no its not because the prods wont to fight and the catholics wont peace however there is some on both sides who just wont to fight all the time. it's simply because on the 12th July they are commerating a past event but it doesn't actually mean anything in todays terms

"On the morning of December 7, 1688, a regiment of Catholic troops crossed Lough Foyle and advanced on Londonderry-Derry city with the presumed intention of slaughtering all the Protestants within. The town fathers paralyzed by fear, or piously resigned to martyrdom, or stained by treason, were ready to admit the enemy when suddenly a band of thirteen apprentice boys lifted their crimson banners and, with shouts of "No Surrender!" shut the gates in the face of the invaders. Thus began the siege of Londonderry, a frightful ordeal that lasted more than three months before King William's forces broke it."
I'm guessing not alot happens in your part of the world if 'the people' haven't found something new to occupy their minds in the last 300-odd years. Sad really.

because they stil believe its best to carry on fighting and live in a world of pain and misery rather then just try to live along side the catholics /(who are willing to just live in peace)
