Anthony,
I am a month behind in catching up on all of my readings and I will get there soon, but I especially wanted to say - great piece on Brendan Hughes. I had the great pleasure of meeting Brendan when he came to the states many years ago for a quick spell. A complete gentleman, open, honest and humble. He signed a book I had just purchased the night I met him at a private fundraiser called "Ten Men Dead" by David Beresford. He signed it "An Dorcha". I never forgot him and his unwavering dedication to the republican movement.

RE: 'Brendan was happy to sit on the margins because in his view of the world it was at the margins where the marginalised, whom he had always championed, were to be found.'
Says it all... truth always stands alone for all to see. The acid rain of compromise, lies and dross makes Brendan Hughes shine out more for his AUTHENTICITY for sure. NB All around the world the name Brendan Hughes is spoken of with RESPECT. You wrote beautifully and you are innately gifted in writing but you know why its so beautiful to me eyes... It is simply the TRUTH. You have honoured him. Grma.

I appreciate this moving reminder of your comrade and dear friend's legacy. I secularized my blessing to be rendered doubly appropriately: 'Ar dheis síocháin go raibh a hanam'.

Mackers, what a lovely tribute. This must be an especially difficult time for you as, I know you were a constant in his life when the fairweather friends had flown.

Beautiful tribute. Thank you.
