The Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association was a civil rights organizing group in Northern Ireland that existed during the Campaign for Civil Rights in Northern Ireland. It was founded in 1967 and organized marches against discrimination and internment. It ceased most of its organizing in 1972 after the Bloody Sunday massacre and the subsequent decline in peaceful organizing and increase in armed action, though it continued to stage small marches and hold meetings.[1]
