A chara, - With the recent controversy over the prisoners' release programme, the Committee of the National Graves' Association believe we can assure the Government that the prisoners we seek to have released will not offend or create any controversy.The prisoners to whom we refer are known as the Forgotten Ten. They are Kevin Barry, Bernard Ryan, Thomas Whelan, Patrick Moran, Thomas Bryan, Patrick Doyle, Frank Flood, Thomas Traynor, Edward Foley and Patrick Maher. Their remains lie in the prison yard of Mountjoy, for the last 77 years.For over 50 years, the Association has been fighting a campaign to have these volunteers re-interred in a proper burial ground. A fine memorial erected by the National Graves' Association and unveiled by the brothers of executed volunteers (Frank Flood and Bernard Ryan) stands proud in the association's plot in Glasnevin.The obstacle of a member of one family having a veto over the other nine has been shown as flawed by a document issued by the relevant department, stating that no person owns a corpse or human remains and that legally no permission is required.We would like to be given a reason as to why, after 77 years, the remains of these brave volunteers have not been released? - Is mise, Matt Doyle,Secretary, National Graves' Association,Dame Street,Dublin 2.
