>welcome at Bodenstown? We very much doubt it!

The above question posed by 'Bogsider' is accurately answered in the next line. While she/he obviously supports the Capt. Kelly Justice Campaign, she/he should be aware that the Capt's widow and family have been through enough anguish from so-called 'Republicans',indeed from several labels within its Heinz Beans type menu of 57 Varieties, from Jack Lynch until more recent times. The CKJCampaign has no intention of putting this family in any position where even a minority at Bodenstown or elsewhere would be likely to be hostile towards their efforts to make the Dublin administration come clean on the events of 1969 which led to the infamous Arms Trial. Also, Civil Rights Veterans, officially supportive of totally non-violent political action would hardly be welcome with its current red and white banner which reads, "For Jobs, Decent Wages and Full Human Rights". They would, in my opinion be totally out-of-place. Such a presence at Bodenstown especially would not only be a contradiction but possibly the death-knell of the civil rights veterans network, as it embraces folk with a diversity of political opinions. That diversity is the real strength of the network which must be protected at all costs if it is to remain a force for progress on diverse issues and campaigns, which it has embraced over many years.
