- Northern_Ireland_Civil_Rights_Association abstract "The Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (Irish: Cumann Chearta Sibhialta Thuaisceart Éireann) was an organisation which campaigned for civil rights in Northern Ireland during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Formed in Belfast on 9 April 1967, the civil rights campaign attempted to achieve reform by publicising, documenting, and lobbying for an end to abuses in areas such as housing, unfair electoral procedures, discrimination in employment and the Special Powers Act. The genesis of the organisation lay in a meeting in Maghera in August 1966 between the Wolfe Tone Societies which was attended by Cathal Goulding, then chief of staff of the IRA. The hope of the IRA, which four years earlier had ceased military operations after the failure of its Border Campaign, was that out of the already-nascent civil rights movement in Northern Ireland begun in 1963-4 by the Homeless Citizens' League and the Campaign for Social Justice there would arise a campaign of civil disturbance which would assist its efforts to unseat the unionist government in Belfast, and that the creation of NICRA would enable it to direct that campaign's course. Although socialist republicans and one IRA member were among those involved in the creation of NICRA, the IRA did not direct it. During its formation, NICRA's membership extended to trade unionists, communists, socialists, liberals and those of no political affiliation, with republicans eventually constituting five of the 13 members of its executive council when the association came into being. The organisation initially also included Unionist politicians, with Young Unionist Robin Cole taking a position on its executive council. IRA influence over NICRA grew in later years, but only as the latter's importance declined, as violence increased from late 1969 until 1972 when NICRA ceased its work.".
