Harry Mcgeough Biography & Facts

The Troubles were a period of conflict in Northern Ireland involving republican and loyalist paramilitaries, the British security forces, and civil rights groups. They are usually dated from the late 1960s through to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. However, sporadic violence continued after this point. Those that continued violence past this point are referred to as "dissident republicans and loyalists". The Troubles, internationally known as the Northern Ireland conflict, claimed roughly 3500 lives. Prior to 1960 Since partition, the IRA had started a number of operations in Northern Ireland designed at bringing about their goal of a United Ireland. The intensity of this activity increased towards the end of 1941, where the IRA decided to step up its campaign of attacks in Northern Ireland. In response to this activity the Unionist authorities under John Miller Andrews introduced internment and using provisions of the Emergency Powers Act, instituted increasingly restrictive policies in Northern Ireland. This pattern of paramilitary violence, followed by increasingly restrictive measures on the behalf of the authorities came to define the run-up to the Troubles. 1960–1969 Since 1964, civil rights activists had been protesting against the discrimination against Catholics and Irish nationalists by the Ulster Protestant and unionist government of Northern Ireland. The civil rights movement called for: 'one man, one vote'; the end to gerrymandered electoral boundaries; the end to discrimination in employment and in the allocation of public housing; repeal of the Special Powers Act; and the disbanding of the Ulster Special Constabulary. 1966 1968 1969–1970 1969 1970–1979 1970 1971 1972 January–June July–December 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980–1989 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990–1999 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 Post-Troubles incidents (1999–present) 1999 2000 2001 2002 2005 2006 2007 See also Outline of the Troubles Northern Ireland peace process List of bombings during the Northern Ireland Troubles List of books about The Troubles Timeline of Provisional Irish Republican Army actions Timeline of Irish National Liberation Army actions Timeline of Continuity Irish Republican Army actions Timeline of Real Irish Republican Army actions Timeline of Ulster Volunteer Force actions Timeline of Ulster Defence Association actions Timeline of Loyalist Volunteer Force actions Timeline of Orange Volunteers actions Provisional IRA in the Republic of Ireland List of Irish police officers killed in the line of duty Operation Banner References External links Media related to Northern Ireland Troubles at Wikimedia Commons CAIN project.
