Tommy McKearney and Billy Mitchel, Northern Ireland, former members
and underground activists of the enemy organizations IRA (Irish
Republican Army) and UVF (Ulster Volunteer Force) After long prison
sentences in the same high security prison, they founded the
initiative "The Other View", a forum that lends space and tolerance
to contradicting opinions in order to get a new view on an over 300
year old history of conflict, at the same time disillusioning and
encouraging.

In 2003, at the Congress, there were 2 speakers from oppositesides of
the fence who were doing work together on long-standinganimosities in
Northern Ireland.. If either of you are on CT, I'd love to have anabout
update. If not - does anyone know who they are and where I learn
developments?
I'm also interested in what else might be going on with that type of
work. (I was unable to attend the Mahr's conference in 2008.) Can
someone help in this regard?
Many thanks.
Barbara
