	BBC - Northern Ireland - Ask Events - Ask... Marcus Patton
		I presume that Northern Ireland Railways would say they can't maintain stations that are large and require regular maintenance and sadly they have often replaced handsome stations with something more like bus stops.
		Marcus Patton: Northern Ireland has always been twenty or thirty years behind the times even in the 18th century we were behind the times.
		While perhaps we have a less interesting heritage from the twentieth century than we inherited from the nineteenth it is often hard to appreciate buildings until they have been around for a period of time and their strangeness has become familiar.

	CAIN: Politics: Lynn, B. (1997), Holding the Ground the Nationalist Party in Northern Ireland, 1945-1972
		The subject under discussion was to be the issue of religious discrimination in Northern Ireland and it seemed to offer the Nationalist Party a perfect opportunity not only to present detailed evidence of examples but also to show a wider audience that it was capable of successfully campaigning to rectify these.
		Throughout his campaign he had stressed the necessity for a new approach to be taken by the nationalist community in Northern Ireland and he argued ‘they needed unity, not only of their country but also among the national minded people of the six Counties and all over the six Counties’.
		This was to surface after a visit of a number of Labour MPs, organised by Fitt, to Northern Ireland to enable them to see for themselves the grievances people had in such areas as Derry and Strabane, and their subsequent call for a 'united front’ amongst the various opposition parties in the province.
