In an interview for RTÉ, William Craig, Northern Ireland Minister of Home Affairs, talks about the demonstration in Armagh, the actions of the police, "one man, one vote" and calls for his resignation.

Craig says the first job of the police is to protect life and property. They also discuss the Catholic religion, concepts of democracy, local government, and the possibilities of the unification of all of Ireland. Craig argues that criticism is part of political life and sees absolutely no justification for the cause of the civil rights reformers.
