Even this minimal suggestion was more than the intransigent Rev. Ian Paisley could swallow. Following Paisley's lead the caucus voted 37 to 1 to reject any power sharing with Catholics on the Cabinet level; Craig was the lone holdout...
...Ireland, even more vulnerable than before to attacks from Ulster's Unionists and British Conservatives. Their principal complaint: Rees' policy of holding suspects only on solid evidence and gradually releasing detainees has repopulated the countryside with alleged I.R.A. diehards. As an example of Rees' tolerance, Ian Paisley angrily charged -and the British army admitted-that Seamus Twomey, chief of staff of the I.R.A.

Leaders of the Executive met secretly with Prime Minister Harold Wilson, which may be a prelude to the use of British troops to break the strike. The Rev. Ian Paisley, however, declared: "The strike must go on!" If it does, the victim will not only be Ulster's economy, but also the Sunningdale agreement, which six months ago promised an end to Northern Ireland's tragic and bizarre sectarian strife...
