Actor Stephen Rea carries coffin at ex-wife Dolours Price’s Belfast funeral

Woodman. Please keep up, I don`t recall Delours telling people to pass on information to the British in relation to ongoing operations being carried out by soldiers of Ireland. Gerry and Martin on the other hand.

Adams was correct not to attend the funeral of a bitter woman who collaborated with the British govt to try and jail him. Even if her claims that Adams was her IRA commander were true she should never have said that publicly. It's too bad Price wanted to turn informer before she died.

Aliciarose, Pope JPII begged children of Ireland to turn away from violence, did Mr I.P. EVER do the same?

Who's coffin was he supposed to carry?

Of course Adams would deny he was the Leader of the IRA. He's a LIAR and a MURDERER and he will go to his grave as one. BUT I am sure some priest will grant him permission at the Pearly Gates to enter. Bloody Hypocrits. Take McGuinness with you.

The way Hollywood has intruded itself upon the Irish Socio-Political scene, Mr. Rea is very Lucky not to Burying one of his own, as a result of Sectarian Violence ~

Woundedknee. Fr Faul is on record of warning people to JII8 or the fishermans true intentions at the time of the hunger strikes and as with so many other times we believed the leadership and their anti Faul spin. The energy was being zapped from the RA with every death but unknown to those outside the doves within the Army council, every death was taking us closer to politics as an end game where the chosen few would yet again reap the benefits by way of votes as opposed to fresh vols, the norm up until then.

they fought and suffered for what they believed in.r.i.p.

Seamus: I hadn't realized Fr Faul had died until I read your post. He was a fine man too. Some Sinn Feiners tried to spread poison about him because he persuaded the hunger-strikers and especially their families to call off the hunger strike. But wasn't he right? Ten men had already died--another ten, twenty, even fifty could have died and it wouldn't have advanced the cause one inch. I myself think the hunger strike should have been called off after Sands died. I was in Ireland that summer, and you could see the energy being sapped from the movement with every death. Back in the really bad days of the early 1970s Fr Faul and Fr Murray stood with the Nationalist people when their own bishops reneged on them, and they should be remembered for that.

pilib: There's no need to read Adams' words.

Condolences to all of Delours family members and Marian. Gerry Adams TD and President of Sinn Fein, commented: " I am very sad. I have known her for a very long time. For her sons Oscar and Danny there is nothing worse than losing your mother. Dolours was a long time in prison in England, but she also was force-fed for over 200 days...When you consider that, and her own personal trials and tribulations, none of what has occurred in terms of her parting ways with Sinn Fein...should diminish, at all, her life."

Rest in peace brave Delours. They still couldn`t take your mind.Spot on about Fr Raymond Murray, he and the late Fr Dennis Faul deserve applause for their unwavering work in aid of those suffering injustice.

Father Raymond Murray--What a great man. A lifetime of service to the Nationalist people of the North of Ireland. If only all Catholic priests had been like him the Church would be strong and vibrant in Ireland today.
