Peace Train Organisation

[1][2] Other key figures in the organisation south of the border were the then Workers Party MEP Proinsias De Rossa, Tom French and southern secretary Seán Ó Cionnaith.

[3] In the North key figures included Paddy Devlin, Chris and Michael McGimpsey, Dr Liam Kennedy, Mary McMahon and Eileen Bell.

[citation needed] A number of further Peace Train events were held, including a large rally at Oriel Park football ground in Dundalk, Co. Louth.

[citation needed] Peace Train passengers travelled from Belfast to Dublin, then on to London to highlight the issue at national level, with a rally addressed by Sam McAughtry, Chris Hudson and IRA torture victim Maurice Healy.

[citation needed] Danny Morrison had denounced the trains as a 'stunt' and wrote a letter from the H-block to the Irish Times condemning the 'smugness, aloofness and hypocrisy' of the associated peace rallies.
