	Bernadette Devlin McAliskey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Josephine Bernadette Devlin McAliskey (born April 23, 1947, in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, to a Catholic nationalist family), also known as Bernadette Devlin and Bernadette McAliskey, is a Northern Ireland republican political activist.
		Devlin had witnessed the event and was infuriated that, although parliamentary convention decreed that any M.P. witnessing an incident under discussion would be granted an opportunity to speak about it in parliament, she had been consistently denied the chance to speak.
		McAliskey remains an active commentator and activist on the margins of Northern Irish politics, where she has expressed strong opposition to the Good Friday Agreement and to Sinn Féin's entry into government in Northern Ireland stating that IRA volunteers had not died to create "a common teaching qualification".
