The Northern Ireland Question

Andy @ Allerton · October 18, 2006

Does anyone think this will be resolved in our lifetimes (Obviously not in Murphs )?

How are things there at present? Is the situation any better or worse than it was..?

My girlfriend recently went to Belfast and was talking to a few friends she's known for years and they said that the older generation wanted to keep it going - but by and large the kids were fed up with the whole thing and more mixing was going on between them. Her friend said not too long ago - you'd get your windows done and your front door kicked in if they found out you were a Catholic with a Proddie or vice-versa.. But now things are starting to finally settle down..

How true is the above - are things settling down - or was it never as bad as mentioned above? - or is it a point of view - or where you live that determines what you think about the current situation?

As I've never been there - but I've always wanted to go - would you recommend visiting the place?

Finally will the Irish, the Northern Irish and the British ever finally lay this to rest as things stand - or would other measures need to be taken for it to be acceptable to all parties?
