Well, assisting a terrorist organisation that's been carbombing one of your closest allies for decades isn't exactly something you tend to talk about too much.
And it's not too surprising. There're a lot of Irish emigrants and decendents over in the US. It'd be a great place to get support. Hell, back in the twenties, when the IRA first began the War of Independance, Sinn Féin's leader (Eamonn De Valera) went to the US to try and raise funds and support.
I'm sure Seafort or someone else could give you more details than myself. I only know the basics.
