I got my first call couple of days ago from a HH - Still in my first job out of Uni. Going to meet someone for a "coffee". What should I expect from them? and what would they expect from me?

IRA ends armed activity

<t>the "why now" Im not entirely sure of. I don't think this does have anything to do with Al Q'aida and the changing landscape of terrorism. Political ambitions in N. Ireland are stronger than ever.
