I'm interested to read what he has to say. However, my inferred criticism with regards to the failure of former prisoners to express public support for present day prisoners stands. They should be ashamed.

Alec,

there is a piece sent in last night, going out tonight, written by a Spartan who was at the march with other Spartans. It is very critical of the banner

Just looking through some of the photo's taken in Derry at the weekend and one banner in particular sticks out. It asks a simple but germane question: Where are the Spartans? Spartans being the term used by Richard O'Rawe to describe the Blanketmen. And yes, where are they indeed.

Nuala,

I always found him to be a great campaigner and absolutely committed to prisoners’ rights. It was great of the Oliver Plunkett to facilitate the discussion, particularly so at a time when other venues are being denied because of pressure being applied.

Marty,

That’s funny about the peas. In the jail they sued to have this madcap idea called ‘the Process’ and it was aimed at making everybody docile. I once wrote a poem in there mocking it and I referred to nice processed peas being churned out with no sharp edges.

The Price of maintaining the statelet which is Northern Ireland. The latest futile attempt to create a psuedo identity for the occupied 6 counties, celebrating an iceberg which caused the death of 1,500 people is mind blowing. But right thinking people are well aware that the glaring similarity between Tiatanic and undemocratic Stormont executive can be summed up by one word. SUNK! How the DFM can tread a red carpet in memory of ship built by a work force which epitomised the inherent sectarianism of this illegitimate statelet, let alone the fate of Catholics on the Titanic is beyond me.

Not long home from Derry where we attended a march and rally for Marian outside the Guildhall,it was great to see people from all over Ireland there showing support to this very worthwhile cause,Speakers included Pat Ramsey,fr Murray,Nuala Perry,and Eve Brady,A mighty cheer went up from those gathered there when Marian phoned Pauline Mellon,the qsf reps from Derry and the rest of the country must have had other more important things to attend to because they sure as hell were not there to show even the most minimalist support for this humanatarian issue.

Frankie when I hear the word process I immediately think of peas,they are put through a process to stop them from spoiling,something akin to the process that qsf members go through to stop them thinking for themselves,and spoiling the illusion that they are one big green mass,difference is mushy peas are lovely, mushy qsf is nothing more that mush,

As far as I can make out about the politcal process (it aint a peace process yet)...Is this, if you disagree with PRM then instead of being labled a tout and whacked..They simply silence people by getting them locked up under anyway they deem fit and throw away they key.

Mackers,
I have heard this speech several times but it is great being able to read it in print.
Father Murray has spent his life working tirelessly against injustice.
I attended that night in Oliver Plunkett and it was very moving.
Father Murray was a great friend to us in prison and remains one to this very day.
He has walked a very long road with Doloures and Marian and is still ploughing on.
