    The millionaire story is very sad, I don't know how he can kill his daughter in a brutal manner like that. He could have at least let them live.
    The IRA story is good, it is time for them to move on. I saw a TV show there was a huge wall between the Ireland and N. Ireland, but they still hate each other even children. I think it is time to reconcile.

    It is a very sad story, i seem to remember you speculating about the outcome on another blog thread and I was hoping they were in Cancun on a beach ... guess you were right. Terrible that he felt that his family should also pay the price of his failings.
    As far as I know its not as bad as it was in Ireland nowadays, i think older people still carry the resentment but a new generation seem more tolerant etc ... I suppose, as we've seen with other issues, the world has to move on, but it takes time.
