Draft chronologies for the years 1968 to 2001 can be found below. Chronologies for more recent years will be added in the future. Most of the daily entries are brief, however the chronologies contain links to key documents and more detailed entries for those dates that coincide with the key events and key issues. There are also more detailed daily entries for the years since 1996. Below are links to each individual year. There are also links to chronologies of events during the periods 1169-1799 and 1800-1967. In addition there are chronologies which cover particular key events and key issues.
The following 'buttons' appear within the chronologies and provide links to additional information in the Sutton 'Index of Deaths': death button     death button
There is also a button with links to records from the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) (links available from 6 October 2010): proni on cain
