Description

A Good Evening Ulster report on a day of protest by workers across Northern Ireland in protest against the Anglo-Irish Agreement. The previous day, Ian Paisley urged workers to join protests across the lunch-hour period and rallies are now being held around the country, including at Hillsborough, where the future first minister of Northern Ireland, David Trimble, can be seen protesting and holding a poster.

Highly controversial Unionist George Seawright addresses crowds at Belfast's City Hall before DUP deputy leader Peter Robinson stands up to speak. Jeanie Johnson conducts an interview with him afterwards in which he issues a firm message for the British government.
