In the North,
there was a suspicion of southern Irish people. There was ideas that the Garda Síochána (Police of the Republic of Ireland/Éire) were colluding with the PIRA, and other nationalist Terror groups. Causing a suspicion of any southerners north of the border.
Though, many happily continued to go across the border for days out and enjoyed the sense of freedom south of the border, as there wasn't the same checkpoints, or searches whilst shopping.
Whilst in Britain, many ignored the Troubles. They seen it as something that wouldn't affect them, unless the IRA bombed a mainland target, such as the conservative party's conference in Brighton. Saying that, many hotels in the Mainland UK, had a "No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs." Policy. Which, we look upon now as downright racist, but that was just how they seen that they were doing their bit against the conflict in Ulster.
Southern Irish viewed the North, and still many do, as a dangerous place, filled with bombings and murders. (Despite Northern Ireland being one of the safest places on Earth, After Japan in terms of crime figures!) There was the idea that Loyalist paramilitary groups will bomb the South of Ireland. (It should be remembered, there are 113 deaths in the Republic of Ireland, relating to the Northern Irish troubles.)
In the North, the UDA (The British army's locally recruited regiment.) was believed to include 5-15% paramilitaries. So, there was a fear these people would attack Republicans and nationalists.

Why did the troubles in Northern Ireland start?
Most Protestants want to remain WITH Britain and not become part of a united Ireland. Irish nationalists want to unite the country - hence the troubles. The division of Ireland into the overwhelmingly Roman Catholic republic and the north, which remained part of the renamed the 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland', dates from 1921. In that year Ireland was divided, following a vicious civil war. The most recent 'troubles' have been ongoing since 1969 (with breaks). Joncey
