I grew up with Protestants and Catholics shouting insults at one another across the playground, school evacuations because of IRA bomb scares were quite normal, and occasional explosions in the cities weren’t too unusual. My parents went for a couple of holidays in Yugoslavia, before the groups there decided they couldn’t live together any longer. Sometimes I wonder if the years of relative harmony have been the anomaly.
