 | | The infamous Bogside area, traditionally Catholic, has traditionally been one of the most impoverished in the country, and its citizens marginalized. |
 | | The famous Bogside riots of 1968 occurred when a peaceful civil rights march was baton-charged by the RUC and the B- specials, and this is generally regarded as one of the major contributing events to the modern phase of the Troubles. |
 | | During this "Battle of the Bogside", the Taoiseach of the Republic, Jack Lynch, actually sent the army to the border to set up a field hospital for the bogsiders because they weren't allowed to go to Derry's hospital. |
