A Troubles Museum?

Mark Devenport | 15:51 UK time, Monday, 12 May 2008

There's been debate for some years about whether Belfast should have a "Troubles Museum". There's also the proposal for a "Conflict Interpretive Centre" at the Maze, which has led unionists to express fears about the potential creation of an "IRA shrine".

Now, courtesy of a Stormont Written Answer to the Ulster Unionist David McNarry, we learn a little about what the newly refurbished Ulster Museum has in mind.

The Museum will include a display devoted to "The Troubles". According to the Culture Minister, Edwin Poots, the display will cover the years from the late 1960s to the present, chronicling "many of the significant events and political developments of our recent past". Mr Poots says the display will be part of a wider history section under the working heading of "Plantation to Power Sharing".
