Subject: Deepest Sympathy Author: CR Vets [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:36:28 08/17/02 Sat Derry. Noon. Saturday DEEPEST SYMPATHY With a deep sense of sadness civil rights veterans received word that Kyle McMonagle, aged two years and six months, passed away peacefully at 10 am to-day, in Altnagelvin Hospital, surrounded by members of his loving family. Over recent weeks the family have maintained a constant vigil at the hospital. Kyle had suffered with a very severe form of hydrocephalus. We wish to thank sincerely all those, who upon our request, personally contacted the Prison Service and the N. Ireland Office in a bid to secure compassionate parole for Kyle’s grandfather, Mr. Ciaran McLaughlin, a long-term republican prisoner at HMP Maghaberry. These included the Bishop of Derry, Dr. Seamus Hegarty, the city’s mayor, Councillor Anne Mc Closkey, and Mr. Ivan Cooper, a former Minister of Community Relations in the ill-fated 1974 power-sharing executive at Stormont. We wish also to thank our many sincere friends in the United States whose continuing support is much needed, and greatly appreciated. While Mr. McLaughlin was not released to bid a last fond farewell to the child, all concerned parties will mount a determined effort again to ensure that he is present at Kyle’s funeral. We civil rights’ veterans now call on the Stormont and British authorities to keep their ‘security’ to a minimum at this sad time for Ciaran, and his long-suffering family. We wish to see Kyle laid to rest in a totally peaceful and dignified manner. Messages of sympathy received by the civil rights veterans association will be printed out and conveyed to the child’s grieving family. The remains will be waked to night and Sunday night. Our members will be on hand should the family require any assistance at this tragic time. We extend our deepest sympathy to Kyle’s parents, his grandmother Mrs. Bernadette Mc Laughlin, and all the family circle, and hope to be able to speak to Ciaran personally to offer our condolences over the next few days.
