Most Southerners...

 ....who helped Northerners during the Troubles and ensuing chaos and wholesale disorder in the immediate aftermath thereof were well paid for it by publicans working for the Gardai or Southern Department of Defence. 

The Southern Government used them later to stir up disorder and send others to commit acts of violence in the North and reduce it to a wasteland for the selfish purposes of a few people in Kildare, Dublin, Cork and along the Border.

In the 1930's .De Valera saw through Sinn Fein and the IRA in the South and realised they had no further role to play in thinking men's politics. He realised that they were only gangsters, johnny-come-latelys and streetbrawlers,the other side of the coin to the shirt-and-bowtie outfit of Cosgrave and Cumann na Gael.

 In the 1940's the IRA's place was taken by ganders such as Noel Browne in direct opposition to people De Valera aspired to lead back to an imaginary Ireland of the past. That Ireland was one that never existed nor was capable of providing a modicum of comfort.

After partition the South of Ireland was a country with chronic underdevelopment characterised by profound misery,absolute government neglect and widespread alcoholism . These Southern traits were the legacy of the British  colonial administration and the Free State government and Catholic hierarchy. 

In 1932 De Valera's first legislation was to ban the IRA and intern its ringleaders and the idle,useless mouthpieces who hung on to Mc Bride and Twomey's every word. Most of the latter were full of cheap Dublin porter and unlicensed whiskey sold in thick bottles. Its manufacturers knew that the consumers were thick too and that it was going to be consumed by people who already had had enough to drink. In the publicans' opinions, their clientele should have gone home to their wives and families if they had any other than some old Dublin whore or a former rentboy.

Prostitution was a profession some of the IRA and their affiliates had firsthand experience of,hence their high-sounding phrases about the legalisation of abortion and homosexual practices.

....

Northerners,be wary of who you talk to when Southerners are around at the end of the month in Border towns.

They are "devils for news" and many of them know a lot more than they say. That is the incestuous inverted legacy of Brian Mc Cartney 's literary outpourings,the Green Book.

The Free State police and army are in many instances recognisable by the fact that they sniff and snort at journalists,artists and musicians. Most of those 'dogs' are soldiers infected with syphillis.Many soldiers are reporting back to Gardai and army officers and security contractors deployed by Parkgate House and Mc Kee barracks. They are loopers in khaki jackets and paratroopers smocks (even though the Free State Army does not have a paratroop regiment or even an airborne battalion).

Basta! Sanguine!
