, I stopped going to green nights 3 years ago as the bullshit with the Shinners split people in two. Fair play if you enjoy CATB or the Irish Brigade for the music and banter, but, the more I looked in, the more disillusioned I got with it all. From marching the first Saturday in Edinburgh at Castle Terrace in June to fundraising for POWs (interned for no good fu**ing reason) the fire and passion I had for the movement died a while ago.........keep yer own counsel and go from there.
The financial problems and poverty in these areas were rejuvenated beyond recognition due to EU funding post gfa 98 agreement, but since Brexit I hate to see what's in store for the blue collar community here....the world is banjaxed especially in northern Ireland now
I’m American of Irish descent (yeah, I know) and the more I research this, the more that I feel like if I ask five different Irishmen what the Troubles were all about, I’ll get 20 different answers.
@Pip Smith 😕😖 That’s terrible. Truthfully, I’m more of the Protestant variety of Christian. But I know that most of the Troubles had very little to do with religion and more so with both sides trying to get control over the other to no avail with sometimes very little clue as to who is the “good guy” or the “bad guy”.
It was all about the Protestants didn’t want to share power !! They wanted all the good jobs , the best houses , the Irish catholics were treated like black people and they were in there own country and there’s only so many times you kick a dog before he’s gonna bite you in the ass ,
strange that the UDA was never a proscribed organisation. Despite admitting to many ' operations '. Using the UFF handle as a flag of convenience. they were only banned right near the end of the troubles. when mad dogs gang were on a rampage
The opening uses Francis Monkman's soundtrack for The Long Good Friday (which is incidentally about a London gangster naively believing he can take on the IRA). I hope they paid royalties.
Interesting to see Frizzell's Fish Shop in shot (4min 34). This film was made in 1987 but the building was destroyed in a premature explosion in 1993 which killed one of the bombers and eight innocent civilians who were doing their Saturday grocery shopping. It also killed one UDA member allegedly. They were clearly after "Newman Enterprises" or whatever front organisation was then occupying the upstairs office. So: one legitimate target (by their own classification); one own goal: and eight "collateral damage" deaths. Pretty incompetent, you have to say.
No UDA men got killed the offices were upstairs so they deliver a bomb that goes off early killing men,women and children ,everybody knows it was Adairs C company the PIRA wanted to kill as C company killed anybody within the Nationalist community.The Republican movement murdered with impunity anybody they thought legitimate targets ,why shoot dead Norris Mcwhirter a gentleman who's day job was telling people who were in the Guinness book of records,why murder Airey Neave who escaped from Colditz castle cos he was a tory and in Thatchers party and in his late 70s.Going into the late 80s the Loyalist groups targeted nationalists anywhere they found them like Sean Graham's bookmakers or the Rising sun pub(after the Shankill atrocity)peace is peace but the men of violence are coming back as we see with 2 car bomb attacks in Londonderry, feel for the generation who have grown up with peace if the terrorists return.The really annoying thing for me is Brexit and how the EU think it's a great opportunity to unite the island these tools are clueless it will bring murder and mayhem as i can't see the mainly Protestant security forces taking orders from the mainly Catholic gardai, gardai patrols going through Loyalist areas would be targeted for attack as would the Irish Defence Force
The IRA killed Norris McWhirter's brother Ross in 1975, not the man himself. McWhirter was murdered because he offered a £50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of IRA bombers. Just to be clear, I am English and not an IRA supporter but I wanted to point out that it isn't true to imply the IRA had no motive for that killing. You also miss identified the victim. @@BristolbarRSC
You must be from the generation born after the GFA forgetting the atrocities carried out in your own country by the PIRA like Birmingham,Warrington and Guildford targeting innocent men,women and children.So it was his brother they shot on the doorstep they are still cowards to me shooting old men but that's the MO of the vermin..
Money is is the tool they use for Power , money has no value with the Elite, it's a thing they use for us to keep us down by greed. Power is what they seek/Control
If Britain had left the Irish alone; if it had not taken the land from the indigenous people and introduced Plantationers on to that land; if if had not brutalised the true Irish people and favoured the Plantationers then there would have been no uprisings down the centuries, no IRA, no Troubles, no British soldiers being sent home in body bags and the British taxpayer would not have received an annual bill for the chaos created by its government. The British have always been to blame.
UNDERSTAND Protestants and Catholics get along just fine in Southern Ireland. Violence comes from Protestant British occupied Northern Ireland. One Island, one people, one government
There no joy in any war! People we’re murdered on both sides of the community. It was a terrible and very unfortunate bloody time to grow up in our history. A beautiful country destroyed with bombs, the people were living with daily uncertainty. I hope that our children will have a better future and more peaceful life. But history often repeat’s it’s self. Religion is a powerful divide and control of people. We all need to move forward and not backwards.

Excellent reporter. I always admired him and still do. However, this is a biased view of a terrible war that was going on in my country. The IRA were forced to defend the Catholics after attempted ethnic cleansing and being treated as second class citizens in their own country. Its complex but you don't understand it unless you've lived it.
The title of the video is just wrong. This isn’t only about IRA. IRA doesn’t exist in Shankill road. This documentary is about both sides not just Ira.

More than 3,500 people were killed in the conflict, of whom 52% were civilians, 32% were members of the British security forces and 16% were members of paramilitary groups. Irish Republican paramilitaries were responsible for some 60% of the deaths, loyalists 30% and British security forces 10%.

The thing was loyalists didn’t know how to make a bomb they generally didn’t use explosives. American military however did teach Irish Republican Army how to make bombs hence the reason they killed so many Irish women and children.
it will hold because people don't go to church same anymore. Once they start making N. Ireland more and more multi culti, they will soon stop worrying about who is Catholic or Protestant.

@Seymour Crack Killing 100, presumably innocent civilians, for every one of our innocent civilians killed, is a horrendous war crime.
It's far worse then the most sadistic things that I think the Black and Tans ever did, presumably on par, with the 300 citizens of, I think it was Limerick...the British officer that signed the British surrender to the USA, at the US war of Independence, sailed to Ireland and rounded up 300 people from an Irish city, decapitated them, and put their heads on pikes around the city walls, for a rebellion that happened in the city, it's roughly on par with that.
It's literally one of the most sadistic of the Nazi strategies in WW2.
That's genuinely sadistic.
@Seymour Crack If your a British loyalist, your terrorists have presumably heavily suger coated British history in Ireland, after Irish history as unbanned in northern Ireland, for the exact same reason that German history was banned in Germany after WW2.
@Seymour Crack ethnic cleansing is the reason why their is a protestant majority in Northern Ireland.
Via burning people out of their homes, direct targeting of civilians and other war crimes.
God backed the IRA in the Irish war of Independence.
The hatred that British loyalists have in their hearts, is what caused the troubles and the Irish War of Independence.
This could have all been sorted out sometime around 1908-1912.
But your attitude, like Jacobs brothers in the old testament, is the reason why this all happened.
I'm convinced, based on a message that the Lord gave me, backed up on your mindset, and countless others like you, that the only reason why your mindset didn't do a mass genocide, directly targeting civilians, far more then your people already did, was for fear of military intervention from the USA, particularly Irish USA, that saved countless lives, by arming the IRA to fight off people like you.

I’m American of Irish descent (yeah, I know) and the more I research this, the more that I feel like if I ask five different Irishmen what the Troubles were all about, I’ll get 20 different answers.
@Pip Smith 😕😖 That’s terrible. Truthfully, I’m more of the Protestant variety of Christian. But I know that most of the Troubles had very little to do with religion and more so with both sides trying to get control over the other to no avail with sometimes very little clue as to who is the “good guy” or the “bad guy”.
It was all about the Protestants didn’t want to share power !! They wanted all the good jobs , the best houses , the Irish catholics were treated like black people and they were in there own country and there’s only so many times you kick a dog before he’s gonna bite you in the ass ,
The IRA and UVA are all criminals fighting for dominance.

Yes brilliant film with Bob hoskins. No one ever forgets that music.
Love the cigarette burning away in the ashtray in the opening intro. Just shows you how things were then.
strange that the UDA was never a proscribed organisation. Despite admitting to many ' operations '. Using the UFF handle as a flag of convenience.

@@mrlittlemouse1 Bob Hoskins
Corruption that’s off the scale!
Interesting to see Frizzell's Fish Shop in shot (4min 34). This film was made in 1987 but the building was destroyed in a premature explosion in 1993 which killed one of the bombers and eight innocent civilians who were doing their Saturday grocery shopping. It also killed one UDA member allegedly. They were clearly after "Newman Enterprises" or whatever front organisation was then occupying the upstairs office. So: one legitimate target (by their own classification); one own goal: and eight "collateral damage" deaths. Pretty incompetent, you have to say.
No UDA men got killed the offices were upstairs so they deliver a bomb that goes off early killing men,women and children ,everybody knows it was Adairs C company the PIRA wanted to kill as C company killed anybody within the Nationalist community.The Republican movement murdered with impunity anybody they thought legitimate targets ,why shoot dead Norris Mcwhirter a gentleman who's day job was telling people who were in the Guinness book of records,why murder Airey Neave who escaped from Colditz castle cos he was a tory and in Thatchers party and in his late 70s.Going into the late 80s the Loyalist groups targeted nationalists anywhere they found them like Sean Graham's bookmakers or the Rising sun pub(after the Shankill atrocity)peace is peace but the men of violence are coming back as we see with 2 car bomb attacks in Londonderry, feel for the generation who have grown up with peace if the terrorists return.The really annoying thing for me is Brexit and how the EU think it's a great opportunity to unite the island these tools are clueless it will bring murder and mayhem as i can't see the mainly Protestant security forces taking orders from the mainly Catholic gardai, gardai patrols going through Loyalist areas would be targeted for attack as would the Irish Defence Force
The IRA killed Norris McWhirter's brother Ross in 1975, not the man himself. McWhirter was murdered because he offered a £50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of IRA bombers. Just to be clear, I am English and not an IRA supporter but I wanted to point out that it isn't true to imply the IRA had no motive for that killing. You also miss identified the victim. @@BristolbarRSC
You must be from the generation born after the GFA forgetting the atrocities carried out in your own country by the PIRA like Birmingham,Warrington and Guildford targeting innocent men,women and children.So it was his brother they shot on the doorstep they are still cowards to me shooting old men but that's the MO of the vermin..

If Britain had left the Irish alone; if it had not taken the land from the indigenous people and introduced Plantationers on to that land; if if had not brutalised the true Irish people and favoured the Plantationers then there would have been no uprisings down the centuries, no IRA, no Troubles, no British soldiers being sent home in body bags and the British taxpayer would not have received an annual bill for the chaos created by its government. The British have always been to blame.
Didn't Irish sometimes launch raids across the water?
