Included are several photos from around the implementing of the Sunday opening laws. The Federation of Retail Licensed Trade announced is determination to implement the laws, but anti-Sunday opening ‘militants’ threatened to do battle with those who choose to open on a Sunday. The Reverend David McIlveen, minister of Sandown Road Free Presbyterian Church in Belfast said: “We are keeping our plans very much to ourselves for obvious reasons but protests have been organised at local level by individual congregations throughout Ulster. Our actions, however, will be peaceful and dignified at all times.”
