Should the IRA apologise for past atrocoties?

Maguinness has effectively said that there is not going to be an apology . But should there be for the crimes that were carried out or should we just forgive and forget? It is a contentious issue. If an issue like this was raised on other forums it would descend into trolling and sniping so at least I know on PW the topic will be treated with respect
