But those behind last November's collapse of a 14-month ceasefire hail from the likes of Getxo, police believe. Of two former and possibly current ETA men I spoke to, one trained to be a journalist, the other worked in an architect's office. Whatever grievances they have against the state, deprivation is not one of them. I never met their like in west Belfast. Stroll down Getxo's high street and it does not take long to spot the irony.
Every bank is blackened from firebombs.
An especially posh clump of houses was blown up last month. Middle class and gainfully employed they may be, but Eta members do not like the symbols of capitalism.
