Description

Letitia Fitzpatrick reports for UTV Live on the DUP No campaign ahead of the referendum on the Good Friday Agreement. Ian Paisley and other DUP politicians are seen waving up into the sky as a plane pulls a banner along proclaiming that it is 'Right to Vote No'.

Ian Paisley and others, including deputy leader Peter Robinson, use a press conference to denounce the Agreement, declaring that Tony Blair's handwritten pledges are worthless. The Ulster Democratic Party also uses a plane to pull a message urging people to Vote Yes while, during their final press conference, leader Gary McMichael, appeals to undecided voters to shape a peaceful future.
