Seamus Heaney wasn t an ideologue for any cause, so co-opting him into Northern Ireland centenary celebrations was always going to be a problem

Colum Eastwood, of the SDLP, chipped in early with a quote on Twitter from Heaney’s line about his passport being green, no toast in his family ever having been raised to the Queen. Heaney wrote those lines in mockery of his inclusion in the 1982 Penguin Book of British Poetry. Britain too often claims the Irish as their own when they are doing well. And in line with that disinclination to take royal honours though the offer must have been considered he did not get a CBE, like his friend Michael Longley. His friends now call him “Commander Longley”. There was immediate umbrage on Twitter after Eastwood’s comment. It was seen as ungracious and raking up the past.

Ex-IRA man Danny Morrison: how I settled differences with Seamus Heaney

A former republican prisoner has recalled how he and poet Seamus Heaney reconciled with a handshake and a hug - after he previously requested he should write more about those imprisoned during the Troubles. The reflection by Danny Morrison - previously the communications director for Sinn Fein - comes in response to Irish writer Susan McKay criticising his interpretation of Heaney s 1984 collection of poems entitled Station Island - a series of works exploring the poet s relationship with the Troubles. The debate is in the wake of the row over Seamus Heaney s image being included in the UK Government s Northern Ireland centenary campaign.
