      @@fionanmurphy4107 With few exceptions, most Catholics in Ireland were poor, while those of Protestant background in ALL of Ireland were generally much richer... and this was a result of centuries of British rule where one had privilages as a Protestant subject compared to a Catholic British subject. Also after the independence of the Irish Republic, the British made sure they had a stranglehold on the Irish economy and it even took many years before the msin Irish sea ports were in full sovereign hands of the new Irish Republic. When the Republic of Ireland joined the EEC in 1973 the amount of trade with the UK was about 75%... today it is about 15% and Brexit will become a catalyst for the British economic influential decline with Ireland.. both in the Republic and NI.
      Psychologically the past discrimination of centuries can be seen clearest in Ulster, where the majority of Protestants only assume extreme positivity towards being British... because they and their ancestors gained from bring British... while the majority of Catholics Nationalists are often quite anti-British, reflected in their own and their ancestors' negative experiences of British rule. A regime lasting centuries and being one of economic and cultural subordination and domination. The sectarian divides in Ulster are coldly logical in their development, if one has a good understanding of a few centuries of history.
      Past British rule in Ireland is certainly a direct and MAJOR factor in the poverty of Ireland of the past, but more so amongst those of Catholic background... less so for the historically Protestant ascendency in British ruled Ireland...

      @@edwardtanner6393 Well actually, the tragedy of partition was that the Catholic Church would not have gained the social monopoly it acquired had the Irish population been 25% Protestant. Also, the independent Free State was cut off from the most powerful industrial base in the North East. This made it difficult for Ireland to achieve economic growth as a small economy. Over time, it resulted in economic decay in Northern Ireland too, as the traditional shipbuilding industry went into decline after WW2.

      @@edwardtanner6393 Basically Protestants and Catholics in Ireland shared the same conservative values between the 1920s and the 1960s. Protestant Ulster under Craigavon was just as conservative as the Irish Republic under De Valera. Most Protestants went to Church services almost as often as Catholics went to mass and there were actually very few divorces among Protestants in the North up to the 1970s, even though it was legal. Plus the North banned abortion and gay sex when these were made legal in England, so you can't blame that on the Catholic Church. Whether you are talking about ship-building industry in Belfast or cattle industry in the South, Britain will always be the number one export destiny for Irish produce, whether or not the whole of Ireland is independent. It is the same for other small European countries like Holland and Denmark in their economic exports to Germany and France. Holland has large Catholic and large Protestant populations that could work together to make the country an economic success without sacrificing its independence to Germany. An All-island Irish economy can easily do the same.

    The tables have turned when new estates are built they claim to be mixed. But nationalist flags are soon erected and protestants are put out of their houses....happened in Newtownabbey. A United Ireland will become the new Israel in Northern Ireland. The oppressed Nationalist become the oppressors. If the Palestinians have a right to exist in the land they grew up in so do Protestants. A United Ireland cannot be seen as a way to cleanse the land of the British which I fear is what many expect it to do. Many in Northern Ireland have lived here for many many generations. This is our home too. Any hope of a new Ireland will have to find a way to accept and protect the protestants citizens of this island to ensure they are seen and protected from nationalist historical retribution.

      I first came across actual trouble on the streets in 1969 but, at that time, there was no particular sectarian problem in the predominantly Protestant area of North Belfast /Newtownabbey where I lived. I even worked in the Shipyard in the 60’s! I was on my way home from the Ulster Grand Prix in August. 1969 with two Protestant friends when on the way down the road towards Andersontown we arrived at a barricade and were stoned for no reason at all by a group of thugs. Of course I was aware of the civil rights marches in 1968 and the trouble around them which essentially kicked off the troubles but the point I am making is that it was possible to get along with Protestants without much problem in the 1960’s and that severe sectarian problems did not permeate every aspect of life like they came to do in the 1970’s. No doubt you’ll find a smart arse comment but you should respect the fact that this was my lived experience. No doubt others had worse experiences but this was how I found things then.
