Rosemary Nelson Remembered
The commemoration, held on International Women’s Day, saw up to 60 people – some of whom travelled from Portadown’s Garvaghy Road – remember Rosemary and her work.
Eileen Clancy, one of many observers who travelled from the United States at the height of the marching season and witnessed how the then RUC abused Rosemary spoke at the ceremony.
Clancy described Rosemary as a brave and courageous woman who inspired those around her.
Other speakers included Patricia McKeown of the Trade Union Unison and Clara Reilly of Relatives for Justice.
