The conflict in Ireland is over nationalism and unionism. As nationalists, whom persist of mostly the catholic community wanted a free Ireland, free from British rule and unionists wanted to obtain the united north of Ireland with the British crown. The troubles in Northern Ireland were a time of serious unrest with murders on both sides of the community, it was a terrible time indeed. Nowadays both sides of the community do try to get along but communities remain divided and the unfortune presence of loyalist paramilitary criminals leave both the protestant and catholic communities threatened. The real IRA also cause trouble nowadays as there are people who believe that the violent struggle for freedom should remain, these people split away from the IRA when guns were given up. Due to devolution after the Good Friday agreement unionists and nationalist parties now work together in a shared government.
