The IRA had many protestant members.

The IRA in Belfast had Protestant commanders nicknamed 'The Prod Squad' This included Billy Smith, Rex Thompson and John Graham.

Jack White was another protestant IRA member from Broughshane, Co. Antrim who had previously founded the Irish Citizen Army. Erskine Childers was a protestant IRA member, as was George Plant and George Gilmore from Portadown. Bulmer Hobson from Holywood Co. Down was a leading member of the Irish Volunteers and IRB. He also helped to found the Fianna na hEireann youth movement.

Protestants from the loyalist shankill road also were invloved in the Republican Congress in the 1930's.

Ronnie Bunting was a protestant IRA member who went on to found the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) Noel Lyttle was also a Protestant member of the INLA

Sinn Féin have an protestant ex-orangeman, Billy Leonard who is elected in Coleraine, Co. Derry.

In 1905 the Sinn Fein party was co-founded by Edward Martyn, who served as its first President.

The Sam Maguire Cup, the biggest prize in Gaelic Football, is named after another famous protestant Irish Republican. Sam Maguire was the man who recruited Michael Collins into the IRB

You just don't get it do you? I don't need a lesson in Irish Protestant history from you - I can get that from my own family in Belfast.

So I'll put a question to you. What would your reaction be if I posted clips of the Orange 12th July parade not only on this board but also on this thread? Would such a post be considered as provocative to some Reds or not?
 
Our catherdral was still a building site in this <yikes>

I always thought there was something strange about you <laugh>

On a more serious and FINAL note about this. We've discussed it before and both agreed that when it comes to LFC it doesn't matter what your nationality, religion, colour, etc. is. It's your passion for LFC that counts. I just feel that we have to work hard to maintain that.

I'm not a bigot in any way shape or form and my argument was based upon the idea that LFC is strong because it has risen above bigotry. You have absolutely no idea what my political or religious convictions are.
