Thanks so much for your reply. As an alternate I am now thinking of accuracy of the media portrayal of someone like Bobby Sands, or one of the PIRA leaders such as Gerry Adams do you have any thoughts on either of these areas?
I do think it is sailing a bit close to the wind but...
if you look at the dot points of the syllabus and come up with a question that aviods them as the major focus or look at a personality not specified then you should be fine.
The syllabus says 'significantly overlaps' and remember also that your teacher will be marking it.
