THE recent violence in Northern Ireland and over the past years would suggest to any logical person that peace is not on their agenda.

The UK government is hanging on just to create political history by negotiating and hoping to succeed with those who live and rule by terrorist actions.

It is now being demonstrated that it is timely for us to withdraw from Northern Ireland with the Government not appearing to having given in to the IRA.

Ireland should be reunited and the Irish people should live side-by-side still having their beliefs and dignity as the rest of us do in modern integrated societies.
