Description

In the midst of the by-election campaign brought about by the mass resignation of Unionist MPs in protest at the Anglo-Irish Agreement, the Ulster Unionist Party and DUP hold a joint press conference. Both leaders, James Molyneaux and Ian Paisley, speak before the cameras on their ongoing protest against the Agreement. There is also an interview with one of a number of Young Conservatives who defied party orders in England to come to Northern Ireland and campaign for the Unionist candidates.
