Description

Four months into a campaign of Unionist protests and civil disorder to try and overturn the Anglo-Irish Agerement, Ulster Unionist leader James Molyneaux speaks outside Belfast City Hall to Good Evening Ulster. He discusses the ongoing protests, ahead of a planned Anti-Agreement strike to take place the following week.

One councillor is interviewed, suggesting that they are prepared to defy the court order commanding them to follow through on their obligations. Hugh Smyth of the Progressive Unionist Party also speaks to camera about remaining committed to their path of opposition.
