"Northern Ireland where conflicting nationalisms and conflicting religious dogmas and symbols clash openly..." Northern Ireland's problems stem from British colonialism and the policy of divide and conquer. It was after all a geographically gerrymandered province called Ulster: dissected from the rest of Ireland to keep a Protestant "British" population ascendant and maintain their corresponding privileges: most especially that of available jobs. Catholic Irish Nationalism in NI is explained more by the Pro-protestant sectarian policies of Harland and Wolff shipyard than by any ethnic fable.
