I had intended to edit the page to indicate that it was Brooke who used the phrase "...not have a roman catholic about the place" as this term has been referred to relatively recently in the context of the contentious issue of relative levels of unemployment and disposable income in northern ireland. My source for his having made the remark is the Sunday Tribune and that is not suitable for wikipedia. Does anyone have a source for this remark? 159.134.228.127 18:18, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

What about an evaluation? northern Ireland under Brooke was ecnonomically stagnant, he was aggressively sectarian. Surely as a consequence he is the father of the troubles.
