I heard that the IRA started the fire on board the titanic but this was played down because they didnt want to give recognititon to Irish republican movement.

i don't think so somehow. The Irish Volunteers - Oglaigh na hEireann in the Irish language - were established in November 1913 to ''secure and maintain the rights and liberties common to all the people of Ireland''. So technically the IRA wasn't really the IRA in 1912. Although they were perhaps fighting they were not causing major incidents of any sort at that time, or trying to get attention - they didn't need it. They had the majority's support.

They didnt have the suport in the north of Ireland and the ship yard was something like 99.8 % prod workers.

no am scottish through and through. Yes English are't very well liked up here but the ship was built in ireland. Also harland and wolf would not employ any catholics so the ira may have done it. I remember reading somewhere that if u take titanics ship number (not 401) and turn it upside down and hold it up to a mirror it spells 'no pope' but u do have to have had a few vodka's this would do the ira's head in.
