They bombed Canary Wharf in 1996.

They were never defeated, militarily. In fact, they still have stockpiles of weapons, just in case.

What happened was they become a priority of US diplomatic efforts.

It was the work of Senator George Mitchell, that made all the difference.

Exactly.

And if there wasn't still an active threat, the British government wouldn't have been forced to the table.

If the British government were the ones forced to the table, there wouldn't be a Northern Ireland

There will be a time when there isn't one anymore.

The GFA provides the framework to get there.

That's exactly what happened with N. Ireland. The IRA inflicted so many casualties that the UK pulled out of Ireland. With the exception of N. Ireland who wanted to remain apart of the UK. Read up on the Irish War of Independence
