Politics in Belfast


Sad to see that there is still a huge division between the Catholics & Protestants, even after the Good Friday Peace Accord was signed by both sides in 98. When we were in Belfast, a riot broke out between the Loyalists & Catholics. We did not see any fighting, but we saw the helicopters circling the area as the police were searching houses for weapons. Apparently the rioting got pretty bad the week following our visit.
