Saturday 18th August 2012
SB: We're going over to Belfast to speak to Jerry McGlinchey whose wife, Marian Price, has been imprisoned for two years (Ed Note: fifteen months) on secret evidence she's never been allowed to see. Marian's health has been deteriorating badly. And this week she had to be taken from the prison hospital where she's being treated to a local hospital both on Thursday and Friday. Jerry, thanks very much for being with us.

LITTLE STANDING
The Irish Labour Party is certainly holding the line for secularism. Whether it is Eamonn Gilmore telling the Vatican to get lost or Pat Rabbitte blowing off Cardinal Sean Brady’s proposal that the Church would lobby the government on the abortion issue, the lines have certainly been drawn. Priestcraft has little purchase with the Labour Party and society is all the better for that, even if there are grounds to suspect that because it has failed miserably to hold the line for socialism its push against Church encroachment is solely down to the secular providing the one space where the party can wax radical.

On Sunday the 2nd of September Clonard Commemoration Committee will hold a short remembrance ceremony for the seventieth anniversary of C Company Volunteers Gerard O Callaghan and Tom Williams.
This event is totally non-party political and is designed with nothing other in mind than a short dedication to both these young men's lives.
