All these Shinners lining up to pay tribute to Francie Brolly. It’s such a pity that they couldn’t show the same respect when republicans like Francie asked for freedom of conscience on the issue of abortion. They happily forced people like him out of the party. https://t.co/vbNy97TfDJ

Disagreed with Francie Brolly a thousand times. But we sat close in Fr. McLinchey’s class, played music together, on a personal level always got on. He wrote the best rebel song of the Troubles. I’m not aware of him ever saying a bitter personal word. Condolences to Anne and Joe.
