Wow lady - you have gumption to travel there despite the obvious dangers! Have you seen the Netflix show "Derry Girls?" I absolutely loved it. Had to use the closed captions though because I could barely understand the accent. It's a coming-of-age tale of teens in Londonderry (yes, always Derry) with The Troubles in the background. Poignant and hilarious. Why would anyone want to mess with the peace there now? Other than the military industrial complex and people who can profit from war? (Snark intended).
Yes, my wife and I have watched Derry Girls. It was an uneasy watch for me; I couldn't loosen up about the humorous parts. People from Northern Ireland can peg each other's home village by their accent when meeting for the first time. Part of the 'Derry area has an accent with such a beautiful lilt, it sounds like singing. As for messing up the peace... There's always someone who prefers violence. Heaven only knows why. But most are finding peace much more to their liking.
