I would like to thank my colleagues in the Department of Government, University College Cork, for their support and encouragement. A special thanks to all who gave of their time and insights during interviews for this book. Their contributions have been of immense value and have greatly enhanced the breadth and depth of the analysis. I am also grateful to the anonymous reviewer for valuable advice and guidance.

Thank you too to colleagues in the profession who advised (and often reassured) me. The students whom I have met and taught down through the years also provided ideas and inspiration. Friends, particularly in Cork and Belfast, were hugely supportive especially during the final stages of writing this book.

I am also grateful to the team at Manchester University Press, particularly Tony Mason and Corinne Orde.

A final word of thanks to my parents and family for their love, friendship and support. A special mention for my youngest brother Declan Murphy Jnr. Declan has an enormous interest in politics and follows my work closely. Indeed, I think he might just be my biggest fan! He in turn, for all sorts of reasons, is my biggest inspiration and to him I dedicate this book.

In the years since the United Kingdom (UK) joined the European Union (EU) in 1973, Northern Ireland has endured bloody conflict, confronted profound political challenges and, more recently, experienced remarkable change. The journey from violent political conflict to a tentative peace has been long and arduous. It has demanded great compromise and sacrifice of all sections of Northern Ireland society. The result has been the removal of large-scale and widespread violence and the creation of new and legitimate devolved political institutions built around consociational principles. This process of peace-building has been accompanied by improved community relations and some degree of economic progress. The precise start date of this journey of change is difficult to pinpoint, but it has been visibly underway since the 1994 paramilitary ceasefires and the signing of the : 629).
