Question

Explain any three reasons for the conflicts between catholics and protestants in northern Ireland

Answer 1

There was serious political conflict in Northern Ireland fro many years.
The main reason for the conflict was:
The division and the demand for separation by the two existing social groups: Catholics and Protestants.
The protestant who were represented by the unionists demanded that they should not be separated from U.K.
on the other hand, the Catholics who were represented by the National party demanded that Northern Ireland should be unified with the Republic of Ireland which has been predominantly a catholic country.
Catholics did not have same rights and opportunities that the protestant had.
They were discriminated against in all aspects of life.
They barley found jobs, got less money from government and were often harassed by Police.
