Divided Identities and Loyalties in Modern Ireland
Symbols are very important for identity. Nationalists (mostly Catholics) and Unionists (mostly Protestants) in Northern Ireland use symbols on their streets, in their organisations and at their events that have a special meaning for them. l Symbols express religious and political beliefs. l Many of these symbols are connected to the history of Ireland. The events of the past still provoke strong memories on both sides in Northern Ireland.
