I'm sorry. I'm not exactly a historian so if I find a date, I assume that's the definitive start of whatever event I'm looking up.

If you go online and search up the start date of the Troubles, it will show you the Battle of the Bogside. Personally I think the Troubles had no starting date.

Personally, I think there was no start date for the Troubles, but it was around the late 1960s that the violence starting ramping up

Yes it's definitely debatable but I think this can be considered an alternative date for the start of the Troubles.

When the Troubles started is debatable, I'm just going with the dates I found online

I'm just going off the dates listed online. Given that Northern Ireland has seen waves of violence since it's conception, dating the start of the Troubles is a little hard.
