To a large degree peace in Northern Ireland was and continues to be bought with cash on both the republican and loyalist sides

Money was a major consideration in the Provisionals move toward peace from 1992, with Gerry Adams US trip

Having a cat is like microdosing an exotic pet. It's a violent killer with antisocial instincts, the main difference between it and a wild animal is shitting in a box
