On Irish Border, Worries That ‘Brexit’ Will Undo a Hard-Won Peace
Common Travel Area said that Nobody wants to return to the borders of the past,
Back at the Guildhall, Mr. Lynn, the tour guide, said
that having come this far, people in the city had no desire to return to the way things were before.
Reflecting that both sides have a point, government organizations (and the BBC) have succumbed to practicality and often write it as "Derry/Londonderry." "There’s no trouble here anymore," said Shauna McClenaghan, a civic leader in Inishowen, a nearby area of the republic
that is intimately connected to Londonderry politically and culturally, despite being across the international border.
He employs people from both north and south; does business in both north
and south (and abroad); and, along with some 325,000 other people per week, regularly drives back and forth, too many times to count, between the two places.
" Mr. Lynn said. that This city, this country, is like a woman who has given birth,
funding, from peace programs that benefit north and south promoting the notion
that we have more in common than we have differences," Ms. McClenaghan said.
"Derry’s just a city." Gerry Lynn, an amateur historian who leads tours at the Guildhall, the historic downtown building where the City Council meets, unleashed a condensed version of more than 1,000 extremely complex years of Irish history by way of explaining how far the country,
and the region, have come since the Troubles (not to mention the 1600s).
