I, before having consumed sufficient coffee, and whilst being distracted by a plumber, wrote: > At that stage, the Catholic Unionists in the North were being attacked > on a regular basis by the Loyalists. A school-boy error on my part. As somebody has just mailed me and gently reminded me, Unionists = residents of Northern Ireland who wish to see the region remain part of the United Kingdom. This is therefore the same as loyalist. The correct term I was looking for to describe those individuals seeking Northern Ireland to become part of the Repiblic of Ireland, is "Nationalist". However, in general and as a rule of thumb, Catholics in the region tend to be Nationalists, and the Protestant community tend to be Unionist. I really am sorry for the confusion. Some of you who weren't familiar with the situation would have got most confused if you ever tried to have a discussion on the subject in the future. In fact reading it back, *I* got very confused right now. I hope that clears it up. Oh, and to those of you who wrote to me, thanks for not being more abusive. :-) -- Paul Robinson
