I think the whole thing has been manipulated by the British powers to divide and conquer. Ulster was always the most rebellious and Gaelic part of Ireland e.g. Red Hugh O'Donnell and the O'Neill's. They were the last part of Ireland to be conquered and they did this by whole scale population replacement of the native population.
The thing is that both Catholics and Protestants in the North of Ireland have some Scottish input so they are basically the same population hating on each other. My father is from North Roscommon and a lot of names are very Scottish even though it is in the Republic. There are loads of Campbells and MacDonalds. My Great Grandmother is a Leland which is from MacClelland and MacLelland. Irish and Scots are very related so they are all mad and all should get their dna tested to realise how stupid the whole thing is.

But they are not necessarily the traditional people from there. I can understand the flag of st. george they use. I mean I think a symbol related to William of Orange would be better or maybe something scottish/english. I just find it strange. I like the symbol dont get me wrong

People from Northern Ireland have the best of both worlds. They are Irish because of geographic location and British because what it says on their passport
