	Paddy Devlin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paddy Devlin (March 8, 1925-August 15, 1999) was a Northern Irish social democrat and Labour activist, a former Stormont MP, a founder of the Social Democratic and Labour Party and a member of the 1974 Power Sharing Executive.
		Devlin was born in the Pound Loney in the Lower Falls in West Belfast on 8 March 1925 and lived in the city for almost all his life.
		Devlin, like Fitt, was a Labour man first and foremost and deeply distrusted John Hume and others in the SDLP who he regarded as nationalists and not social democrats.

	Irish Echo Online - Arts
		Playwright Devlin, the Belfast-born daughter of the controversial labor leader Paddy Devlin, who died in 2000, has framed her story, whose title is the literal translation of "Sinn Fein," in no fewer than 15 scenes, set mainly in and around Andersonstown, West Belfast, with brief excursions to South Belfast and Dublin.
		In writing this, her first play, Devlin had assigned herself an almost insurmountable task, namely to tell the story of the tough years endured by the city of her birth, using as a medium the stories of a trio of "ordinary" Catholic women whose lives were altered irreparably by ongoing events.
		The space in which Zablocki's surprisingly effective staging of Devlin's play is housed is a small, square area off the lobby of the YMCA on West 63rd Street in Manhattan, a brick-walled room with the audience positioned on three sides of the square where the action takes place.

	Labour In Northern Ireland------------View Update
		In the event when the party was launched in August 1970, its leader was Gerry Fitt, and it was his labour credentials and those of Paddy Devlin which gained the new party admission to the Socialist International, and thus its 'Sister Party' status.
		Fitt and Devlin both subsequently left the SDLP because, under John Hume's influence, it had shifted away from Labour to a green nationalist stance.
		Paddy Devlin was later to become President of Labour in Northern Ireland, a position he held until his death last year.

	Gerry Fitt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Living in the nationalist Beechmount neighborhood of the Falls, he stood for the Falls as a candidate for the 'Dock Labour Party' in a city council byelection in 1956 but lost to Paddy Devlin, later his close ally, of the Irish Labour Party.
		Devlin's success greatly increased the authority of Fitt in the eyes of many British commentators, particularly as it produced a second voice on the floor of the British House of Commons who challenged the Unionist viewpoint at a time when Harold Wilson and other British ministers were beginning to take notice.
		In 1980 he was replaced by John Hume as leader of the SDLP and he left the party altogether after he had agreed to constitutional talks with British Secretary of State Humphrey Atkins without any provision for an 'Irish dimension' and had then seen his decision overturned by the SDLP party conference.

		Born on March 8, 1925, Devlin began political life as an idealistic member of the IRA and served a three-year prison sentence starting in 1942 for membership of the outlawed group.
		But Devlin, a devout socialist, resigned from the party in 1977 in protest that it was appealing too narrowly to Catholic interests at the expense of attracting support from working-class Protestants.
		We've scarcely recognized them.'' In 1981, Devlin was forced to abandon his home in his native Catholic west Belfast after facing intimidation from IRA supporters, who were angered by his criticism of the IRA prison hunger strike at the time.

		Although it's hard to find a standout track on this excellent LP the most requested track would have to be the happily named "Prison Love Songs" which is an excellent mix of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" and the traditional "The Fields of Athenry".
		Patrick Devlin's growling vocals and grinding guitar, Brian Vogel's crashing and smashing on the drums, Chad Smalley's great vocal harmony and bass work, and one of the best damn violin playing I've heard on a independent release from Turi Hoiseth just compliment each other tremendously on this disc.
		Paddy Keys tickles the ivory with easy while providing snarling and growling vocals with every track, Heavyset Joe shows that every Cheeese head can play the fiddle like they were born with it attached to their arm, while Paulie and Diesel kick in the pounding bass and smashing/crashing drums.

		Yet for as long as they persist in maintaining the pretence that republicanism avoided defeat because the British allowed a former republican prisoner to become a British minister, that pain shall haunt them into the small hours.
		Britain permitted that with Paddy Devlin in 1974.
		And while he was much further to the left than any government minister at Stormont today, we fought on for another twenty years because then it was a 'defeat' and Devlin a 'traitor, collaborator, opportunist and careerist'.

		Paddy met a bird in a pub and went off up the Cave Hill in a car.
		Bernadette Devlin punched Reginald Maulding in the face on the floor of Westminster and nationalist politicians withdrew even from the lowest form of political engagement, local government, in the North.
		Paddy Devlin persuaded the SDLP to ignore this breach of the rules, but even he had to restrain Fitt publicly when Unionist jeers about Fitt's token presence in City Hall provoked Fitt to throw down a challenge that he could resign altogether, fight as an abstentionist and still beat them.

		Only two of the songs had ever been recorded before (Paddy's Lamentation and Pat Murphy Of The Irish Brigade--the condensed version of the song), and one had no melody listed at all.

		Given the show trials about to take place for Turnley's murder members of the same groups should take note that they appear to be expendable once their dirty work is done and the need for an exemplary and impartial RUC image is required by their British political paymasters.
		In this regard, criticism from Paddy Devlin directed towards the SAS is particularly opportunist even for that SDLP reject.
		Having attached his colours to the reactionary concept of an independent six county Ulster, Devlin has offered the full weight of his waning credibility to the RUC.
