Seemingly only the young are taking part in the recent northern Ireland protests. According to reports, protestors’ concerns centre around post Brexit borders, though border protocol will benefit northern Ireland. Issues could be directives and/or political uncertainty.
An aspect of the Belfast agreement currently being tested is north south cooperation, reportedly supported by the north south ministerial council and said to be staffed by personnel from both regions. The council oversees cooperation in 12 sectors. Some listed are health, education, agriculture, environment, energy, tourism and security.
With regard to health, the hse are thought to be given directives from the nhs. Looking at education in Britain, reportedly the curriculum in non fee paying schools is mandatory. Not so for private schools who are believed to have their own curriculum. Environmental concerns in southern Ireland centre around problems with water and other commodities. A current concern is wind turbines which are thought to be diffusing areas with particles. In the south, housing is a central issue in terms of standard, discrimination and availability, and constitutes a crisis. Problems with energy; monopolies of energy innitiatives such as what happened with Corrib oil. And cross border policing, said to be a cooperation between An Garda siochána and the psni. Problems may be intelligence from political components, ommisions, false reports etc.
