I am not "blaming the four days of Belfast riots on children" Jim.
I am blaming it on dissidents from out of the area, who enlisted children for cover.
And that is not my opinion. It is what was reported by reliable witnesses like the priest, the police themselves, Sinn Fein officers, and The Irish Times.
In what way are you better informed than all them Jim.

That bit of ancient history you are determined to bring up.
It relates to the kind of independence to be given to the new state, not the status of the North.
Both sides were powerless to alter the will of the North to separate, so what would be the point?
