Having lived just outside of Belfast for the last 4 years I don't think we will. People from both sides of the community have to much to lose if the troubles were to return.
Real IRA don't have the grass roots support anymore, and are targetting soft targets, as they don't have the resources or man power to tackle anything bigger. -

And all my condolences to the families.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I imagine the authorities, including Sinn Fein, will give ex-provos carte blanche on the quiet to deal with the dissidents in their own direct style.
Their main motive is to get soldiers and police back on the streets. This would divide communities that are just starting to speak to each other, and destroy the very fragile trusts that have been built up.Comment

Can't see it, they lack the political support they need at home, and financial support they'd need in the long term from abroad (The US) to return to the bad old days.
I suspect it's a handful of bitter old provos who can't accept that times have changed, and want to derail the whole thing. 10 years too late imo.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith
