1973
This episode of Pop Goes Northern Ireland focuses on 1973. Northern Ireland is suffering unrelenting violence and the UDA becomes increasingly involved in sectarian murder. The UDA is also convulsed by internal feuds which result in the murder of one its most prominent spokesmen, Tommy Herron. Meanwhile, having held a border poll - boycotted by nationalists - the government's White Paper proposes elections to an Assembly, the creation of a power-sharing executive and the establishment of North-South institutions. The Unionist party splits on whether to support the White Paper, but its leader Brain Faulkner, despite eroding support, agrees to a power-sharing executive and to a North-South Council of Ireland at Sunningdale. The year ends with the swearing in of the new power-sharing government for Northern Ireland.
