The luck of the Irish may have run out, with the recent shock murder of two soldiers and the wounding of four others, including a couple of innocent pizza delivery men who inadvertently provided opportunity for the gunmen to launch their attack.
This sort of event had been due for some time now, with several security threats registered on police forces over the last year, with only a bit of Irish luck and determination deflecting previous murder attempts. That luck has run out.
I hope and I pray this is not going to spiral back down to the level of violence we saw 30 years or so ago.
What happens next is going to be important. Let us hope wiser heads prevail and Ireland can pull back from the brink.
