Love Ulster's first public manifestation was in August 2005, when its members symbolically reenacted the
Ulster Volunteer Force's Larne Gun Running of 1914. Love Ulster members brought 200,000 copies of a special edition of the
Shankill Mirror newspaper into the port of Larne, bearing the banner headline, "Ulster At Crisis Point", reflecting the group's views that
Northern Ireland was then about to be "sold out" into a
United Ireland. On 25 February 2006, a planned Love Ulster march in
Dublin was prevented from taking place due to protests culminating in
rioting. A second Love Ulster rally in Dublin was discussed as a possibility for the latter part of 2007 and approved by the
Garda Síochána. However, it was cancelled following discussions between Frazer and the Irish foreign minister
Dermot Ahern. ==References==
