That's a very mean spirited and disrespectful comment. A Memorial Mass is a fitting way to commemorate the ten brave hunger strikers and may give some comfort to their heartbroken families. These ten brave men should be commemorated, they gave their lives for their cause and for the betterment of their friends and others coming after them. They were utterlly selfless and I admire them greatly. <br />

The hunger strike was a appalling tragedy and to think one person, Margaret Thatcher, had it in her power to save these ten men, but was callous enough to believe that it was totally justiifed in her mind to let them suffer and die, rather than grant them political status and basic rights. If there's a Hell, no doubt Thatcher will be residing in it.<br />
