The Devlin legacy that made her 'guilty.' (Roisin McAliskey, suspected of involvement in IRA bombing of military base in Osnabruck, Germany, in Jun 1996)
Article Abstract:
Supporters of Roisin McAliskey, who is suspected of involvement in the IRA bombing of a military base in Osnabruck, Germany, in Jun 1996, believe that she has been singled out for extremely harsh treatment because she is the daughter of former Mid-Ulster MP Bernadette Devlin. She may also have been targeted because she has a daughter by Sean McCotter, who has served a prison sentence for IRA-related activities. The German government is seeking to have her extradited, but lawyers in the UK claim that there is no firm evidence against her.

When marriage turns into a very public humiliation
Article Abstract:
There has been great pressure on Vanessa Davis since her husband Peter was forced to resign as the UK's lottery regulator. She must deal with public humiliation, knowing that her husband acted unwisely in accepting hospitality from GTech. She must also come to terms with the loss of a substantial proportion of her family's income. Christine Hamilton, wife of disgraced former MP Neil Hamilton, has had similar experiences. She advises that Vanessa Davis must remain very strong for her husband.

Why I fought for the right to be female
Article Abstract:
A further education college which dismissed a male employee after he began treatment to become a woman was guilty of unfair dismissal, according to the European Court of Justice. This case may set a precedent for a considerable number of others which are believed to be in preparation. The UK government may now have to amend legislation on this issue, according to the Equal Opportunities Commission.
