Guardian Focus podcast: Northern Ireland's sectarian violence

Violence surrounded the march to commemorate the Battle of the Boyne, as Nationalists reacted angrily to the Orange Order parade being allowed so close to their homes. But there's a power-sharing government in Northern Ireland now. Weren't things supposed to be different? For this week's Focus podcast, the Guardian's Ireland correspondent Henry McDonald talks to Hugh Muir about the root of this violence and asks if a new generation of young Irish nationalists are becoming radicalised. We'll hear from some nationalists who still believe in armed struggle, such as members of the Continuity IRA. We also hear from Kate Carroll, whose policeman husband Stephen was murdered by dissident republicans in 2009. Leave your comments below.
