- Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?
- This is a more specific project which aims to cover all events that took place during the Troubles as well as the paramilitary organisations, members and political movements. It will hopefully serve to improve existing articles on the Troubles.
Support

Discussion
[edit]That picture at the top might be a bit problematic as it prominently shows a loyalist flag, with the Irish tricolor smaller in the back ground. Might want to find a more neutral pic with both flags equal size.--Bellerophon5685 (talk) 04:22, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
