		In the late 19th century, Irish nationalism became the dominant ideology in Ireland, having a major Parliamentary party in the Parliament of the United Kingdom at Westminster that launched a concerted campaign for Repeal of the Act of Union or self-government.
		In 2004, Ireland revoked, in a referendum, a clause in the constitution added in 1998 that said that anyone born in Ireland was automatically an Irish citizen.
		The text of the Belfast Agreement, endorsed by the Irish nationalist parties SDLP and Sinn Féin and the government of the Republic of Ireland, recognises this, marking an official acceptance by Irish Nationalist parties of the validity of alternative loyalties.

	Ireland’s new shade of green \| openDemocracy
		In Ireland it is the "national question" rooted in civil-war politics - and (especially where the pan-Ireland nationalist party Sinn Fèin is concerned) the thirty-year "troubles" in Northern Ireland, which demarcates the major political parties.
		Thus, the main political rivalry in Ireland is between two centre-right parties - Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael - whose polarisation echoes the issues and positions dominant in the era of Ireland's civil war of 1922-23 and after.
		The party's long experience of survival and mutation in Northern Ireland, including its ability to gather into its fold a younger generation of vigorous activists, seemed likely to guarantee it an increased vote-share, if not to a position of power-broker as a new government was formed.

	ETHNIC CONFLICT AND THE TWO-STATE SOLUTION :: John Coakley
		Instead, it proposed to allocate two predominantly nationalist counties to Northern Ireland, with a view to increasing the territory and population of that state to the maximum level that could comfortably be controlled by the unionist majority (the settlement thus left an overall Catholic minority of 34.4% within Northern Ireland).
		Furthermore, the government of the Republic of Ireland appeared to be moving towards acceptance of partition in the long term; this was implicit in the first-ever visit of the southern prime minister (taoiseach), Sean Lemass, to meet his Northern Ireland counterpart in 1965.
		Second, the old Nationalist Party, as we have seen, was replaced by a newer configuration, the SDLP, which since the beginning of the 1970s has stood for a settlement based on two principles, both of them amounting to recognition of partition but seeking to redefine its meaning.

		The party is a major player in the precarious Northern Ireland peace process—in place since 1998—and is responsible for the ongoing IRA ceasefire.
		While Sinn Féin (Gaelic for "Ourselves Alone") has committed itself to achieving a united Ireland through political means, two events last month serve to illustrate the ambiguities of a party wedded to the painful past of Northern Ireland, yet committed to a future that is free of the violent past.
		In the June 2001 elections for the Assembly, Sinn Féin overtook former Nobel Prize-winner John Hume's moderate nationalist party, the Social Democratic Labor Party (SDLP), as the leading nationalist party in Northern Ireland.

		Ireland had at that time her Parliament sitting at Dublin, with Lords and Commons, an ancient institution dating from the days of the Plantagenets, similar to the Parliament in London, and having experienced the same evolution and vicissitudes.
		Ireland might thus become independent, and let us not forget that that is the ultimate goal at which we all aim, to sever the last link in the chain which binds Ireland to England." This is the doctrine of total separation which neither his Parliamentary predecessors nor his successor Redmond ever dared avow so brutally.

	Government Interventionism in Ireland, Part 1
		Ireland at the turn of the 20th century was poised for change.
		In fact, the only measurable effect of their efforts was to further polarize relations between Ireland’s Catholic majority, which wanted some degree of self-government but disagreed widely on the form, and the unionists, the pro-British Protestant minority concentrated mostly in the urban centers of Ulster.
		In Ireland, the most visible advantages of 19th-century capitalism could be seen in Ulster, where industries thrived and living standards soared, relative to the rest of the country.

		A period of intensive negotiations between the parties and the two Governments failed to resolve all outstanding difficulties and Assembly elections, held in November 2003, resulted in the DUP and Sinn Féin becoming the largest parties on the unionist and nationalist side respectively.

		Although Redmond and his fellow nationalists were incredibly determined and committed to keeping the entire island of Ireland together under the Home Rule Bill, the agitation and disruption caused by Ulster's desire to remain part of the United Kingdom could not be ignored.

		Trimble said the two centrist parties from the unionist (Protestant) and nationalist (Catholic) communities held the key to progress, and urged voters to âreinvigorateâ the center by backing the two main moderate groups in the general election.
