What is model consequence paragraph?Show answer
"The gravest consequence of internment was the loss of nationalist confidence in the state. Because suspects were detained without trial on out-of-date intelligence, often the wrong men, communities saw the policy as collective punishment. The intended result, breaking the IRA, failed; the unintended result, a surge in recruitment and a hardening of attitudes, mattered far more, helping to set the scene for Bloody Sunday and the end of Stormont."
