It also ignores the fact that two other eye witnesses have always denied that Risin could have been 'Beth', the woman they saw.

Equally important, no investigation has been carried out into Rósin's alibi.

The reality is that there are a gaggle of witnesses who have signed statements which confirm that far from being in Germany at the time of the bombing, Róisin was at work in Dunganon.

None of these and many more points in Róisin's favour can be raised in court - the extradition Support for Róisin from Birmingham campaigners who picketed in Victoria Square on September 30 proceedings do not consider evi. dence.

Jack Straw won't look at them either, if the case ever gets to him, and may well be more concerned with not upsetting the German government.

How much can it take to secure the release of an innocent young women against whom there is no evidence?

A lot if she's Irish - and perhaps more if she's the daughter of Bernadette McAliskey. The campaign must be stepped up as many notches as it takes.
