Remembering 1981: Four men dead as crisis escalates
• Raymond McCreesh and Patsy O Hara
Thursday, 21 May 1981, witnessed the deaths of two more Hunger Strikers. Raymond McCreesh passed away at 2.30am. Later that evening Patsy O’Hara died.
A Mass had been celebrated at Raymond McCreesh’s bedside on Wednesday evening by his brother Fr Brian McCreesh. He was semi-conscious and appeared to show some sign of recognition but died just a few hours later. His remains were returned to his beloved Camlough in South Armagh for the funeral the following Saturday.
Leaving the family home in St Malachy’s Terrace, the cortege stopped briefly at the lane outside the house where it was joined by a honour guard of IRA Volunteers, Cumann na mBan and Na Fianna Éireann. Led by a lone piper, the cortege paused to allow Raymond McCreesh’s comrades fire a final salute over the Tricolour-draped coffin.

In his final piece of online analysis, former RTÉ News Northern Editor, Tommie Gorman, looks back on the career of outgoing First Minister, Arlene Foster, and asks what next for power sharing in Northern Ireland.
For much of her five and a half years as DUP leader, Arlene Foster has been waiting for the sky to fall.
When the end came, as so happens in politics, it was brutal.
A number of times in a past life she was one of the very few who sat up late with the then leader, Peter Robinson. One more heave was brewing in the DUP civil war between those who yearn for the past and those who worry about the future.
