A View from the Foothills by Chris Mullan

© Joe ÓNéill 2009
Member of Parliament Chris Mullan, who campaigned for years for the release of Irish citizens falsely imprisoned in England for IRA bombings in the early 1970's, spoke in Belfast yesterday at the Out to Lunch Arts Festival series, at the Black Box in Belfast's Cathedral Quarter.

Mullan, a journalist and author, has been Labor MP for Sunderland South since 1987. His book, Error of Judgment: The Truth About the Birmingham Bombings, was an international best seller. The MP was promoting his latest book, A View from the Foothills.

A review of the book by his old friend and colleague, former Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Peter Hain, can be found at the Guardian Review of Books:
