This Came Over the Irish Political Status Committee Forum, figuered it would do some good here as well
On behalf of the Irish Political Status Coalition.
A cairde
We are urging everyone, friends, members and concerned individuals to assist us in our efforts to continue the pressure on the 26 County Government to Repatriate the Remaining 6 Republican Prisoners from England to jails in the 26 counties as is their right.
We are trying a new tact in this campaign; we would ask that everyone able e-mail the people ultimately responsible for the continued delay in the transfer of these prisoners. So this is the plan
On Wednesday 5th July e-mail Dermot Ahern Email: dahern@iol.ie
On Thursday 6th July e-mail Michael McDowell Email: info@michaelmcdowell.ie
If everyone can do this and get friends and relatives to e-mail we should get a few hundred e-mails landing in their boxes which will achieve the purpose of letting them know that they cannot ignore the plight of these men and their families The families continue to incur great emotional and financial burdens secondary to the distances they must travel to see their loved ones.
The names and addresses and sample letters are below so you can use the sample letters provided, reword it or write your own.
Let us all put 5 minutes aside to help these men and send the e-mails and continue writing to the departments responsible for the repatriation listed below.
The prisoners are aware of the efforts and this is giving them great hope in what must be a living hell each day spent in those Hell Holes.

Dear Sir:
Again I write to you on behalf of the families of Declan Rafferty, Michael McDonald, Fintan O'Farrell, Noel Maguire and Aiden and Robert Hulme, as it concerns their repatriation back to Ireland from British jails.
The recent repatration of James McCormack, though long overdue, was very much welcomed by myself and many others following this issue. The families of the other men continue to wait, however.
With the exception of Aiden Hulme, all have been informed that their repatriation applications have been accepted by the Irish government. Mr. McCormack's return to Ireland took thirteen months from the acceptance of his application, an inordinant, and seemingly unecessary, length of time to transfer one man such a short distance. Surely the Irish government has the capability to expedite this process.
As for Aiden Hulme, it is unconscienable that the Irish government continues to delay the acceptance of his repatriation application. The status of his physical health is well known to the Irish and British governments and these continued delays are tantamount to torture.
Please act now!
Thank you.
