[edit] northern ireland conflicts

there is a really nice book called across the barricades that is about this...it's fantastic. it's about a catholic boy, kevin, and a protestant girl, sadie, they fall in love but they have to fight for it....it's really nice. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.53.58.78 (talk) 10:19, 30 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Civil rights movement section on NI a vandalised mess

Could someone who knows the subject take a look at Civil rights movement#Civil rights movement in Northern Ireland as it is a vandalised mess. Which in a way is good because what's left if you just delete the vandalisms is a bunch of non-sequiturs. --88.97.11.54 11:13, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I think we need to whip this article into shape, and then information from here can be copied and pasted over to the appropriate section of the Civil rights movement article. At this point, copying and pasting flawed content from this article into that one will only make matters worse. ---Theoldanarchist_Comhrá 23:37, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Civil war"?

The assertion in the opening that the conflict in Northern Ireland was "akin to a civil war" reads as very POV. Certainly, comparisons can be made, but an assertion of that sort, inserted by an editor without providing a source or a rationale, does nothing to aid understanding of the issue. It should be supported with verifiable sources or removed. ---Theoldanarchist_Comhrá 23:40, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

There is a document here that is worth reading on the NICRA [1].--padraig3uk 00:01, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scotland Yard

The Scotland Yard quote should be included. Readers need to know this Association's link with terrorist groups in Northern Ireland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.158.68.67 (talk) 19:20, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I see users are still deleting this information. Why are you so against including Scotland Yard's assessment? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.161.89.34 (talk) 10:19, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Try reading the quote properly, NICRA had no links. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 14:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

As an organisation yes, but individual members were terrorists as Scotland Yard says. That is the text added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.158.64.195 (talk) 23:25, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

No, the text you added misquoted the source you incorrectly placed in the text. What the quote from Scotland Yard said was that "individual members" of the IRA were encouraged to join the NICRA---not that members of the NICRA were encouraged to join the IRA. The full quote clearly exonerates the NICRA of involvement in terrorism. Try reading your source before you add misleading information. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 00:05, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

The quote makes it clear that terrorists were part of this Association. Many people actually blame the Association for Bloody Sunday by allowing terrorists into their midst. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.157.197.167 (talk) 09:06, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
