It looks as within the last couple of weeks, violence has increased dramatically in Northern Ireland. I’ll defer to posters from the UK/Ireland here, but I was wondering if there’s been a real movement toward reconciliation since the Good Friday Agreement, or if it’s been a begrudgingly accepted peace. It seems like the Protestants and Catholics still leave in segregated neighborhoods and go to separate schools. Are there people who want to integrate and really try hard, or are they in the minority?
I’ve watched Derry Girls, and I remember the episode they meet the Protestants and it goes badly. Is that a relatively accurate perception of how difficult this issue is?
