Northern Ireland is part of the UK guys...
Fragment of a discussion from Comments:Hillary Clinton condemns violence in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland is part of the UK, and as such it has a British flag up on a government building. While any vioence someone feels this justifies is pathetic at best, and that arguing about something so trivial is a waste of time I have to say that those who have little knowledge of the situation in Northern Ireland should refrain from commenting.
