Between 1921 and the mid 1960s Catholics in Northern Ireland faced many problems. After the War Of Independence, in 1919, the country of Ireland was divided into two parts; The North, here there was a large Protestant Majority, each of the six Ulster counties had their own parliament and their own government. The South, largely occupied by Irish Catholics, most opposed the idea of dividing Ireland. But in 1921 a group of Sinn Fein, and IRA members signed an treaty with the British, accepting the division of Ireland. This was when what's known as 'Northern Ireland' was created, dominated by Protestants. In 1969 The British Government sent the army into Northern Ireland to "Prevent a Civil War". Despite all the unfairness the Catholics had to deal with, this had not been necessary earlier. Many things changed between 1960-1969. The Police in Northern Ireland were 99.9% Protestant and extremely biased and violent towards Catholics, they would attack innocent Catholics for no reason whatsoever. The Police even led the Catholic marchers into a trap, here they were met by violent Protestant Unionists, the outcome was inevitable, violence. and u know the rest ! |

Which is cheaper right now for I am planning a trip in
August. Right now, I know that
all places in Europe are
expensive because of dollar's
weakness. I was just wondering
if I would get more bang for
my buck in the Republic or
Northern Ireland. Thanks!

Met some Americans last week who found the whole Irish thing expensive, north or republic. There's not really much difference between the two countries value wise at the present - best thing to do is try both sides of the border for a few days. |
