Saddest news of the day for me by a long way... an incredibly brave woman, who helped bring peace to Northern Ireland even when battling a brain tumour herself. Had the courage to confront the men of violence face-to-face by visiting them for talks in the notorious Maze Prison. Also a woman of the people, who was unpretentious yet at the same time an incredibly able politician... a rare breed nowadays.
Rest in peace Mo, along with the recently departed Robin Cook, you'll be sorely missed. :cry:
