Northern Ireland was famous around the world from the 1970's to the 1990's for the fighting that occurred between the Catholic and Protestant communities, which became known as "the troubles" Happily a lasting peace was established under the Good Friday Agreement which was established in 1998. Though Northern Ireland remains a part of the United Kingdom, the north and south of Ireland now maintain a warm relationship with strong economic cooporation, and 25 years of peace has meant that communities on both sides in Northern Ireland have enjoyed much prosperity and much happier lives. Northern Ireland is now a very safe place to visit and you won't find a more warm and welcoming people on the island of Ireland.
