What are the conflicts in Ireland today in 2009 between the Protestants and the Catholics?

Answer 1

There is some progress, there is some friendship between catholics and protestants but some people will refuse to forget about the past, personally I think N. Ireland is a dump, I don't think the conflict between catholics and protestants will ever change, however, it has improved over the years and hopefully will continue to do so.

Answer 2

Life in Northern Ireland today is much better than it used to be compared with the 1970s, 1980s and even most of the 1990s. There is still some slight conflict between Protestants and Roman Catholics but it is nowhere near on the same scale as it used to be. And largely these slight clashes don't result in violence. So generally speaking Northern Ireland is now a very peacefull and a rather nice place to live. - There isn't as much violence now as there used to be, however you still have to be careful about where you go if you are a certain religion. There are still people who will murder you if they find out of your religious persuasion. The paramilitary organisations ar still in existence, the most recent at this time (2008) being in 2007. Most of the violence has been forced underground, but it is still there.

Answer 3

That conflict should not be referred to in terms of Catholic and Protestant because it is political, economic and territorial more than religious. Wrong terminology used to manipulate through semantics. imo.
