Audio interview with Mrs Goodfellow, a former resident of Caledon, by Proinsias O Conluain for RTE News in August 1969. In June 1968 Austin Currie and others protested against perceived discrimination in housing allocation by ‘squatting’ in a house in Caledon, Dungannon. In August of that year the Northern Ireland Civil Rights movement began public marches in support of its objectives, among them the fair allocation of housing, causing community tensions between Catholics and Protestants. Mrs. Goodfellow discusses the eviction of her family from a house in the area and the wider civil rights campaign.
