Final Post

Handed in my project today so this should be the last post.  It was hard work but enjoyable.

False alarm ....

Thought I had nearly finished but I'm still finding books and documents on the topic.  Just turned on the tv and by chance there was a clip of a civil rights march on.   Definitely have got to stop researching and get on with it!

The end is nigh ......

Well, I hope it is anyway.  Just spent the first day of my Easter holidays chained to the laptop in an attempt to write up my project.  Got on quite well and definitely think the worst is over!  The main problem was that there is too much information on the topic but I suppose that's not a bad complaint.
Like the Good Friday Agreement I'm hoping for a final resolution tomorrow!

Wonder have I enough books?

I've found some books for my project.  Now to actually read them!

Newspaper reports from the Cain website


24 August, 1968 Irish News Support call for mammoth Dungannon civil rights protest Leader: All liberal-minded people should attend the Coalisland-Dungannon march, says the CRA. McAnerney claims that 'any doubts about the absolute necessity for such a gesture have been dispelled by the arrogance of the Unionists' reply to the Labour Lawyers. After the fair words and the promises of reform, the true voice of unrepentant and unchanging bigotry is heard once more.' Fitt says that the march will let ordinary people express their views, while Currie points to the benefits of 'discipline, order and decorum' on the protest. The RUC has announced the re-routing of the march.

Started some research today on the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Movement.  Visited the Irish Studies Library and arranged an appointment next week with M McVeigh.
