 Towards the end with Libya's involvement the IRA had a pretty significant stockpile of arms....The Good Friday agreements seemed like they gave up some but do you think they gave everything up or still ready for use to this day?

Plenty of weapons are still stashed in farm houses and attics waiting for the time that they will be retrieved.

All the old and broken crap was turned in. The good stuff his been hidden away. This applies to both loyalists and Irish republicans.
Who verified the decommissioning process? I don't believe for a second the PIRA had only 1000 rifles. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_International_Commission_on_Decommissioning Among the weaponry estimated (by Janes Intelligence) to have been destroyed as part of this entire process were: 1,000 rifles, 3 tonnes of Semtex, 20–30 heavy machine guns, 7 surface-to-air missiles (unused), 7 flame throwers, 1,200 detonators, 20 rocket-propelled grenade launchers, 100 hand guns, and 100+ grenades.[5] |

Give'em up?
You're daft, man. In the 1980s, there were Provos toting Webleys from WWI. Give'em up. Man, that's funny. |

No,
I have heard there are significant cache's of weapons not only in the North, but in the republic as well. All populations stockpile arms, those that live under restrictions simply do so in secret. I expect the same is true in other parts of Europe and Australia. |

My guess is that a large portion of the illegal weapons recovered in England are former IRA materiel...
And no, not for a second do I believe that either side has given up their ability to defend themselves if the need arises in the future-would you? |

When I was at Barrett, we would get an inquiry for a trace on one of our .50's that had been found. That was into the early, mid '90s

They didn't give them up, they were put 'beyond use' whatever that means. Either they buried them in concrete or cut them up to the satisfaction of John DeChastellin (or however you spell his name) Whether they did this to all of them is questionable |
