March 10th: In the 6 Counties artificially partitioned from the 9 in the Ulster Province, the bodies of John Mac Caig, Joseph Mac Caig and Dougall Mac Caughy who were 3 British Imperial Military soldiers from the Royal Highlands Fusiliers were discovered near Belfast Airport in the north - east of Co. Antrim in the Ulster Province. They had been out to a bar where they had run into members of the Provisional I.R.A. - Provos and were basically only young Scottish youths and everyone in Ireland was shocked by their deaths. The British Conservative Government then put out an order recalling all of their British Imperial soldiers under 18 years of age.  William Hull who was from the Belfast Shipyards in Co. Antrim led a march of his workers to the Stormont Parliament expressing the non - Catholic anger over the killings of such young people demanding "Internment without Trial" for any I.R.A. suspects.

     In the 6 Counties artificially partitioned from the 9 in the Ulster Province, Major James Dawson Chichester - Clark the "Official" Unionist Stormont Prime Minister was in big trouble once again, but instead of doing something positive, all he did was to appeal to the the British Conservative Government to bring in, "Internment without Trial." They refused his proposition and informed him that they were of the opinion that the British Imperial Military forces would return the 6 Counties, still under their control to an acceptable normality.

March 17th: In the 6 Counties artificially partitioned from the 9 in the Ulster Province, James Chichester - Clark the "Official" Unionist Stormont Prime Minister went over to England once again to try and get increased military assistance from the British Conservative Government, so they gave him another 1,000 British soldiers and more armoured cars. Personally by now he had run his race and he informed Edward Heath the British Conservative Prime Minister, that he could no longer carry on as the Prime Minister in the 6 Counties in Ulster.

March 18th: In the 6 Counties artificially partitioned from the 9 in the Ulster Province, Lord Carrington and Sir Geoffrey Baker the British Imperial Military Chief of the General Staff, arrived in Belfast in Co. Antrim from England and tried to get James Chichester - Clark to stay on as the Prime Minister for them in the 6 Counties in Ulster that were still under their control, and the British Military Defence Secretary also saw him later on again to reconsider his position, but he was adamant.      

March 22nd: In the 6 Counties artificially partitioned from the 9 in the Ulster Province, Major James Dawson Chichester - Clark resigned his position, and received a Peerage from the British Conservative Government when he was created Lord Myola, as the 5th Prime Minister of the 6 Counties in Ulster during the 50 years of total Ascendancy "Official" Unionist control there. They all had been from the English Establishment / Old Boys including James Craig / Lord Craigavon, Andrews, Brooke / Lord Brookeborough, Terence O Neill / Lord O Neill and James Chichester - Clark / Lord Myola, attending either Eton or Oxford there. At the following "Official" Unionist meeting he made a statement in which he basically came to the realisation, even though it was too late for him, that there would have to be further reforms carried out for the Catholic Irish people in the 6 Counties in Ulster,  "To create conditions in which such men and such activities can never prosper."     

March 23rd: In the 6 Counties artificially partitioned from the 9 in the Ulster Province, Arthur "Brian" Faulkner, a Presbyterian from Co. Down one of these 6 Counties in Ulster who had previously been James Chichester - Clark's second in command, became the last Prime Minister of the 6 Counties in Ulster with 26 votes when he defeated the other Unionist hard - liner, William Craig who received only 4 votes, to become the new "Official" Unionist Party leader as his particular disposition had suited the other hard - line Unionists better. Later on he would also be created Baron Faulkner by the British Conservative Government, and his opponent William Craig stated at this time, that he would only last a year, a prediction that would surely come to pass.

May end: In the 6 Counties artificially partitioned from the 9 in the Ulster Province, some of the members of the Provisional IRA / Provos bombed a bar in the Shankhill Road without warning, and Brian Faulkner the new "Official" Unionist Prime Minister in these 6 Counties in Ulster demanded that the British Imperial Military soldiers from now on were to fire on all suspicious persons.

June 22nd: In the 6 Counties artificially partitioned from the 9 in the Ulster Province, proposals were now put forward for further reform and Brian Faulkner the "Official" Unionist Stormont Prime Minister intended, for once, to recommend a whole new positive Committee system for the Stormont Government to bring in 3 Advisory Committees. They would include the appointment of 2 Catholics from the S.D.L. P. / Social Democratic Party to the chairmanship of two of them, but he was then attacked by the Rev. Ian Paisley the hard - line religious bigot for even suggesting such a thing. The Provisional IRA / Provos were not too excited about it either.

July 7th: In the 6 Counties artificially partitioned from the 9 in the Ulster Province, during the Easter marches the "Official" I.R.A. became known as the Stickies after sticking on their paper Lillies with adhesive, while their other half the Provos / Provisional I.R.A.'s new title was Stickybacks as they used a pin to secure them instead. During the march by the junior Orangemen on the Tuesday in East Belfast in Co. Antrim an I.R.A. Provisional opened fire on them, shooting 4, while on the Springfield Road a bomb was thrown into the police barracks and Sergeant Willets was killed who was to be awarded the George Cross for bravery when he saved a Catholic woman and two children together with another man by his actions.

July 8th: In the 6 Counties artificially partitioned from the 9 in the Ulster Province, riots began again in the Bogside area at Derry in Co. Derry, which was still under the control of the British Anglian Regiment. Two Catholics were killed by the British Imperial Military there after an armoured car was rammed and the Royal Anglian Regiment came under attack by the I.R.A, as they came to it's assistance, one of these was Desmond Beattie a 19 year old unemployed youth who was shot dead with one shot. The other man who was killed was Seamus Cusack a 28 year old who was at that time just walking along the street in the morning, and the P.I.R.A. / Provisional IRA / Provos then organized a rally in protest against the killings at the Bogside. Ruairi O Bradaigh the President of the political Provisional Sinn Fein Party stated that the Republicans will have to bring down the "Official" Unionist Government in Stormont if the "Troubles" were ever going to end in these 6 Counties in Ulster, and Maire Drumm their vice - President declared that everyone should now join the I.R.A. to try and get the British Imperial Government out of Ireland altogether. The Official I.R.A. also came out stating that it was sometimes necessary when faced with outright Imperialist aggression to reply in the language of the bullet and the bomb, by now it seemed that they had all had enough of the whole sorry mess.

     In the 6 Counties artificially partitioned from the 9 in the Ulster Province, Brian Faulkner the Prime Minister of the "Official" Unionist Stormont Government was expressing his personal view now, "That out of the evil in Derry may come some good," while once again he was pushing Edward Heath the Conservative British Prime Minister in England to allow him to bring in more negativity by allowing him to introduce, "Internment without Trial" in the 6 Counties in Ulster still under their control.       

July 23rd: In the 6 Counties artificially partitioned from the 9 in the Ulster Province, hundreds of British Imperial Military soldiers now carried out further raids on the homes of the people in these 6 Counties, after a list was drawn up of suspects including anyone the "Official" Unionist Government thought was against them, and by co - incidence they were nearly all Catholics. The S.D.L. Party met under John Hume to discuss the previous killing of the 2 innocent Catholic men in Derry, and Gerry Fitt their leader withdrew the  S.D.L.P. / Social Democratic Labour Party from the "Official" Unionist controlled Stormont Parliament, as Lord Balniel, the Conservative Minister of Defence, had refused to hold an inquiry into the previous deaths of Seamus Cusack and Desmond Beattie. Gerry Fitt also demanded that the British Conservative Government withdraw their Military troops out of Ireland altogether. Once again the "Official" Unionist Government were free of any real chance of Opposition in the Stormont Parliament in these 6 Counties. The ultimate prison, "The Maze" at Lisburn near Long Kesh in Co. Antrim was already being set up by the "Official" Unionist Stormont Government to be used as their "Internment Camp."

July 31st:  In the 6 Counties artificially partitioned from the 9 in the Ulster Province, to create greater pressure on the population there the British Conservatives Government's Military forces were moved into Derry in Co. Derry where the I.R.A. had their "No Go" areas, which they had originally set up to protect the Catholic Irish residents there and to try and keep the clashes down. At the same time Reginald Maudling the British Conservative Government's Overseerer in England of these 6 Counties went on T.V. there mentioning bringing in "Internment without Trial" in these 6 Counties in Ireland still under their control.  

     The Provisional IRA /  Provos had constantly increased their bombings during June and July and by now had exploded 125 devices.
