Journeys of healing start with one step and we never know where they will go.

I decided 2 days after the bomb to go on a journey of understanding and healing and to bring something positive out of it. very early but I was already spiritual and believed in non violence. Of course the actual steps took much longer.

Oh that is a big question! Right now in Belfast there are so many volatile emotions around, difficult time. I think that when they orchestrated the peace process they needed to work out how to address the past. Without something in place it is very very hard. Without Gerry Adams we would not have the peace we have now. And I know victims want justice. I feel for the sake of peace we have to move on.

Thanks, I missed that! tell me more?

He was released as part of the Peace Process and I welcomed that because it meant people would stop being killed. I think the best thing is that now he knows he killed a human being, a wonderful human being. Before he met me he did not see human beings in the hotel. He knows he was guilty of demonising the 'other'. This means more to me than prison.
