This is about you telling me the truth.

Yes, The SAS were in the Republic of Ireland many of times.

Mhmmm...I just said the same.

One operation was to capture Sean McKenna at his home in the Republic of Ireland, and Sean Cleary (who the SAS shot to death) while McKenna was taken over the border and handed off to the British Army claiming he was captured in Northern Ireland. Dublin Court fined 8 SAS members for a 100 pounds for firearm offenses.

The SAS captured/killed people regarded as terrorists. This is indeed shocking news. But was that not their job? And would the same people not regard any SAS officer a legitimate target for killing?

One does not have a right to violate International Law. The Republic of Ireland is not British, They had to ask for permission to set foot in the Republic of Ireland and they did not. That is an Act of War by International Law. A Nation State can not go after an NGO within the border of another State without clearly consistent or clear evidence that the State is proving help to the NGO.

Did the IRA remain above the law? Is this the saints v the sinners, where the saints commit no sin?
What you say is that the SAS acted in contravention of international law and clearly if what you say is accurate, this is something they should have avoided. However, in a situation like that - which people with IRA affiliations are fond of referring to as war rather than terrorism, when it works to justify IRA lawbreaking - this may have been a necessary judgement call in order to protect innocent people from being bombed.

Oh yes, because a person from Scotland working for ICE is really sitting on the border between ROI and the UK.

Uhhh, not sure what this means, but Immigration and C&E are two completely different government departments.

Get real ( it was more like Black Watch), Bessbrook Mill was an Army outpost out of the dozens which sat in heavily republican area along the border. It wasn't cleared so some Custom Agent could do their job. It was never about Collecting, Exercising or anything of that nature along the border. It was there to keep Republicans in a choke hold.

The word is excising, you tool
And nothing has to be cleared for you to be stopped and checked out. I personally know C&E officers who were held at gunpoint on the border by such people and suffered nervous breakdown because of it. I also personally know two people whose office buildings were bombed and destroyed by Irish terrorists. That department has responsibility on the border regardless of your theory.

Wanna know how I know this? I can drive the M1 from Dublin right up to the border and get on the A1 and not even get checked on my way to Belfast. Or I could take the M1 get on R177 and take a right and go right up to Forkhill (another British Army base location during this time) and not get checked 1 time. Or I can just get on a boat in Dublin and sail up to any coast town and not get checked.

If there is no reason to stop you, you may be allowed to move freely. This does not mean you are not observed. You can be comfortably observed from several miles off...the government knows about technology and that is public knowledge.

LMAO, This stuff happen in the 70s and 80s.. and the British Government lost in European Human Rights Court several times over these things.

This does not mean the IRA is blameless and the UK government is completely to blame.
