The Northern Resistance Movement was an Irish republican organisation set up following the introduction of internment on 9 August 1971.
The Tyrone Central Civil Resistance Committee organised a meeting in Omagh on 17 October 1971. With more than 40,000 households on rent-and-rate strike, primarily Council tenants, and with further refusals to pay money collected by the local state, Local Government virtually ground to a halt. As opposition councillors and businessmen withdrew from the councils and commissions, Newry, Strabane, Coalisland and other smaller towns were left with no town councils and the Government stepped in with the Payment for Debt (Emergency Powers) Act according to which anyone who owed money to the State and who refused to paym, was to have their debts paid by way of deductions from their State entitlements.
