I'm a southern Catholic myself but I have many relations in the North. Back when the horror of the Troubles were at their worst, many Catholic's who needed help with social problems actually went to Ian Paisley who always did his best for them. He was a firebrand preacher and a world class rabble-rouser but he was a towering figure in recent Irish history who had a huge influence in the events in Northern Ireland from the 1960's to the 1980's. Paisley was a big man with a big heart who was willing to help those he claimed to despise most of all: the dreaded Papists!

There was a time when we'd say a person from the North isn't from 'here' in the same way that 'Northerners' would say that us 'Southerners' were not from their 'here'. Since the momentous events of 1997 i.e, the peace process: in Ireland we all live in the same 'here' whether we are from the North or South. The only exceptions to this are obviously for commercial reasons and for a very small number of people who choose to ignore reality and the passage of 25 years during which the people of Ireland have become united in a way few ever thought possible. Thankfully most of us are now living in peace in the same 'here'.

Many years ago, I, an Englishman with only a very distant drop of the blood of Erin in me, made the uncharacteristic decision to write a letter to him imploring him to take the power-sharing deal with Martin McGuinness, as I had, and still have, friends on both sides of the religious divide from Ireland, North and South. I longed for peace on that lovely island. To my surprise, he actually wrote a letter back! It was brief, but courteous - written by hand by a fountain pen - and he promised that he would consider the best way forward for all people involved. It is a treasured memory, and by that I don't mean the physical letter, but rather a demonstration of the ability of an individual to change themselves for the greater good. Gay Byrne was someone I always envied the Irish for - an almost mythical broadcaster - sheer class!

@andrewbarry6702 Yes, Ireland is a special land, very welcoming and with good values.

[@TodayFreedom]

The tragedy of Paisley’s life is that, like countless men who lived at the forefront of history, he only came to see the necessity for peace and justice toward the closing of his life. Youth is all fire, old age is all regret. And that fire of his cost so many young men and women not just their freedom but their very lives. The tragedy is easy to define- that only in old age do we realise the utter stupidity of hatred and division. In the end, the war in Ireland quite simply wore everybody down to the bone; nobody could stick it any more. It’s absolutely true to say that not a single family in Northern Ireland has escaped the Troubles- my own included. Even all these years after my childhood in the 80s I’m still finding out more awful secrets in the family- stories of death, depression, suicide, armed conflict...things I was never told back then because adults tried to shield us from it all. Every family has had a member killed or imprisoned or beaten or otherwise brutalised. Every family knows someone permanently maimed or someone who took their own life because of a loss they could not endure. The simple static number of deaths does not tell the whole picture- the pain is far wider. But Paisley was not alone- not at all...there were countless hundreds of thousands of people just like him on both sides- all of them determined to “make the other side pay”. In that sense, the Troubles itself “grew up”; it got old and it even got sick of the old men pushing the violence. What a horrendous shame that the price we all paid was so vast before we ever even reached the stage of simply apologising to each other. But we got there in the end. The process of recovery continues, and an unspeakable number of people in Ireland still live with unimaginable sorrow. Let us only pray that they can leave the past behind them. If the immediate victims of the violence can do that, then there’s no excuse for the rest of us. God’s love for us ISN’T conditional- if we wish to be Godly then our love for our neighbours cannot be conditional either.
