Case studies
This page was compiled (2010) to assist students studying history for the Irish Leaving Certificate examinations. Below is a guide to the materials on the CAIN site that may be relevant to the three case studies in Topic 5: Politics and society in Northern Ireland, 1949-1993. The three case studies are: the Sunningdale Agreement and the power-sharing Executive, 1973-1974; the controversy surrounding the establishment of the then New University of Ulster at Coleraine; and the Apprentice Boys of Derry.
