Here is an excellent gateway for exploring the conflict in Northern Ireland
from the viewpoints of Loyalists, Republicans, and many other groups and
organizations.
Directly from the home page you can link to 17 political parties, including
Sinn Fein, The Democratic Unionist Party, The Green Party, The Northern
Ireland Alliance Party and the SDLP. Each party's site offers their history,
beliefs, and objectives as well as documents, newsletters, press releases,
links to online shops for key books and information on how to join the
party.
For delving further into the politics of Ireland and Northern Ireland (and
for up-to-date news on the 1997 all-party peace talks) the Irish Internet Hub's
homepage also links to online magazines, newspapers and news sources, including
RTE Teletext; a New York Irish Republican newspaper; the Limerick Post ;
the Belfast Telegraph; the Irish Times; an Irish anarchist
newspaper, and much more. The major papers have searchable databases.
There are also links from this homepage to research and scholarly material on
the conflict, such as the web site of CAIN (Conflict Archive on the Internet) a
group which is developing a database of resources relevant to teaching and
research on the Northern Ireland conflict and other ethnic conflicts.
Finally, this large web site is a good jumping-off point for links to
information on Ireland's culture, literature, music, tourism, weather and
genealogical research.
Up-to-date and well-organized, "Irish Internet Hub" lives up to its claim to
being "a passport to Irish locations on the web."
