October 1998 Irish Coup (Triumph of Whitelaw)

The October 1998 Irish Coup was a MI6 lead operation to remove Irish President Mary Robinson and IRA sympathiser Gerry Adams from their positions of power. In Ireland the response was that of chaos until the next day when British diplomats met with Irish Representatives and on October 30th the New Irish Government was formed under Anglo-friendly President David Trimble who created the Irish Democrat Party the same day.
