- In an interview with Channel 4 News, the New IRA said it was committed to ‘armed actions’ against border infrastructure - and ‘the people who are manning them’.
The New IRA has broken its long silence over Brexit, saying any border infrastructure would be a “legitimate target for attack”.
In an interview with Channel 4 News - thought to be their first on-camera interview for decades - a masked spokesman for the proscribed group said: “The IRA is an army. And as an army we are committed to armed struggle for political and social change in Ireland.”
“Bearing in mind any installation or aspects of British occupation within the Six Counties - be it at the border or elsewhere - any infrastructure would be a legitimate target for attack and armed actions against those infrastructures and against the people who are manning them.”
The man added: “There’s been a border since 1921. It’s been resisted. It is being resisted. It will be resisted regardless of any deal formed around it.”

I may be british but it is about time they had a border poll . Personally I think a united Ireland is the way forward If the unionists want to stay in England move there.
Why should we move to multicultural shithole london, the monarchy sent us here for their gain we just embraced it as our land. If they do want it to be a United Ireland then the Monarchy should pay each Protestant the money to start a new life comfortably seeing they are at fault for us being here. Never gonna happen Ulster will always be British in this case.
And if the republicans want to join the republic, then move there..?

As an Irish man I can tell you that my first impression of this video was that it was a fake interview with a wannabe IRA thug conducted by an irresponsible journalist but as the interview proceeds this guy actually represents the party line of die-hard republicans very well. You don't meet people reading from this particular hymn sheet in Ireland anymore. Prosperity in the south appeared to extricate the rebel spirit. Upon reflection it's actually quite responsible journalism to show people beforehand the can of worms that brexit could potentially open allbeit very unlikely.

Remember the People's Front of Judea scene from the Life of Brian? It's the same deal - the narcissism of small differences. NIRA, RIRA, CIRA, IRLA, ONH, IRM, etc - all these splinter groups who have the same ultimate goal, but can't work together and will often sabotage each other's efforts because they disagree about one stupid thing or the other. Sure, every now and then they'll set off a bomb or take potshots at some constables, maybe they'll even actually attack this new border, but they're too small to affect any sort of change.
A United Ireland will happen one day due to politics and demographic changes - not because Dessie and Kevin sent one too many letter bombs to a border post.

I'm American and have no dog in the fight but the IRA is an abhorrent organization, on the wrong side of history with copious anounts of blood on their hands as any legitimate government. A United Ireland may come through referendum in our lifetime without IRA influence-- any and all IRA propaganda either silenced or largely ignored. It will be interesting to see these developments unfold; hopefully without further bloodshed, I hope.

When you say.... "Hello"... What do you mean by that....?
The IRA is not what it used to be and could never pose the same sort of threat as in the past. With modern surveillance technology and the lack of passion amongst the current generation they are just not going to be able to have anywhere near the impact they had previously. Sure there will be a few crazies that could cause some harm but it is not going to be anywhere near the levels of the past. This issue is being blown up out of all proportion by elements of the media and political establishment for their own political ends.
I wouldn't be so sure. It's far easier now to obtain weapons than ever before and making bombs is like baking a cake these days. They have thousands of members world wide.
1 man can do hella damage stop being a dummy
That's probably why young guys with molotovs are so prevalent. You get enough kids with molotov cocktails and the police don't even attempt any arrests they just eat it in every video I've seen. It's unfortunate that's how they feel they have to do things but yea with surveillance how it is, if you can organize attacks by people who can't really get caught and for them it's just fun chaos and they get to be a part of a bigger thing on top of that and then just jog home. It's a weird dynamic. The IRA figured out years ago they can't go on as a multi brigade military structure (although south Armagh was capable for quite a while longer) they transitioned to cell structure. It's a weird situation to be honest. Because of the insanely long standing tradition of trying to kick the British out of northern Ireland I don't see it ending soon. The biggest issue in the future of using this strategy of sort of hooliganism is the same that happens in any country where that is employed. Its useful to mobilize young guys with nothing to lose who are willing to be crazy and the more you have the easier it is for them to all get away but once you achieve your goals... They still want the adrenaline rush. And as a political organization it can be difficult to deal with these people you used for so long because they got addicted to the conflict. I hope that doesn't happen and N Ireland gets what they want but for so many years fighting the British it will probably feel like a void for a lot of young people if N Ireland gets what they want.

Like have it dubbed over with a chinese dude or something.
In the years leading up to the troubles the IRA were practically non existent, but look how quickly they organised. If there be violence on the island again, the IRA will be as powerful as they were at their peak again
What a bunch of now 60 70 year old running about with baseball bats lol. Not gonna happen. There will just be cells of them
I highly doubt it due to intelligence gathering, CCTV and other factors due to the advance of technology. The high prison sentences would be enough to put people off nowadays. The Irish people will just have to do it democratically.
@@xaviniven5200 Of all that tech and high sentences, can't even stop gang violence in London.
You really think is going to stop the I.R.A if the troubles returns?

"Legitimate" is my favourite word spoken in an Irish accent.
That's funny most people say "situation", pronounced city-ation, is heir favourite. But you have to beat in mind that the North Ireland accent is strikingly different to the South.
In a West Belfast Pronunciation, my 2 personal favourites are “motorcycle helmet” & “Power-Shower” tickles me every time. .
"Power shower" = "Pyre Shire" perhaps?
Ireland should be free
Ireland is as free as it wants to be. Any more free might lead to a lot of people bored out of their minds asleep or dead by violence.
“mainland Britain” ?
That's some statement alright
@Harry Harry *colonized by britain
If you can't see him and you can't hear him ,how are we supposed to know it's even a real IRA man ???
@Thurman Merman you can see in a man's eyes what he is all about
@Thurman Merman don't be stupid ......
I bet he got that military gear from an ex British army gear shop
What are you talking???
Come out yet black and tans.
Don't even get the feeling the news reporters thought this was a responsible interview to air.
🇺🇸 our first amendment freedom of speech .
@@Christinebanks11 ..?? What this got to do with free speech or the first amendment
@@buoyanProjects if you read it you'd know.
If they break the Good Friday agreement they will have arguably have a right to back to war, the difference being they don't have a political mandate as they did the last time, this might change if the British land soldiers on the border as we know British soldiers aren't the greatest police men.
And what if its Ireland that breaks the agreement? What if UK doesnt build border but Ireland does?
@@fatfat1877 it's who get the blame for creating the conditions that creates the border
@@connomaolagain5088 Excuses excuses. Ireland wanted out of the UK but now wants UK to follow its regulations and laws. You cant have your cake and eat it. The people who build the border are responsible for a border, it as simple as that.
@@connomaolagain5088 Besides you still havent told me what happens if ireland breaks the agreement.
@@fatfat1877 Ireland hasn't broken the status quo, which had a lot to do with the peace. What would happen if Ireland broke the truce ? not sure how Ireland could break the agreement, any Taoiseach would be voted out before the first block was laid
This has to be the most well spoken villain of all time. He speaks like writing an essay😭😭
He speaks well yes I agree even if it KS not his voice. Why you say villain though? Being invaded constantly and a occupation is villain.
I would say he is a villain because he is wanting to kill British Soldiers protecting their own country. He is a spokesman, of course he is speaking coherently.
@@charleshowie2074 The IRA sees it as the British invading Ireland, and technically they were right(emphasis on were) the British have been invading Ireland for over 800(In the eyes of the IRA), after what the British did to not only the Irish but many other people's you cant expect everyone to forget how they colonised half of the world
@@Qysso I don't think that not feeling motivated to commit an act of terrorism in the modern day is evidence of having forgotten history. Every cm of the British Isles (as is the case of all landmasses on Earth) has been conqured and colonised by someone.
He needs to change his smoke alarm battery...and his accent 🌚
