		Northern Ireland became, in the words of Nobel Peace Prize joint-winner, Ulster Unionist Leader and First Minister of Northern Ireland David Trimble, a "cold place for Catholics." Gerrymandered towns and city boundaries rigged local government elections to ensure Protestant control of local councils.
		Similarly, on visits to Northern Ireland, the President of Ireland, Mary McAleese, met with unionist ministers and with the local Lord Lieutenant of each county, the representative of the Queen.
		Once established under the Government of Ireland Act 1920, Northern Ireland was structured geographically so as to have a unionist majority, unionist fears as to what would happen to them forming the basis for their opposition to a united Ireland, which led to creation of the two Irish states.

		Policing a divided society such as in Northern Ireland proved difficult, as each community (nationalist and unionist) used different symbols and had different attitudes towards the institutions of the state.
		Northern nationalists however viewed the Northern Irish state as sectarian, anti-catholic, anti-nationalist and an invalid creation that had partitioned the island of Ireland against their will to create a pro-union electoral majority.
		The first RUC casualty of the new disorder was in October 1969, the first clear victims of a campaign by the new Provisional IRA (a breakaway from the Official IRA) were in August 1970.

	Dáil Debate - 18 June 2002
		Deputy McGinley alluded to the fact that it was agreed some time ago that changes would be made to allow members from other Administrations to sit on the body, but Unionists did not take up that option.
		The Minister referred to a stop-go approach but communities have been engaged in such an approach because the Minister and FÁS have not ensured there is planned and co-ordinated implementation of FÁS social economy schemes, which are essential to fill gaps in the labour market in the areas of health, education and the environment.
		Deputy Hogan is correct that this is not just an issue of motor insurance; there are wider implications and huge changes which must be made across various Departments.
