Description

Clip from archive compilation programme 'Understanding Northern Ireland'.

Features Conway Mills, on the Falls Road, and the process of weaving textiles together right through to the production line, until the finished product - a table cloth and napkins - is boxed up and ready for shipping. 

The second half of the clip is an interview with Tom Boyd (Leader Northern Ireland Labour Party) who puts forward his point that he is "not prepared to accept that Northern Ireland people should be any worse off, than the people in Great Britain" and argues that Terence O'Neill (Prime Minister of Northern Ireland) "seems prepared to do this in many ways, in matters like citizens rights and so on". 

His final point of contention with the Prime Minister, is that Boyd feels he is rushing the election as he knows that the Labour Party does not have the adequate amount of funds to campaign sufficiently now.
