Irish Chief Admits Party Mistreats Catholics

The inquiry cited housing bias, anti Catholic discrimination in appointments, and gerrymandering as core causes. It urged a police complaints board and unified civil service, while noting police brutality in protests and praising the IRA for restraining violence. It criticized Rev Paisley and Miss Devlin for inflammatory tactics and warned of ongoing Catholic grievances.
