Because the IRA didn't truly give up violence. They had Sinn Fein for that.
MLK was ignored, and the Black Panthers showed what could happen if you ignore them.
Gandhi wasn't recognised by the British until the terrorist acts and rebellions in India.
The violence isn't the "solution", it is the response to the negotiations being ignored. Its the "good cop/bad cop" in all these situations. There are plently of peaceful groups who have been working towards better healthcare, but made no progress. This is the point where they can start saying
