David F rost went to London
d e rry to speak with Catholics
ami to Belfast to talk with
Protestants.
In discussion with Catholic
members of the I Ister popu
lation, David talks about their
support ot the IRA (Iris h Re
publican Army), theeffectthat
the recent actions ot the B rit
ish A rm y have had on Catho
lic support fo r the IRA amt
the idea that the current Irish
troubles is related more to
B ritish Im perialism in Ire
land than to religious con
flic ts .
Talking with Protestants in
Belfast, David is told that
communists are using the IRA
oiganization to stn up trouble
between the Iris h and the Eng
lish. They add that they are
opposed to a unification of
Northern ami Southern Ire
land, because they do notwant
their
country ruled from
Rome. Im portantly, they com-
r
ment on the fact that they
are not opposed to Catholics,
but only to the IRA and its
are no: opposed to Catholics,
but only to the IRA and its
supporters. Lnlike the Cath
olics David speaks with, the
Protestants want the B ritish
Army (which they call their
own forces) to remain in U ls
ter and are vigorously opposed
