The indiscriminate murder by vicious thugs had started more than three years prior to the formation of the Provos, and it was started by the loyalists. And if you even want to go right back to the formation of that statelet it was Loyalists terrorising and killing Nationalists. And you'd have known that if you knew anything about history of the time. And one man one vote was not permitted in the north at the time the Provos were formed either despite it being in place in the rest of the "UK". So spare us the utter gaslighting that it was the Provos delayed Civil Rights. There were few rights for Catholics for over 40 years in that gerrymandered kip.
