Description

Good Evening Ulster reports on the setting off of a protest march to Belfast from Derry/Londonderry to continue the Unionist campaign against the Anglo-Irish Agreement. Various MPs who recently resigned their seats to force by-elections as part of the campaign are at the head of the march and DUP leader Ian Paisley is interviewed, followed by Ulster Unionist leader James Molyneaux.

As the march moves across the Craigavon Bridge, there is also an interview with John McMichael, a commander of the paramilitary UDA and a representative of their political wing, the Ulster Democratic Party. In the interview he states that Mrs Thatcher risks confronting a well-equipped Ulster people's army and refuses to rule out stepping outside the law during the course of the campaign against the Agreement.
