Ireland finds itself transported to Equestria via druidic magics that were accidentaly activated during the fighting of the easter rising. With the peoples of both countries panicking, Celestia has no choice but to send an armed force to restore the peace. Decades later, the Irish have reluctantly been absorbed into Equestria, but the IRA is still giving trouble. Especially to the new governor, Blueblood.

If Blueblood's in charge I'll be right there with the IRA making strike plans to take him down personally. The wanker.

Oh lord, traded one imperial master for another.

Go IRA

Shoot on sight

Funny things that in comics Blueblood is not that bad. He still arrogant, a bit of a cloudcuckoolander but in same time a pretty accomplished diplomat and quite the smooth operator.
And way more interesting that typical one-dimensional Blueblood from fanfics.

6494861
and that could be worked into the story. Blueblood attempts to do whats best for Equestria as well as the irish, but his personality flaws, plus the fact that the Irish, already chafed by their feud with the english, fight against him at every turn.

Nothing against Ireland or anything, but I wonder if someday we might instead get to see a fic where the Scots are teleported to Equestria, there to wage battle with their sworn enemy, the Scots.

Nice

Well what time period of Ireland are we talking about? Modern, Dark ages, during about the time when the actual IRA would have formed? Either way I'll read it, hell, I'll be the editor for the thing if you need one.

Just after the Easter rising in 1916

6494833 Sounds perfect.

The UK (an actual country) doesn't have to deal with the Irish being useless and annoying because they decided they want to get all their anger out during peacetime instead of the Second World War and Equestria only has to deal with a gimped IRA because the Americans can't give them money or guns.

With what knowledge of guns they have, you can be certain that magic will make it infinitely worse.

This is Ireland we’re talking about. If they can win against the English. They can win against Equestria

Equestria only has to deal with a gimped IRA because the Americans can't give them money or guns.

Actually, considering the fact Equestria doesn't have guns, the guns the IRA does have are a massive advantage. Equestria also probably is not used to dealing with lots of bombings and riots.

Equestria also probably is not used to dealing with lots of bombings

Equestria probably isn't used to terror bombings because there aren't any Semtex factories in Equestria. By the same fact, they won't need to, because there is no Semtex in Equestria.

and riots.

Considering there aren't any Catholics or Irish nationalists in Equestria that also wouldn't be a problem.

Until they run out of ammunition or Equestria just floods the country.

No, but the IRA had Semtex already. It wouldn't last for long, but it is certainly something.

Considering there aren't any Catholics or Irish nationalists in Equestria that also wouldn't be a problem.

Yes, but remember this is Ireland, so both are still there as well as former British soldiers, and Equestrian troops garrisoning the country.

Until they run out of ammunition

Of course, but it is still a big advantage when they do have ammunition.

or Equestria just floods the country.

>nation with 1000 years of peace led by a benevolent ruler
>genociding a race and destroying a country
haha no

No it wouldn't last for long and unable to make anymore it wouldn't be an effective weapon.

Yes, but remember this is Ireland, so both are still there as well as former British soldiers,

The Unionists aren't going to side with the IRA.

Of course, but it is still a big advantage when they do have ammunition.

Highlighting the period of time that isn't indicate of most of the conflict doesn't mean anything.

>nation with 1000 years of peace led by a benevolent ruler
>genociding a race and destroying a country
haha no

It stops being a nation with 1000 years of peace if the IRA bomb them doesn't it?

6502199

No it wouldn't last for long and unable to make anymore it wouldn't be an effective weapon.

If they used it conservatively, it would be an effective terror device.

The Unionists aren't going to side with the IRA.

No, but they wouldn't side with the Equestrians either. It'd be a 3-way war, or insurgency.

Highlighting the period of time that isn't indicate of most of the conflict doesn't mean anything.

They could use it to raid Equestrian armouries and obtain their weapons to continue the fight.

It stops being a nation with 1000 years of peace if the IRA bomb them doesn't it?

Doesn't suddenly make them genocide happy either.

If they used it conservatively, it would be an effective terror device.

if they used it conservatively they wouldn't achieve impact with it.

No, but they wouldn't side with the Equestrians either. It'd be a 3-way war, or insurgency.

The Unionists would recognise they wouldn't win by themselves and understand that Equestria wouldn't try to shoot all of them and would definitely avoid sperging out as only Irish republicans can.

They could use it to raid Equestrian armouries and obtain their weapons to continue the fight.

Equestrian armouries don't stock 7.6

Doesn't suddenly make them genocide happy either.

Considering that you suggest the IRA maintain their policy of holding themselves to zero moral standard they probably wouldn't mind.

6502204

if they used it conservatively they wouldn't achieve impact with it.

Equestria's never been bombed before. A single bomb would achieve impact.

The Unionists would recognise they wouldn't win by themselves and understand that Equestria wouldn't try to shoot all of them and would definitely avoid sperging out as only Irish republicans can.

So they'd side with Equestria? Ha.

Equestrian armouries don't stock 7.6

They stock weapons

Considering that you suggest the IRA maintain their policy of holding themselves to zero moral standard they probably wouldn't mind.

Sure, just massacre everyone, even the ones not involved with the IRA.

Equestria's never been bombed before. A single bomb would achieve impact.

The IRA has never bombed Australia before. If they did it wouldn't paralyse the entire country.

Ha.

Isn't an argument.

They stock weapons

None the IRA are proficient in.

Sure, just massacre everyone, even the ones not involved with the IRA.

If the Irish don't want to be associated with the IRA maybe they should do something about stopping the IRA from associating with them.

6503662

The IRA has never bombed Australia before. If they did it would paralyse the entire country.

Equestria has not had a war in 1000 years or more.

Isn't an argument.

Do you really think the unionists would side with Equestria?

None the IRA are proficient in.

They can still use them.

If the Irish don't want to be associated with the IRA maybe they should do something about stopping the IRA from associating with them.

Some Irish do, others don't.

Equestria has not had a war in 1000 years or more.

Equestria has had a being stop the rotation of sun and moon, an insane demi-god altering their reality, a being that escaped from the underworld and personaly robbed each of them of their magic which is almost their life-force, an invasion by a mad king, and an ancient creature of shadows that wanted to destroy the world.

They went back to work the very next day and never gave a fuck about all that.

These ponies are fucking hardcore.

EDIT: Also, 6504190, it is bad form to alter someone's words when quoting them.

6504190

Equestria has not had a war in 1000 years or more.

During WW1 Canada had never been in a war before but they did an excellent job.

Do you really think the unionists would side with Equestria?

They wouldn't side with the IRA would they?

They can still use them.

And lose.

Some Irish do, others don't.

Well then the Irish who do not would quickly find the motivation to do something about the IRA.

OOH AH UP THE RA!
