His boo did little to upset the SF narrative but it did not have the benefit of the O'Rawe intervention which has changed the game substantially.

Bobby wrote out on the night it collapsed that he would commence another on January 1st. He was instructed to hold off in order to buy time and so a victory parade was held up the Falls Road to celebrate a victory that never was.

Given how the first hungerstrike ended, could an offer not explicitly detailed have been accepted?
