</td>
Northern Ireland was established in 1921, consisting of the six North-eastern counties which remained in the United Kingdom following the Anglo-Irish Treaty which ended the Irish War of Independence.
+
<td width="3%">
 
 
It has remained deeply divided between a largely Protestant unionist majority which favours a continuing relationship with Britain, and a largely Catholic nationalist minority which favours unity with the Republic of Ireland.
 
 
 
Unionist domination came under increasing challenge in the late 1960s with the emergence of the civil rights movement. By 1969, the situation had erupted into a violent conflict, the Troubles, which would go on to cost more than 3,700 lives and would not wind down until the emergence of the peace process in the 1990s.
 
 
 
Propaganda, disinformation and various formas of covert political action were practised by all sides during the conflict. In the aftermath of the Troubles, truth recovery regarding the roles of the major actors remains a key, issue with particular controversy surrounding allegations of state collusion with both loyalist and republican paramilitaries.
 
 
 
Following the end of the conflict, the creation of the [[Northern Ireland Assembly]] has paved the way for more mundane forms of political spin, such as the emergence of a Northern Ireland lobbying industry. 
 
 
 
The huge intelligence gathering machine which grew up around the Northern Ireland conflict has been described by Tony Geraghty:
 
 
 
"British civilian agencies included the [[Security Service]], MI5, the [[Secret Intelligence Service]], MI6, [[GCHQ]], and the [[National Criminal Intelligence Service]]. Military teams, working under the [[Intelligence and Security Group]], were the [[SAS]] troop posted to the Province, [[14 Intelligence Company]], the [[Field Reconnaissance Unit|Force Research Unit]], running its informers in competition with the [[RUC Special Branch]]; various other arms of the [[Intelligence Corps such as [[Weapons Intelligence Unit]] and the computer experts of [[12 Intelligence Company]]."
 
 
 
Spinprofiles has a policy of [[SpinProfiles:A Guide to Referencing|strict referencing]] and is overseen by an [[User:Claire Robinson|Managing editor]] and a [[User:David|Sysop]] and several Associate Portal editors. The Editor of the Northern Ireland Portal is [[User:Tom_Griffin|Tom Griffin]].

Powerbase can be made more effective if more people join the project. If you have research or writing skills or just spare time, you can help.

If you are unsure where to start, you could expand some of the recently created but currently very brief articles. (If you look at the recent changes page you will see some noted as being 'stubs' - articles that may just be a line or two and needing to be fleshed out). So if you would like to add to some of those you would be most welcome.

There is an automatically updated page which includes the pages which have been signalled by Powerbase users as most wanted. In addition there is a page which includes a list of Things you can do to help.

Or if you would like some other suggestions closer to your interests you could drop Powerbase editor, David Miller an email. His address is editor AT powerbase.info
