Work in Protestant areas that also suffer, just like Catholics
Community relations is married to Community development
Informal grouping w/o communities
Most evident during marching
Work to empowering people
Communities have very much in common
Always been the case
Nationalist better at promoting at own walls "state against self"
Different interest - Nationalists want to question everything, Unionists want to not talk about same suffering, British not want to take down state
W/o shipping industry there is an even playing field, even some advantages for Catholics, like 1:1 police recruiting
Linc / Intercomm relation
Billy formed Linc
Liam and Billy formed Intercoomm
These are the biggest organizations
Smaller more specific ones
Groups have competition for funding, ensures quality, but fragments
There is dialogue, especially before potential conflict
High taxes in north dissuades business from coming here, but have quality workers, when come, will work out for everyone
IRA did not win any war, it was eye for eye with loyalists, and everyone getting blind
The poor were not any better off
SI has moved on,
Prods are just as ready for peace, 50:50
But do not want to lose British identity
Want peace, one towards United Ireland, one towards stay in UK
