When Eimear O'Callaghan found the diary she kept as a teenager, she was delighted. It had been nearly 40 years since she'd read it, so she was excited about opening it up and rediscovering her lost youth. What she found came as a shock, but it shed a fascinating light on what it was like to grow up during the sectarian troubles in Northern Ireland.

Nationalism of all kinds is poison. Don't believe in armies and all their tortures. As for Eire (correct spelling), it is now part of the EU so it doesn't much matter anymore, b/c Britain is too.
Northern Ire is part of Ire and the British should have not been there in the first place. It has always been in control of Ire. Wherever the British go, you will see strife. The Brits controlled and split India for five hundred years and they left. They have been in Ire for two thousand years and still refuse to go. The British courts are always trying to arrest and prosecute Israelis for war crimes, why not start arresting and prosecuting those leaders who are still violating Irish citizens and deviding their nation?
