The main division of conflict is between the Republicans (Nationalists), which are associated with Catholics, and the Loyalists (Unionists), which are associated with Protestants. However in recent years the Loyalists have become less active in conflict and any violence has developed into usually the Republicans targeting the security forces (Police/Army) in Northern Ireland.
