NICRA's Aims
  1. Achieve "one man one vote" - This would allow all people over 18 to vote & remove the multiple votes from business owners.
    1. Achieved as part of O'Neill's Five Point Reform Programme and in the reforms introduced after the Downing Street Declaration.
    2. Ensure that local councils allocated their houses fairly - At this time only those who paid rates were allowed to vote in local council elections. If councils did not give Catholics houses, then they could not vote
      1. Achieved in O'Neill's Five Point Reform Programme as a point system is introduced
      2. Introduce a formal complaints procedure - This would allow people to report local council violations
        1. Achieved on 22nd November 1968 as part of O'Neill's Five Point Reform Proramme
        2. Stop discrimination in the allocation of government jobs - The Cameron Commission found widespread favouritism towards Protestants in the allocation of jobs. Evidence was also found that Catholics were under-represented in senior Civil Service jobs amongst NI's judges.
          1. Achieved in the reforms made after the Downing Street Declaration as they prevented discrimination in public employment.
          2. End the use of Special Powers Act - This gave police the power to arrest and detain suspects without trial
            1. Partially removed as part of O'Neill's Five Point Reform Programme in 1968.
            2. Disband the B Specials - This reserve police force (almost all Protestants and Unionists) was seen by Catholics as a biased an sectarian force.
              1. Recommended in the Hunt Committee Report.
              2. Stop Gerrymndering - Most famous example of this was in Londonderry in 966 where the Unionist controlled city council ruled over a Catholic population of 20,00 compared to a Protestant Population of 10,000. Gerrymandering id the practice of drawing electoral boundaries in a way that benefits one group at the expense of another.
                1. Achieved in the reforms that were made following the Downing Street Declaration in August '69.
