If they believe the conflict in Ireland had it genesis in religion then I agree with you
The religious undertone will always be there as it dates back 100's of years

A united Ireland, a Catholic and Protestant Ireland, but one that is truly united, is their goal.
Here in England you never hear about Catholics getting fricked with anymore and in Ireland nothing about Protestants being harassed.
But in Glasgow and Belfast people won't get with the times.

Agree that will likely always be the case given its generally the dividing line and how each side is readily identified.
My impression is that the violence has been replaced with political activism. Will never claim to be a Gerry Adams fan but he's helped keep the peace.

The Irish had been singing drinking songs about robbing and killing English landowners for generations before Henry VIII was born.
The strict division along religious lines is new.
Charles Stewart Parnell was a Protestant.
Wolfe Tone was a Protestant.
William Butler Yeats was a fricking wizard.
