	Written Statement on IRA murder of British Ambassador to Ireland (Christopher Ewart-Biggs) \| Margaret Thatcher ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		I am shocked and appalled by the brutal murder of Her Majesty's [ Christopher Ewart Biggs] Ambassador to the Republic of Ireland, and his [ Judith Cook] companion.
		Ewart Biggs served his country gallantly in war and peace.
		I do not know what the perpetrators of this ghastly crime sought to achieve, but they will not succeed either in damaging our relations with the people of Eire and their Government, or weaken our resolve to destroy terrorism wherever it appears.

		She was an accomplished, elegant hostess to a glittering array of guests and a devoted mother and wife who shared the political idealism of her husband, Christopher, who served as second-in-command of several British embassiesin Algeria during its volatile independence struggle and then in calmer Paris.
		She discusses, among other things, the feeling of dislocation from one's own culture that is a by-product of the peripatetic existence; the significant role played by foreign-service wives; and such esoterica as the art of placement at formal dinners.
		The last chapters recount the author's attempts to deal with her loss and reconstitute her life, which led to her becoming a peer in the House of Lords and an active worker for peace in Northern Ireland.

		I am delighted to be here this evening in so distinguished and talented a company and honoured by the invitation to present the fourteenth Christopher Ewart-Biggs Award.
		The murder in 1976 of Christopher Ewart-Biggs - and, let us not forget, of a young civil servant, Judith Cook - was one of the flest episodes in the recent history of the British-Irish relationship.
		Its violation of the basic tenets of civilised hospitality, and the repudiation of dialogue it symbolised, were both shocking.
