Fr Mc Manus,
in Dublin for the launch of
his Memoirs, released the
following statement :
"I conclude
my book , My American
Struggle for Justice in
Northern Ireland with
this :” I am hopeful for the
future of Ireland – the
whole island of Ireland.
Even though, I think, we
have still a long way to go.
I believe “the Union” will
die on the vine. The only
way it can be saved is if
the IRA came back into
business. One of the great
Irish ironies! But it is an
irony I hope that patriotic
young Irish men and women
take heed of: No young Irish
person need be killed – or
kill -- for full Irish
freedom”.
That is why
I am now so deeply grieved
by the recent death of the
young policeman. It was a terrible
act, should not have
happened and is to be
totally condemned.
I appeal to
those who did the killing to
quit their campaign and to embrace
the peace-process, as the
only way forward".
