Birth of the border : the impact of partition in Ireland

Moore, Cormac2019
Books, Manuscripts
The 1921 partition of Ireland had huge ramifications for almost all aspects of Irish life and was directly responsible for hundreds of deaths and injuries. Two new justice systems were created; the effects on the major religions were profound, with both jurisdictions adopting wholly different approaches; and major disruptions were caused in crossing the border, with invasive checks and stops becoming the norm. But the major religions remained all-Ireland bodies. Most trade unions maintained a 32-county presence, as did most sports, trade bodies, charities and other voluntary groups but, politically, the new jurisdictions moved further and further apart, while socially and culturally there were differences as well as links between north and south that remain to this day. This is a comprehensive account on the effects of the partitioning of Ireland and its impact.
