 All Hell Will Break Loose / AUSTIN CURRIE
Currie exposed the institutionalised discrimination in the North by highlighting anti-Catholic bias in housing allocation.
Currie recounts his fairly orthodox nationalist upbringing, his early attempts at political agitation in Queens University, Belfast, and a political career that took him from Fermanagh and South Tyrone to Dublin West.
The Curries were frequently targeted by B-Specials and loyalists, yet he foregoes the temptation to rage against those who vied to make his life unbearable - even while recounting the vicious attack on Annita in their home in 1972.

The failure of these methods to achieve redress bred a sense of futility that prompted a significant departure from convention, a new tendency epitomised most memorably by Austin Currie's squatting at a house in Caledon in June 1968.
This incident, as Currie intended it would, focused public attention on the issue of fair housing allocation.
Radicals who helped organise the protest did not share with Currie a set of common aspirations; nonetheless, their sense of frustration at the failure of the system to address their concerns were real enough.

After the ban on the Easter Parade in Armagh NICRA attended a Republican organised Rally Saturday after Easter [April 20] to protest against the ban on parades and a week later there was another meeting at the same spot to protest against the ban on Republican Clubs.
NICRA was slowly coming to realise that a ban on street demonstrations was an effective Government weapon against political protest, and that although letter writing to Stormont was a fine form of occupational therapy, it was unlikely to bring any worthwhile results.
Gerry Fitt and Austin Currie were present and Fitt later made a special report to the Prime Minister, Harold Wilson, in which he complained about the role of the police.
