The “baby-faced bomber”, Shane Paul O’Doherty, joined the IRA at 15 years of age. After a brutal letter bomb campaign, he wrote letters of apology to his victims from his prison cell.
“I was sent alone to bomb London. I was 18 years of age”. As a child soldier of the IRA, Shane O’Doherty was responsible for the first deadly letter bomb campaign in London. O’Doherty repented in prison, writing letters of apology to his victims and publicly campaigning for peace. O’Doherty now asks himself if he can ever undo the pain he caused.

I grew up in Northern Ireland as a Catholic from 1970-2000 then i emigrated. The IRA were wrong. The bombing campaign and armed struggle were wrong and cannot be morally justified. So many innocent people were killed. I realize why they started, as a response to the conditions at the time and I understand the gunmen on both sides, but no matter what way you slice it, it was just just wrong.

I did two tours in the 80,s on the border far away from the madness of Belfast. You wouldn't know the difference from the Catholics and Protestants just by sight unless you had a players list of all the Known IRA. Stopped and searched quite a few on the border checkpoints but I'm pleased to say I never had to fire a shot in anger. I could never understand the animosity between the different factions and it puzzled me why they never got along being an atheist but christened church of England myself. I'm glad it's sorted out now because I wouldn't like it to go back to the bad old days.

Unfortunately, armed struggle has done nothing but killed men, women and children and imprisoned men and women. I understand how easy it was to get caught up in wanting to fight for your freedom and country, but everyone was just disposable on both sides to the paramilitary groups. And to think that not much has changed in NI since the 1980s is just extremely disappointing and sad..but it seems like it is Irish history, doesn't it? I hope to see a united country and one where religion does not define a person...

Can you this man taking/selling drugs and threathening his own kin for personal gains? This kind off fighter can not be beaten, he is just and fair (and hence has a bad consience for what he did...). I wish more people in this world where like you Sir!

Child soldiers are below 14, though all my uncles were to the point their mama would have had to call cops if they’d been too determined to fight with her below that age. To say you take no responsibility for yourself because you weren’t middle aged yet is just excuses. No hard feelings, but don’t feel the need to disrespect your own agency to be accepted. It’s a respectable cause, but we are all glad it’s being pursued politically now.

That was a really moving story , how he changed from violence to seeing a peacefull way forward. They should make him First Minister to knock sense into both communities. The weird thing about Northern Ireland is they have way more in common with each other than anyone else...

Well it moved me , i threw up at his wonderful conversation but no thought of managing to live with the murder he brought to the world , a good man would have killed himself once he realised what he had done .

Now, I remember when Domnall Ó Murchadha was trying to skip across to Antrim for a PIRA job in '72, his bird was opposed, but I said 'Aibreann, you must let him go, he's doing the Lord's work for sure', so he went and the UVF kneecapped him on Crosskennan Road. Looking back, it wasn't my best recommendation. :/
