Letters flooded the newspapers with suggestions, e.g., all Ireland's Protestants should buy from Leslie Gardner's hardware shop and Betty Cooper's news agency-grocery in Fethard. Northern Ireland Unionists urged the government to start a fund for the boycotted Protestants, and a group of Belfast aircraft workers...
