		The partition of Ireland was deeply resented, and the new institutions of Northern Ireland were opposed; militant elements of the republican tradition launched violent attacks upon the Province and its institutions both from within Northern Ireland and across the border.
		It must, of course, be remembered that the people of Northern Ireland bear tax obligations virtually identical with those borne by their fellow-citizens in Great Britain, and have made their own distinctive contributions in peace and in war to the progress, life and survival of the whole nation.
		At its inception Northern Ireland had suffered the impact of a major terrorist campaign; the threat of renewed violence was felt to be ever present, and indeed became a reality at different times, as for example between 1956 and 1962.

	Prime Minister's press briefing on Northern Ireland

		A different world in Northern Ireland, a different world outside of Northern Ireland, and if we want this peace process to succeed, it has got to be on the basis that everyone is very clear.
		Northern Ireland is a better place than it was 6 years.

	Prospects for the Peace Process in Northern Ireland - Council on Foreign Relations
		Because, as we have heard from the minister of justice in the Irish Republic, Michael McDowell, only recently, as well as from our own chief constable in Northern Ireland, the IRA is heavily engaged in criminal activity on a wide scale.
		So our model could allow for governments of Northern Ireland to continue not to be held to ransom by the IRA and to be able to withstand what comes its way in terms of what's happening in the streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland.
		The prime minister of the United Kingdom and the prime minister of the Republic of Ireland have decided that next Tuesday we should have meetings in Stormont [Northern Ireland’s parliament building in Belfast], so I suspect it's going to be further delayed.

	British Prime Ministers: Thatcher, Margaret (1925-) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		She was joint parliamentary secretary to the Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance (1961-64) and secretary of state for education and science (only the second woman ever to become a Conservative cabinet minister) under Prime Minister Edward Heath (1970-74).
		The Conservatives' decisive victory in the general elections of 1979, which elevated her to the prime ministry, was thought partly to have resulted from her denunciation of trade-union-induced chaos in the previous winter's strikes.
		She also continued to support the retention of Northern Ireland within the United Kingdom, although a terrorist bombing in Brighton, Sussex, in 1984, allegedly the work of Irish separatists, nearly succeeded in killing her and several senior members of her administration.

		Interesting reflection by Barney Rowan on the mediated nature of truth telling in Northern Ireland, in which ‘official truths’ are often constructed through negotiation, or battles in the press.
		In evidence to the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee last November, Sir Hugh also argued that people associated with paramilitary groups and with “substantial previous convictions” would not have the necessary credibility to be associated with schemes purporting to make the community a safer place.

		He claims that much of the unpopular reforms the the Northern Ireland Office are currently pushing through were originally conceived by the “locally elected Assembly”.
		The inference, as Mick correctly points out, is that the Northern Irish Assembly ministers know that some form of unpopular reform is necessary but that they don’t want to risk the PR backlash of being the ones to announce it.
		As the population statistics of Northern Ireland no longer reflect a Unionist majority, so Unionist leaders must make the case for the Union to a population broader than the conservative Protestants whose votes they have traditionally taken for granted.

	Why was Bush in Belfast? By June Thomas
		President Bush's flying visit to Belfast for a confab with Tony Blair—the pair's third meeting in less than a month—was seen by the British and Ulster papers as an indication of the British prime minister's transatlantic influence, a sign that Northern Ireland's stalled power-sharing agreement may soon be revived, and an awkward social occasion.
		In Northern Ireland, most papers were guardedly optimistic.
		It is an embarrassment to all of them." The unionist News Letter conceded that although the George and Tony show amounts to "little more than scene-setting and moraleboosting," it intensifies pressure on the parties concerned to move toward an agreement as the fifth anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement approaches.
