Irish National Caucus

Working for justice and praying for peace in Ireland... WELCOME TO THE IRISH NATIONAL CAUCUS BLOG Ceade Mile Failte -- hundred thousand welcomes! We believe the U.S. has a vital role to play by applying a single -- not a double-standard in its foreign policies towards human rights in Ireland. In particular, we believe the U.S. must not subsidize anti-Catholic discrimination in Northern Ireland. That is why the Irish National Caucus in 1984 initiated the MacBride Principles.

FR. MC MANUS APPEALS FOR JUSTICE FOR MARIAN PRICE






Mr.David Ford MLA
Northern Ireland Justice Minister
Unit 2 21A Carnmoney Rd,
Newtownabbey BT36 6HL

Dear David,
It was nice seeing at today's NI Bureau's breakfast.
I had wanted to raise the issue of Marian Price, but was distracted by all the activity around us.
The humanitarian issue is, of course, inherently compelling: Marian should not be treated in such a inhumane way.
Moreover, her savage treatment is a terrible indictment of the justice system, and a PR- disaster for your Office.
If mercy does not impel you to facilitate her release, then political-legal common sense should.
I know you are a just and decent man, you should not  let others force you to go down in history as the torturer of Marian Price.
Sean
