If it is, it's hard for the reader to discern much more than emotional rhetoric.<br /><br />It would be far better I think to explain what the conditions in Maghaberry jail are like, give concrete examples in a way that can elicit sympathy from the wider Republican community.<br /><br />With men like Gerry McGeough in Daniel Gillenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490387853646274558noreply@blogger.com
