because the british occupied northern irleand to protect the protestants and the Irish catholics resented their presance which has now resulted in violence.

The troubles in Ireland refer to a period of conflict primarily between nationalists (mainly Catholics) seeking a united Ireland and unionists (mainly Protestants) supporting British rule in Northern Ireland. This conflict, which lasted from the late 1960s to the late 1990s, resulted in violence, political instability, and deep divisions within Irish society. The impact of the troubles on Ireland's history and society includes loss of life, economic damage, and ongoing political tensions. The Good Friday Agreement in 1998 helped to bring about peace and reconciliation, but the legacy of the troubles continues to shape Ireland's social and political landscape.
Yes, but the "Battle " is now about jobs and housing. The history of Northern Ireland is one of religious warfare, with the Catholic majority fighting the Protestant minority.Today the Ulster counties of Northern Ireland are coming to grips with the fact that they are far behind the rest of Europe in education and industrial training/employment. Irish people are finally starting to realise that they have been killing each other for all most 150 years and nothing has been solved/resolved.In Canada, where I live, Irish people have proven that they CAN get along with each other, and forget about who is a mick or a Prod. Being out of Ireland also gets people to look around and see that they are no different than all the other tribes that inhabit the earth.Having to struggle in a new country takes most of their energy, and leaves little time for stupid and pointless arguing about religion. Of course, Canada does put much less emphasis on "where did you come from" than the USA does.Only a foreigner would write that.The Catholics were a MINORITY in the North, and were heavily opressed by Protestants.Answerthe conflict is now about perceptions of power and wealth, and territory! the majority in northern Ireland is Protestant, not catholic, and they feel that catholic areas receive preferential treatment in economic and political matters. this is partly true, but it is necessary to redress many years when the balance was the other way. much of the hatred, and there is very real hatred, is between the disadvantaged sections of both communities, who have been told that "the other side" is taking "their" jobs, schools etc. it isn't going to change very quickly. AnswerIn Northern Ireland the problem is less about religion these days and more about politics. For the vast majority of the island of Ireland there is no aminosity between Catholic and Protestant. I'm Catholic in Cork and went to a Protestant school, it is a non-issue. Plenty of my friends are Protestant, Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, New Agers, etc.Correct Answer -Hey! I live in Northern Ireland and have for my whole life just outside of Belfast in a town called Carrickfergus. Yea well here is an up to date answer! =Northern Irish Troubles are now over ended last year 2007 when Sinn Fein and the DUP decided to work together! There is no Catholic and protestant trouble but there still is a lot of stereotypes and abuse etc.. for both sides. Northern Ireland is not far behind in the education system because we are above England, Scotland and Wales and The Republic of Ireland in National Examinations and we are proven to be more intelligent. Northern Ireland has changed a lot and many would be impressed to see the changes! Belfast is now just as modern and as up to date with London or Dublin. So write back.
She became famous because she is part of the British Royal family and is now Queen of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Elizabeth has been famous all her life, even when it was not anticipated that she would ever become Queen. She received more attention after the sudden abdication of her uncle, King Edward VIII, when she became the heir apparent.
The ULSTER PROJECT is an interdernominational organization that promotes peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland. For decades, sectarian violence and strife has been waged between the Protestant (British) citizens of Northern Ireland and the Catholics (Irish). The Ulster Project was started by Rev. Canon Kerry Waterstone in the 1970's. The Project brings Catholic and Protestant youth from Northern Ireland to the United States each July. They are matched up with local youth and live with their American host families for the Project month. While they are here, the entire group works and plays together. They participate in daily activities of a social, service, and spiritual nature. The purpose of the Project is to allow impressionable teens from Northern Ireland to make friends with other teens who live on the opposite side of the conflict. These friendships last for a lifetime, and are maintained after the teens return home to Northern Ireland at the end of July. The American hosts teens give their Irish guests a chance to experience a different culture and way of life, in a country where different religions and nationalities find greater tolerance and acceptance. The Ulster Project has about 30 chapters located throughout the U.S. Thousands of Northern Ireland's young people have experienced the Project over the past three decades, and we believe the Project has made an impact upon the Northern Irish peace process. Many of out Project teens tell us this experience was "the greatest summer of their life". The Ulster Project needs help from local American volunteers to plan activities, raise funds and conduct the Project month in July. We also need families to host an Irish teen in their homes.

Northern Ireland is a safe society. Internationally, when people here about Northern Ireland it is often about problems that are there. So naturally people assume that is all there is to it and that the trouble is constant. That is not the case. Compared to 20 or 30 years ago, Northern Ireland rarely makes the international news headlines. In more modern times, when it has made the news it has often been for positive reasons. There are still problems, but they are not widespread and ordinary daily life carries on as normal. So despite what a lot of people think, Northern Ireland is a safe society and a lot safer than many societies.
