From the start of the 1798 Irish revolution all the way up until the war of Irish independence in the early 20th century all the way up to the times of the 1970s Irish protestants and Irish Catholics were united. Yes even the IRA of the 1970s had support from Irish protestants and sympathy even from British protestants.
Sands’s hunger strike garnered both national and international attention, as well as public requests that the British government grant the prisoners’ demands. Arguably, the most significant development of the strike occurred when Sands entered the campaign for member of parliament (MP) for the Northern Ireland county of Fermanagh and South Tyrone. On April 10, after 41 days on hunger strike and much to the shock of the IRA leadership, Sands won the seat with more than 30,000 votes. His election sent shock waves throughout Ireland and the British government. After all, the British policy of criminalization depended on their assertions that the IRA had little public support and was a band of renegade criminals.
