Ulster Protestant Action

Ulster Protestant Action appears in 697. The Troubles: Murder in Belfast (Part 1) as Ian Paisley’s political wing during the 1960s. The episode says it recruited more people amid economic anxiety and sectarian tension.

The organization links Paisley’s preaching and publicity tactics to organized loyalist politics. In the source’s sequence, it sits beside Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster and before Noel Doherty’s Ulster Protestant Volunteers, showing how anti-Catholic rhetoric could become a recruiting structure.
