: Depends. The IRA still active?
The IRA is in the process of decommisioning their weapons and agreeing to peace, but a radical faction who call themselves the "Real IRA" are continuing the violence.
Secterianism is very bad in the North too. Just three days ago the captain of the Northern Ireland football (Neil Lennon) team was forced to retire from internation football becaue he received death threats on the day of a game against Cyprus. The reason for the threats was because he plays for a Scottish team called Glasgow Celtic, who are a Catholic team.
It's a sad state of affairs.
