minority catholics felt under-represented in the government of the United Kingdom
because the british occupied northern irleand to protect the protestants and the Irish catholics resented their presance which has now resulted in violence.
the way Catholics of that time reacted to anything different from them, with violence and false accusations
The main division of conflict is between the Republicans (Nationalists), which are associated with Catholics, and the Loyalists (Unionists), which are associated with Protestants. However in recent years the Loyalists have become less active in conflict and any violence has developed into usually the Republicans targeting the security forces (Police/Army) in Northern Ireland.
There is some progress, there is some friendship between catholics and protestants but some people will refuse to forget about the past, personally I think N. Ireland is a dump, I don't think the conflict between catholics and protestants will ever change, however, it has improved over the years and hopefully will continue to do so.

The conflict is primarily between the religious factions, Catholic and Protestant. Since it remained part of the UK, Northern Ireland has a history of Protestant domination in government and the economy. This friction has been expressed several times in violence and terrorism on both sides. The Nationalists continue to seek a union of the six Northern Ireland counties with larger Ireland, which is Catholic.
The royal family of England murdered and tortured a lot of Catholics in Ireland. Queen Mary, 'bloody Mary' murdered a lot of Protestants. So there was a lot of bloodshed in the old days when England used them against each other, and the Catholics and Protestants held a grudge against each other long after the old generations passed away.
Still there
Violence in Northern Ireland due to conflict includes bombings and shootings aimed at army, police, rival terrorists and civilians.
