Level. This is most probably to represent that the methods used by the paramilitaries was against
everything religion, politics, working men and women and children. However, the other group (the
paramilitaries) is walking down the staircase, as they try to cause trouble and want to keep Eire and
Ulster separate. Neither Nationalists nor Unionists liked the idea and it resulted in a stronger IRA
and a great deal of protests. The Unionists are mostly Protestant whereas the Nationalists are mostly

need to be tackled are definitely violence and destruction in Ireland from the paramilitaries, and the
trust that they have in the new government, because if they (paramilitaries) can trust the new
reformed peaceful government to make the right decisions for everyone, then they won’t need their
firearms and hostile approaches to get attention and get their own way. My opinion is that this source

just line the streets and turn their backs on the parade. Later on that year in November the I.R.A.
provos start their fight against the British and unionists. This could be seen in favour of the Catholics

want. Within 48 hours the Irish republicans were outnumbered 20 to 1 by English troops. The British
government decided to execute the leaders, this therefore lead to them becoming martyrs. However
this does give us a possibly exaggerated image of how the Protestants were treated by Catholics.
There were particularly serious riots between the Nationalists and the Unionists in 1934 and 1935 in
Belfast, following on from the Orange marches. The agreement said that if Sinn Fein got the I.R.A.

John Major and the tioisarch, Albert Reynolds, shook on this. This is different from how they felt in
1500 as they had rights then and they were in power, now they have lost all power and had only the
basic rights. And the civilians follow the workers as they are mainly their husbands that are working,
and the civilians are mainly women and their children. However Ireland stayed a country that was

The army fired over 1500 rounds of ammunition in gun battles with the IRA, 4 people were killed,
tear gas was used, the area was put under a curfew for 35 hours sand homes were wrecked as they
were searched. William won great victories at the battle of the Boyne and at Aughrim, It was not
long before James II and the catholic armies surrendered. This sparked the Anglo-Irish that was
fought between the British forces and the IRA. The third law stopped Catholics from changing the
laws violently e.g. they can’t join the army, own a gun or a horse. Therefore this source is reliable but
weak as he could have been quoted in such a way that makes him seem anti-catholic. The IRA was
so enraged at the killing of the Catholic marchers, that they began a bombing campaign against the
British troops who they had once welcomed into the country. He kicks with the wrong foot.” Now
although this shows clear discrimination against Catholics in sports: Protestant Linfield scouts would
find a problem with any player no matter how good they were on the basis that they were catholic. It

separated and segregated from birth here. This is a very useful source in assessing the discrimination
against Catholics, as it comes from an organisation, rather than just a single person making a
statement about the discrimination against young Catholic footballers. This was a very controversial
term of the Treaty as I meant that there could not be a full Republic and it divided many families.
From the responses to these executions and the IRA’s bombing campaign, Lloyd George came up
with an inventive solution. Partition. However, this left the problem of discrimination. Although
there was this it also showed that Irish school children were brought up to be patriotic and
nationalists she still strongly believes that Protestants cannot be classed as Irish. The Orange Order
also forbids their members from marrying Catholics, this shows that they don’t like to mix with
Catholics. A battle broke out between Catholic and Protestant youths. The Downing Street
Declaration also put pressure on this cease-fire if they wanted Sinn Fein who are own their side to
have any say of what happens to Northern Ireland. In contrast, the SDLP is strongly opposed to the
use of militant tactics and is the main voice of parliamentary nationalism in Northern Ireland. Article
one, which was written on January 4 th 2002 by Charles Clover for the Daily Telegraph, comments
