Forgive my gross ignorance on this matter, but please bear with me, i wish to learn.

#1 - Could i trouble someone for a brief history of the conflict. I'm not an idiot, i know alot of it is religious, but i know not details.

#2 - The Scottish and English used to hate each other, but they get along now. Why doesn't England offer a similar deal to ireland, and if they have, why do the irish not accept it?

that's about it. apologies if my ignorance on such an important matter in my own commonwealth offends oOo:
