<%itemTemplate%> <%itemText%> <%when%>  <%permalink%>  <%editButton%> <%enclosure%> Marian Price Following the media furore over Ciaran Mc Laughlin[base ']s parole protest this week I feel compelled to raise some questions that they have ignored, whether by accident or design. Perhaps the most pertinent one is why Ciaran was forced into the situation where he felt such action necessary. Why did the NIO and the prison authorities single him out for such harsh treatment? It is the norm for prisoners to be granted 72hrs parole in the case of a close family bereavement. 7:08:41 AM
