Having said all the above, there is no chance of a return to a level of unrest seen during the troubles. The IRA, or what FR, calls it, the dissidents are not capable of any serious threat. The provos did Narrow water and Manchester, the dissidents tossed an oversized fire cracker over Gerry Adam's garden wall.
In a post 911 world, Arms smuggling is next to impossible. The American network is gone, as is Quadaffi. The only thing capable of reviving the IRA would be an incredibly ham fisted British government response to some minor dissident activity
