Description
Booklet entitled 'The Future of Northern Ireland,' statement by The Rt Hon Wm. Craig on behalf of the United Loyalist Council, representing Ulster Vanguard, the Loyalist Association of Workers, The Ulster Defence Association and Loyalist Defence Volunteers. In October 1972 the Green Paper The Future of Northern Ireland flagged up the government’s objectives of a power-sharing Executive and an Irish Dimension. William Craig responded with a statement on behalf of the United Loyalist Council which highlighted the loyalists’ opposition to these plans and also appeared to take a stronger position on the possibility of independence for Northern Ireland.

National Museums NI
National Museums NI holds over a million objects in the collection, as well as this we manage the records and associated images for each object through a working database. The national collection has been almost 200 years in the making, and we recognise that thinking about collecting and collections has evolved over this time and continues to evolve. As a result, some of our records may contain language and views that we now consider offensive and unacceptable, for example, reflecting racist attitudes. We are committed to addressing these issues, and to reviewing and updating our records accordingly. Working with researchers, communities and academic partners we are learning more about the stories behind objects, and we are committed to sharing these with our audiences. We welcome feedback.
