What are the Differences in culture in Northern Ireland?
*This is generalising* The two main cultural groups in Northern Ireland are Protestants and Catholics Protestants: Political view= unionist/loyalist Nationality= British Catholics; PV= nationalist/republican N= Irish Protestants tend to play rugby, cricket, football Catholics tend to play Gaelic Football and Hurling, Protestants support Glasgow Rangers FC Catholics support Glasgow Celtic FC Protestants vote for DUP & UUP Catholics vote for Sinn Féin & SDLP Protestants live in east Belfast Catholics live in west Belfast Protestants go to state run schools Catholics go to Roman Catholic schools Protestants are in the Orange Order Catholics are in the GAA Protestants celebrate the Orange day (12th July) Catholics celebrate Easter Rising Catholics speak Irish as their 2nd language Protestants speak Ulster-Scots as their 2nd language Protestants wear a poppy to remember their fallen Catholics wear a lily to remember their fallen Protestants regard the IRA as terrorists Catholics regard the IRA as freedom fighters Protestants fly the Union flag Catholics fly the Tri-colour flag Protestants call the 2nd largest city 'Londonderry' Catholics call the city 'Derry' Protestants refer to 'Northern Ireland' Catholics refer to 'the north of Ireland' Catholics eyes are meant to be closer together Protestants say ee-ch for the letter H Catholics say he-ch for the letter H Protestants call Catholics; fenians or taigs Catholics call Protestants huns Protestants see Ian Paisley as their leader for unionism; Catholics see Gerry Adams as their leader for Irish nationalism Protestants read the Newsletter Catholics read the Irish Times Protestants tend to be more right-wing. DUP are anti-same-sex marriage, anti-abortion, conservative Catholics tend to be more left-wing. Sinn Féin are pro-same-sex marriage, pro-abortion, liberal Young Protestants are in flute bands Young Catholics do Irish dancing Protestants see the Queen as their figure head Catholics see the Pope as their figure head Catholics have larger families because of disapproval of contraception. *These are just stereotypes that I have just grown up with and do not apply to the majority of people here. Just a bit of banter.
Why do protestants not want a united Ireland?
Some people in the North of Ireland, Ulster, want to remain as part of the United Kingdom under British rule. And yes, they have different religious views to the Roman catholics who live there, and these Catholic people see their affinity to the Irish Republic governed from Dublin. Sadly this has led to a protracted period of violence, called the Troubles. The protestant majority (in the north) see the Dublin government as a foreign power. Hopefully power sharing as we seem to have these days has put the Troubles behind us, and the people of Ireland, whatever their religious differences can live together in peace. The Good Friday Agreement between Tony Blair & Bertie Ahern, as well as the Reverend Ian Paisley & Martin McGuinness, appears to have had a very big impact on the Province, and we no longer see the violence from there on our news programmes. I am not saying that everything is sweetness & light, but it is incomparably better now than it once was. Quite why the Irish can play Rugby Union as a united country (& always have) is a moot point ! well they have been under British rule so long they when you are occupied by another country for so long you may like there ways more how run the country things they with the population of the rest of Britain they could have lower taxes more benefits things like that all so by staying in the UK they wont have to pay this huge dept we have
