Growing up and living in Northern Ireland during those turbulent years before the GFA, whether the GFA had much of an impact?

I watched the documentary last night, there was one years back on BBC1 on Panorama which looked at how the Catholics were treated. If you were around during the 1970's, the media portrayed it as if the Catholics were the problem, they were causing the problem. I remember as a child / teen, we were put off going places due to attacks in the Mainland. It's interesting to see a side that was never really reported. It must have been hell to live through for everyone?

From the little I know, I think it's the Historical Enquiries Team working for families to get answers to questions.

Is life better now, is there more integration? Do you think a hard border would reignite tensions? Did you want to integrate before, or was it a no go situation?

My history is not your entertainment.

I agree with previous poster, If you want to know what life was like for us, visit the library and read books about it, don't make us relieve our memories just because of your curiosity

It's definitely not a form of entertainment. Really sorry for any offence caused.

Try Google then. 🤔 would you put a post up about, say Syrian refugees and ask them how bad it was that they fled their homes? Of course you wouldn’t and you’d get flamed and told you were out of order. But because it’s Northern Ireland it’s purient nosiness. And it’s not ok.
