"What would you do if you had a ring of invisibility? And the children will say, well, I would rob a bank. I would go into a shop and Steve chocolate. I would have a stigma favorite packet of crisps. I would be going in and stealing money out of my mommy's purse. I would do all this and I do not moralize with the federal budget. Yep, I will turn and I read it up on the board. And then I say well, what should you do?" Kevin Mc Arevey is the Principal of Holy Cross Boys’ School in the Ardoyne area in Northern Belfast in Northern Ireland.

Some 3,600 people were killed and more than 30,000 more were wounded before a peaceful solution, which involved the governments of both the United Kingdom and Ireland, was effectively reached in 1998, leading to a power-sharing arrangement in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
