Oh, I think there are quite a few in NI who would be quite happy to kick things off again. Low level terrorism ‘hasn’t gone away, you know’.

So enough support for another go ? Second Troubles ?

There is little support for a return to the violence. But the UK announcing that the Irish in UK controlled Ulster will not have their human rights guaranteed, it's not a small thing. The demand for human rights for the Irish was how the "troubles" started originally.

Hence my question, I am curious about how the majority feels about this in N-Ireland

Majority clearly does not want violence. But destabilise everything & things can escalate.

Ah, but I remember during the 70s we were being told every week that the ‘vast majority’ of people were against violence. Maybe so, but there were enough prepared to give cover/too scared to give the minority a lot of scope for endless tit for tat violence.
