Hi Maurice,

re The IRA and local support in NZ.

A few months ago I posted some information about the fact that Churchill was willing to give De Valera (PM of Ireland) an United Ireland as exchange for access to Irish ports to fight the Battle of the Atlantic in WW2.

One of the significant links I found was this letter from the USA embassy in London on the proposal. In it, Menzies the (the PM of Australia) mentions that 23% of Australians were of Irish decent, and would cause political trouble if British troops were again sent to occupy Ireland. A case where political "will" reaches far away places. See second page.
