IRA move prompts eBay trade in memorabilia

DOZENS of pieces of IRA memorabilia have appeared on internet auction site eBay since the terror group announced the end of its armed campaign last week.

More than 150 items have been put up for sale including original 1981 Hunger Strike posters and a gun-shaped badge posted just two hours after the July 28 4pm statement.

Second-hand books, CDs, DVDs and bumper stickers also feature in the mass sell-off by anonymous vendors in Belfast, Derry and London anxious to profit from the IRA’s decision to go out of business.
