Holy Cross dispute

The Holy Cross dispute occurred in 2001 and 2002 in the Ardoyne area of north Belfast, Northern Ireland. During the 30-year conflict known as The Troubles, Ardoyne had become segregated – Protestants lived in one area and Irish Catholics in another. This left Holy Cross—a Catholic primary school for girls—stuck in the middle of a Protestant area.
