Despite opposition from Sinn Fein / IRA Plans to mark the sacrifice of the men and women
who served in the Ulster Defence Regiment through the troubles have been supported by
councils . Also a reception will be held in St Pauls church for the UDRs Greenfinches set up

it in our nations darkest days “
Well said and well done good and faithful servants

in Castlederg on 14 July 1984 , Irene said . She was a member of the first UDR patrol
that was blown up by an IRA culvert landline explosion.
Heather, and her brother David , were seriously injured
They were flown to the Tyrone county hospital by Army helicopter
Heather was bleeding heavily and her blood was running under David
and out the helicopter door
Heather died on the operating table shortly after arriving at hospital
Heather was just 20 years old. She never had a chance to get married
or have children.

On 7 August 2001 the IRA agreed on a method
of destroying its arsenal . Blair described the
breakthrough as “ significant “ and “ historic “
General John de Chastelain of the international
commission on decommissioning said the proposals
had been accepted by the panel as ones that would
“ put IRA arms completely and verifiably beyond use”
The Ulster Unionists said they would no longer take part
in the Northern Ireland Assembly if the IRA did not begin
disarming . During the process the DUP demanded that the
IRA release photographs of the decommissioning process
The IRA rejected these claims claiming it would amount to
“ humiliation “ , and that two clergymen would oversee the
process instead

Best of luck to the Irish team this evening,know where we will stand after this, could it possibly lead to 'world domination'?
Not really I do know after almost 40 years
the IRA gave up their terrorist campaign and handed
over their arsenal to be destroyed
And I do know the IRA didn’t want this process photographed
.. due to the “ humiliation “

'just vote and respect the outcome' 7.19pm
They did that in NI but the outcome wasn't respected as it was a Sinn Fein majority.
Pure and utter bolloxology.

ah yes that would be the referendum where ONLY 58% of the population voted.....why was that I wonder ?
The Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP), however, called for a boycott of the referendum, urging its members on 23 January 1973 "to ignore completely the referendum and reject this extremely irresponsible decision by the British Government". Gerry Fitt, leader of the SDLP, said he had organised a boycott to stop an escalation in violence

During those turbulent four decades known as the Troubles, British troops were largely supported by Loyalists but went from heroes to hate figures in the eyes of thousands in the Nationalist community. They were constantly the men in the middle between warring paramilitaries and rival demonstrators. Nearly 700 of them lost their lives to bullets and bombs, and in turn, they killed more than 300 people, some of their victims were paramilitaries but many were innocent civilians.
