How was the discrimination against the Irish Catholics a symptom of the troubles? It was the cause of the troubles, it was the thing against which the protestors who were gunned down were marching against. It was the product of narrow-minded Northern Irish Protestant bigotry. If the Northern Irish Protestants who owned the businesses and factories had been willing to treat their fellow citizens equally regardless of religion the standard of living for the Irish Catholics would have been much higher and there would have been no protest.
The Ford Motor Company had a factory in North Ireland which practiced equal opportunity hiring and had no labor problems until the violence in North Ireland ................... and the obsolesence of their product made contnuing production unfeasible. |
