This
book was compiled by a group of Republican women ex-prisoners, Evelyn
Brady, Eva Patterson, Kate McKinney,Martine Jackson, Rosie Hamill and
Pauline Jackson in memory of their comrade, Eileen Hickey.
The Late Eileen Hickey "This book could have been written a long time ago but it would not have come from the women who experienced arrests, interrogations, beatings and eventual imprisonment at the hands of the RUC and British Army. The book is not solely about Armagh Gaol but every prison that held an Irish Republican woman. These stories have to be hold for the sake of Republican history." |
Monsignor Raymond Murray Catholic Chaplain to Armagh Gaol from 1967-1986 "This book was the inspiration of Eileen Hickey who was the leader or OC of the political prisoners in Armagh from 1973-1977. Large parts of it were already completed before her death. It is a fitting tribute to her. She died on 2nd February 2006." |
