Not really...the ongoing conflict in Ireland stem from the great clash between Papist Catholicism and Protestant reform. Oliver Cromwell originally invaded Ireland to prevent Catholic Spain from using it as a staging base to invade England (the wind blows from Ireland to England), and to stem Catholic rebellion...
Protestant and Catholic cultism is at the heart of the cultural, political and religious differences between the two "tribes" and the fanaticism of religion fuels the hate...
