Campaign for Social Justice

in Northern Ireland (CSJ) A group which began campaigning for 'civil rights' in Northern Ireland in 1964. The Campaign for Social Justice in Northern Ireland (CSJ) began in Dungannon, County Tyrone, with a committee made up mainly from the Catholic middle-class. The committee of the Campaign for Social Justice was listed in February 1965 as: Mrs Patricia McCluskey, Mrs Maura Mullally, Mrs Olive Scott, Maurice Byrne BDS, JJ Donnelly, Peter Gormley MB FRCS, Conor Gilligan FRCS, Brian Gregory BA FRIBA, Conn McCluskey MB, Thomas McLaughlin, Sean McGivern, Hugh P McConville PT. The original address for the CSJ was given as, Castlefields, Dungannon, County Tyrone. Its main approach in the mid 1960s was to try to publicise what it saw as injustices in the region through a series of booklets, pamphlets, letters, meetings, etc. Much of this material related to perceived discrimination in employment, housing, electoral practices, and public appointments. One of the first publications was a pamphlet entitled 'Northern Ireland The Plain Truth' which was published on 5 February 1964.
