Power, ed., Building Peace in Northern Ireland (Liverpool: Liverpool University Press, 2011), 126. The most authoritative source on conflict-related deaths puts the total at 3,720; see David McKittrick, Seamus Kelters, Brian Feeney, Chris Thornton, and David McVea, Lost Lives: The Stories of the Men, Women and Children Who Died as a Result of the Northern Ireland Troubles (Edinburgh: Mainstream, 2012). Numerous political histories make this case (including our own book The Northern Ireland Conflict (note 4 above); perhaps the most detailed in terms of archival material is Thomas Hennessey, Northern Ireland: The Origins of the Troubles (Dublin: Gill & Macmillan, 2005). This seems to originate from Shirlow's contributions: McEvoy and Shirlow, “Encumbered by Data,” 111 (see note 6 above) attribute a quote from McGrattan's article on community-based restorative justice (C. McGrattan, “Community-Based Restorative Justice in Northern Ireland: A Neo-Traditionalist Paradigm?,” British Journal of Politics and International Relations 12, no. 3 (2010): 408–424) to one on transitional justice in a completely different journal (C. McGrattan, “‘Order out of Chaos:’ The Politics of Transitional Justice,” Politics 29, no. 3 (2009): 164–172). This is repeated in P. Shirlow, “A Prosperity of Thought in an Age of Austerity: The Case of Ulster Loyalism,” Political Quarterly 83, no. 2 (2012): 6; and in P. Shirlow, The End of Ulster Loyalism (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2012), 146. A. Edwards, Defending the Realm?
