April 17, 1969
On this day in 1968, Bernadette Devlin was elected to Britain’s Parliament on the “Unity” ticket, as MP for the Mid-Ulster constituency. The election followed the death of Ulster Unionist Party Member of Parliament for Mid Ulster, George Forrest, and Devlin found she was running against Forrest’s widow on the Unionist ticket. At 21, Devlin was the youngest woman ever to be elected to Parliament. Raised Roman Catholic in Cookstown, County Tyrone, Devlin became passionately involved in politics while a student at Queen’s University Belfast. She helped to form the Irish Republican Socialist Party along with Seamus Costello in 1974.
Helena Sheehan told
The Irish Echo in a recent interview regarding her book
Navigating the Zeitgeist: A Story of the Cold War, the New Left, Irish Republicanism, and International Communism. The book “opens in cold-war USA and portrays the last days of the the old order in church, state, home and popular culture and then within convent walls. It conveys the social turmoil of the 1960s in universities, in homes, on streets, in the very fabric of everyday life, when I became active in the New Left,” she told the
Echo. Sheehan “felt called to give herself ‘without reserve’ when joining the Sisters of Saint Joseph” until she felt called in a different direction and eventually found herself at the heart of the IRA, getting know everyone from Cathal Goulding to Seamus Costello to Billy McMillen.
