Very sad to hear Margaretta D'Arcy has died.
Besides her relentless anti-war activism, her book on the women protesting in Armagh Prison, Tell Them Everything, is such an important piece of writing.
She was also key to springing Kate Millett from institutional confinement in Clare in 1980.

Active neutrality is not about being passive, it is about actively working to stop war and genocide and to uphold international law.
The Government's inaction on the OTB is closely linked with its far more urgent action on removing the Triple Lock.
