Ulster Constitution Defence Committee

The Ulster Constitution Defence Committee (UCDC) was a body established in Northern Ireland by the Rev. Ian Paisley in April 1966 as the governing organ of the loyalist Ulster Protestant Volunteers (UPV). It coordinated parades, counter-demonstrations and paramilitary activities against the reforms of prime minister Terence O'Neill and any gestures made to the civil rights movement.
