Charles Haughey was the Prime Minister of the Irish Republic when Northern Ireland's Nationalist community began launching sectarian attacks against their protestant neighbours in 1969.
Haughey was responsible for diverting £100,000 of Irish government money to the Irish Republican Army - who used it to buy weapons to be used to murder innocent protestant civilians.
Haughey - and a number of other leading Irish politicians - were directly responsible for the birth and growth of the IRA in Northern Ireland. Every one of the 3,000+ deaths caused by Northern Ireland's 'Troubles' can be traced directly back to the Dublin government's decision to fund terrorism.
If they carried out this behaviour today Ireland would be classed in the 'Axis of Evil' - countries sponsoring terrorist groups around the world.
Although the Ulster Freedom Fighters didn't get a hold of Haughey you'll be happy to know he died a slow and painful death in 2006. Good riddance!
Ulster is British - No Surrender.
Just look at his house! Built with the money he drained off the country!

Damn! I can't believe they didn't get him! Would have saved us millions in stolen monies not to mention years of his corrupt rule!
