Relative to prior decades, maybe. Idk if I'd describe The Troubles or the Years of Lead as "bloodless".
The troubles continued well into the 90s
The worst of it was in the 70s, peaking with Bloody Sunday. The 90s were notable precisely because of the ceasefires, political accords, mainstreaming of Sinn Féin, and discrediting of the radical dissident groups.

The 90s saw some 20% less violent deaths during the troubles than the 80s did, though it's true that the 70s were the worst period.
The years of lead weren't bloodless, but relatively few people died even compared to the troubles, let alone something like Chechnya
