The problem in Northern Ireland is simple.

The two sides want different things. There is no ground for compromise.

To Unionists (a slight majority in the 6 counties) , merger with Ireland is a denial of their self-determination.

To Nationalists (an Island wide majority) feel that without the entire Island THEIR right to self determination is violated.

The Only deal that could make lasting peace is an Irish reconciliation with Great Britain, or the expulsion of the Protestants from Northern Ireland.

This is far from an economic issue. A large number of members from both sides are working class.
