		McIlkenny, a Belfast-born factory worker, and a married man with six children aged from 17 down to six, was arrested with three others at Heysham as they tried to board a Belfast ferry hours after the bombings.

	Councillor Bob Piper
		I met Richard McIlkenny in the early 1990's and you could not wish to meet a quieter, nicer, more humble man anywhere.
		The notion that he was a member of a gang of terrorists who had blown up two pubs full of innocent people was instantly ridiculous, and the people who tortured and terrorised a confession out of him, and the prison officers who brutalised him over the years, must have known that.
		Richard died aged 73 at the weekend, but the British state turned 16 years of his life into a nightmare.

		Gerry Hunter came to England in 1963, and married a local girl, Sandra, in 1966; Dick McIlkenny arrived in the country in 1956, Paddy Hill in 1960, William Power in 1963, and John Walker, who came from Derry and had attended the same school as John Hume in 1952, the much-respected SDLP MP.
		In McIlkenny's case, this was out of respect for McDade's parents, whom he had known well in Belfast.
		Since there was by now absolutely no dispute that Hill, Hunter, McIlkenny, Walker, Power and Callaghan had been brutally attacked inside prison, one explanation of these seemingly perverse verdicts could be that the jury appreciated that those on trial were not solely responsible for the harm done to the six men.

		I hate to tell you my friend, that Richard had a terrible existence after he was released from prison.
		Myself and Paddy Hill attended this sad occassion, and it has made everyone at MOJO even more determined to raise the neccessary funds to build a Retreat to help counsel and prepare innocent men and women after they are released.
		I can't say hand on heart that Richard would have lived longer, but what I would say his quality of life would have been far greater if he had been given the help.
