So was your crime related to the troubles?

Diplock courts mean it was

I suspected so Sandy.

i would imagine that if your offences were linked to terrorism, it's exceedingly unlikely

if you're a UK citizen going for a holiday you shouldn't need a visa.

I can`t really see who they`d know. You don`t need a visa and there are no questions on the landing cards about criminal records. The only info they would have on you would be APIS and unless you`re wanted in Canada or on an international terrorist list, they would know nothing about your past.

beezaneez hasn't said what his conviction was for, but i guess if he was tried in a Diplock court, there is more than a remote possibility it was to do with terrorism
