Just found this fascinating archive TV documentary from several years ago.

This film shows how and why the troubles in Northern Ireland started back in the late 1960s.

The troubles go back further than the 1960's, its just then that they got a little more of a strop on the they had before and sort of went towards terrorism, before that Michael Collins and the irish civil war was in the 1920's and looking further back, they all started with the battle of the boyne in the 1690's - there is quite a long history there.

Ill have a look at the video clips over the weekend

Yeah it's a good one that Stoney.

If anyone's interested there's more here on the IRA and the INLA
Btw, it started in 1169 with English involvement in Irish affairs. Wiki
Also see Bloody Sunday with James Nesbitt, very good film that tries to not take sides.

I didnt know that - I havent had time to look at te video clips yet this weekend but I will do soon
