This episode of Counterpoint tells the story of the
Vietnamese boat people who were settled in Craigavon in 1979. Craigavon
was the first area within Northern Ireland to receive refugees and the
programme looks at some of the practicalities around accommodation and
employment, interviewing William Boyd, who outlines how resettlement was
coordinated through a community response, visiting language classes in Brownlow
College, and talking to a refugee who has found a work placement as a welder.
