The World : U.S. Visit Draws Ulster Ire

Share

Protestant activists demanded the immediate expulsion from Northern Ireland of 116 visiting American “terror tourists” who belong to a New York-based fund-raising group, the Irish Northern Aid Committee (NORAID). A spokesman for the Democratic Unionist Party, led by the Rev. Ian Paisley, said he expects the outlawed Irish Republican Army to wage violent attacks in an effort to impress “the naive and callous Americans.” London, Washington and Dublin have accused NORAID of sending money and arms to the IRA, which is fighting to drive the British from Ulster and unite the province with Ireland. NORAID insists that its money goes to help needy Roman Catholic families.
