> Actually, they did, back when Ireland as a whole voted for independence.
Can you point to a vote by the Irish people in favour of independence?
I'm pretty sure you can't given that no such vote has ever taken place.

The IRA derived their 'legitimacy' from it.
And to be quite frank, you are probably thinking of the Provisional IRA when you put legitimacy in quotes, where as this was the original IRA, who basically have nothing in common with the Provos (as they were called when I were a lad) except the name.
