An interesting comment from the Prisons Ombudsman that they haven't received a complaint about the conditions of Marian Price's imprisonment. Also defending strip searching.

totally agree Marty. If it's true about that house then a lot of 'heads' who were in the provos want to be asking a few BIG questions....round about the 'blaney somewhere!!

Mackers

i see. Always love reading his works. War and an Irish town was my first political read when I up-graded from Walker Macken at 14 or so. He always sailed close to the wind politically Eamonn but was inteligent enough (in hindsight) to refrain from involvement with militarism. A great deal more integrity than those big names who were the opposit for decades than what we were led to believe.

Just thinking, where exactly does Eamonn McCann fit in to all of this? Is the funeral oration a new stance/approach from Eamon?

Michaelhenry

I think you have been straight enough to be fair. I was critical of the protests in prison and on Marion getting arrested. I still feel those things were questionable to say the least.

Politically however there is little question in my mind that the funeral of Delours was a watershed which stripped SF of any last semblance of republicanism. You guys are now right up there 'officially' with the sticks.

That's my political take, nothing personal.

michaelhenry:

Point taken and I understand were your coming from. I know how much she was loved by all who commented on her death, but she was loved by more than us on the quill, throughout Ireland and beyond, she was loved.

As For Eamonn getting bad mannered by Seamus McKendry and taunted by Alex Kane, I'm sure it will be like water of a ducks back to him.

itsjustmacker-

" Were's Michael Henry,showing his true colours of course, "

I hold the same opinion of a person
when they die as when they are living but i choose to say nothing about Dolours on the Quill during her wake and funeral if that is all right with you-but i read all the posts and comments and you would need to have a heart of stone not to see how much she was loved by others who write on the Quill-

Eamonn McCann got bad manners in todays newsletter for paying Tribute to Dolours price by jean mcConville son in law Seamus McKendry-McCann is also being taunted by Alex Kane on twitter today over his speech-

Frankie:

It was not just Marian who foresaw what was happening within SF, It was a foregone conclusion they were selling out, but what gets me so mad is, Brainwashed Dumbos are still buying Adams Books, those scum are still making money on those ten brave men who paid the ultimate sacrifice by dying on hunger strike, Its only locals who opposed this will be able to write the truth of SF's deceit. The world now knows what they have done.
They took the queens shilling and by entering stornmont they themselves became British and guarenteed £100,000 per year from the british, but the biggest laugh is, they may be about to lose that money, That's if the DUP have there way. Its at the moment being debated in the UK parliament for the withdrawal of those funds. I cant wait for the results!

Marty:

"If rain meant tears then there were bucketloads shed today.its a pity that as republicans we seem to gather only at the saddest occasions,"

That's true Marty, but look on the Bright side, those scum who still have the cheek to call themselves Republicans (SF) have to go through the onslaught, they now release they are no longer fooling the people. Were's Michael Henry, showing his true colours of course, or was he warned not to make any comments about a true Republicans burial. only he can answer that!.

2013-01-28T19:25:14.428Z
I can't help but think a couole of hours was more cruel than not being paroled at all.

That Marian herself may have even been too ill to withstand more than that is besides the point. If she's too ill to cope with more than 2-3 hours then she's too ill to be in gaol at all.

And why so early in the morning? Are they afraid that people would have seen her, saw how ill she actually is and be sickened into taking action to campaign for her release?

God bless her. My hearts going out to her at this awful time.

Following on from Marty's post, it has to be said that he and his lady wife played a crucial role in the [understandably] covert operation yesterday and should be given due credit for their dedication to Marian and her family.

AM - did I happen to see you at the march yesterday?

Bookworm - no, it was early in the morning.

Fair play To Marian it must have been incredibly hard.
A final farewell the hardest thing made ultimately harder by ridiculous preconditions and chaperone.
Fair play to her solicitor Peter Corrigan for bringing her home even if it was only for a few short hours.
Bernadette Devilin paid the most beautiful and fitting tribute to Dolours in Derry today. Her fitting tribute was woven into the justice speech in Bernadettes usual easy, articulate and genuine manner.

Brits are keeping Marians short release a big secret. Nothing in the news about it. I wonder why.

Are they going to release a massive press statement and make themselves the good guys ,by stating , As a matter of goodwill she was released on humanitarian grounds to grieve with her family for a short time, She is now back in her hospital ward under 24/7 guard, (INTERNED) (PRISON).

2013-01-27T14:27:41.362Z
Marty,
Fair play to you, marie et al for putting yourselves out and reuniting Marian even briefly with Dolours. Its gestures like you have shown that helps restore faith in humanity. My hat is off to you.

Marty:

A Little is better than nothing.

A big thank you to those MLA's, but, Also to Yourself and Marie, and to the TD's who have called for Marians release.
At least Marian will be able to grieve with her family for a short time, as Anthony stated, It should have been from Dolours Death (R.I.P.) until the burial, this is the Brits way of saying, we still control everything. SCUM OF THE EARTH.

2013-01-27T13:50:30.782Z
Belfast Bookworm Marian was released for three hours this morning from 8am until 11am and as Anthony rightly says it is simply not good enough,my thoughts were its like a cat playing with a half dead mouse vindictive and unnecessary,they said we are going to have a new beginning fuck this looks like same old same old.if they truly believed their argument then let them put Marian and Martin through due process.

Marty; was she only released for a few hours in the middle of the night? Have I got this right?

Fair play to the TDs who made this call.

TDs make urgent call for compassionate release of Marion Price for her
sisters funeral

January 26, 2013

We call on the Justice Minister David Ford to allow Marion Price
compassionate release to join her family and attend the funeral of her
sister Dolours Price.

Marian Price is already suffering from physical and mental health
difficulties which has resulted in her detention in a hospital
facility for the past number of months. Continuing to detain her in
isolated custody to grieve alone as her sister is buried can only have
a detrimental impact on her health.
We support the call of Marion’s lawyers who have asked Mr. Ford to
consider allowing her to spend a week with her family to deal with her
loss. The case for allowing her to grieve at her sister’s funeral will
be shared even by people of profoundly different ideas and background.

We urge Mr Ford as an act of compassion to act urgently and release Marion Price in time for her sister’s funeral.

Signed,
Richard Boyd Barrett TD
Joan Collins TD
Clare Daly TD
Thomas Pringle TD
