In 1974 radical elements within the organisation who objected to the ceasefire, led by Seamus Costello, established the Irish National Liberation Army. Another feud ensued, with prominent members of both organisations including Costello, losing their lives. However, from the mid-1970s onwards the Official Republican Movement became increasingly focussed on achieving i ...

| | | | | Strabane: Encyclopedia II - Northern Ireland - Symbols Today, Northern Ireland comprises a diverse patchwork of communities, whose national loyalties are represented in some areas by flags flown from lamp posts. The Union Flag and former Flag of Northern Ireland therefore appear in some loyalist areas, with the Irish national flag, the tricolour appearing in some republican areas. Even kerbstones in some areas are painted red-white-blue or green-white-orange, depending on whether local people express unionist/lo ...

| | | | | Strabane: Encyclopedia II - Woodrow Wilson - War policy - World War I Wilson's foreign policy is perhaps best described in a quote by himself made in 1907:
"Since trade ignores national boundaries and the manufacturer insists on having the world as a market, the law of his nation must follow him, and the doors of the nations which are closed against him must be battered down. Concessions obtained by financiers must be safeguarded by ministers of state, even if the sovereignty of unwilling nations be outraged in the process. Colonies must be obtained or planted, in order that no useful corner of the world ...

| | | | | Strabane: Encyclopedia II - Woodrow Wilson - Early life education and family Thomas Woodrow Wilson was born in Staunton, Virginia in 1856 to Reverend Dr. Joseph Ruggles Wilson and Janet Woodrow, making him the last president born in that state. His ancestry was Scots-Irish going back to Strabane, in modern-day Northern Ireland. Wilson spent the majority of his childhood in Augusta, Georgia and also lived in Columbia, South Carolina from 1870-1874 after his father accepted a teaching position at the Presbyterian Theological Seminary. He always claimed that his earliest memory was of hearing that Abraham Lincoln had be ...

| | | | | Strabane: Encyclopedia II - Town Commissioners - Changes in the 1870s In 1872 the Local Government Board (Ireland) was formed. One of its duties was to consider applications for the formation of commissioners under the 1854 act, and for alteration of the areas of existing local government towns. The board issued annual reports on its activities, detailing the finances and condition of the various municipalities under its control.
In 1878 Ireland was divided into sanitary districts, with all commissioners in towns with a population of more than 6000 becoming urban sanitary authorities. The Local Government Board had the power to designate ...

| | | | | Strabane: Encyclopedia II - Sinn Féin - Sinn Féin recent history With the Officials' repudiation of violence in 1972, and its move from republicanism to Marxism, Provisional Sinn Féin became the political voice of the minority of northern nationalists who saw IRA violence as the means of forcing an end to British rule and institutionalised discrimination against nationalists which, in the words of Ulster Unionist leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate David Trimble, had created "a cold house for Catholics". The British government agreed to legalise Sinn Féin in May 1974. It legalised the paramilitary Uls ...

| | | | | Strabane: Encyclopedia II - Official IRA - Impact of the Split When the Provisionals (often called the "Provos") split from the Official IRA, they took away a number of experienced volunteers, depriving the OIRA of some of its operational expertise. The Official IRA remained active, however, albeit with a more restricted level of activity than the Provisionals. Unlike the Provisionals, it did not establish de facto control over Catholic areas of Belfast and Derry.
In December 1971, the Official IRA killed Ulster Unionist Party Senator John Barnhill at his home in Strabane. This was the first murder of a politician in Ireland since the assassination of Free ...
