Former blanketman Seamus Kearney is the author of a book detailing his experience of those desolate years when he and many other prisoners both protested against and prevailed over British government attempts to depict resistance to British policy in Ireland as an aggravated crime wave.  


No Greater Love - An epic story of the triumph of the human spirit will be launched by another former blanketman, Jake Mac Siacais in Belfast this Saturday.

I am deeply honoured to have been asked to launch this memoir by my comrade Seamus Kearney. His powerful and moving book charts the years of turbulence caused by Britain's vain attempts at criminalising the Republican struggle in Ireland , which culminated in the deaths of ten republican prisoners. This is a journey into the depths of oppression and the soaring heights of human resistance and resilience. Anyone wishing to gain an insight into the epic struggle of the Blanket Protest and Hunger Strike of 1981 needs this book on their shelf.

The book will be officially launched at Aras na bhFal in Belfast's Gaeltacht Quarter, 300 metres from An Culturlann, on Saturday 27th November 2021 - 1.00pm til 3.00pm.

All welcome.
