REPUBLICAN WOMAN PRISONER LANDS LITERARY AWARD
A Republican women prisoner has scooped a top literary
prize from among over twelve thousand students at the
City of Dublin VEC Sports and Cultural Council.
Rose Lynch from Limerick was presented with her
trophy by English literature tutor Margaret Cronin
at a ceremony in the Dochas centre attached to
Mountjoy prison.
The Limerick woman who comes from a well known
Republican family won the literature award for her
study entitled Heroes of Ireland.
Last night the President of Republican Sinn Fein, historian
Seamus O’Suilleabhain from Broadford said that Rose
Lynch had demonstrated her knowledge of Irish history
and her literary flair by landing the SCC award.
The SCC is a unique body in the Irish Vocational Educational
system. Founded in 1935, the City of Dublin VEC’s Sports and
Cultural Council promotes and co-ordinates inter-school sporting and
cultural events for the 12,000 students in the CDVEC’s 22 schools and
colleges, as well as, in the Free State Prison Service.
The aims of the SCC are to educate, organise, promote and encourage
students to develop their abilities through participating in a wide range
of sporting and cultural events. In its own unique way, the SCC meets
the needs of the CDVEC students, young/old, male/female, Irish/non Irish,
by encouraging participation for all. It is a model that works well having
adapted and changed throughout its long history, to meet the ever changing
and diverse needs of students
