What is the Quilt?
Relatives for Justice Remembering Quilt is a project for people who have lost someone as a result of the conflict in Ireland. The quilt is made up of squares which have been dedicated to individuals who have died as a result of the conflict. These squares are designed and made by family members and friends who wish to remember their loved ones in a creative and positive way. The squares are brought together to form a large quilt which will be a poignant remembrance of the great loss our community has had to bear.
Everybody who has lost a loved one due to the conflict is welcome to participate. It is a positive opportunity for families and loved ones to participate in a country-wide project either from their own homes, or in groups, knowing that people who have been through similar experiences are also contributing to the project across Ireland.
The quilt will be a lasting testimony to the creative dedication of family and friends all over the country who participated in this project.
Who makes the Quilt?
Each square is dedicated to a person who has died. Families get together and discuss how they would like the squares to represent their loved one. They then put these ideas into a 9 inch square, only then does the technical side of putting it together start. Groups of families and friends across the country have come together to design squares and to make them. They have benefited both from the project itself and from getting to know other people who have been through similar experiences.
Many people are isolated, either geographically or in other ways, and are encouraged knowing that they can participate equally in a project involving many hundreds of other people who have been through similar experiences. The project is about everybody participating and people being remembered in a positive and creative way.
How do I get involved?
The first step is to give us a ring or drop us a line. There may be a group of relatives in your area who are already meeting who we can put you in touch with. If not we can come and meet with you and others in your area to start a quilt making group. If you live in a more isolated area we can both come and see you or keep in touch by phone.
But I can't sew!!
No problem! We can help in a number of ways - Advice on using techniques and materials which do not need any sewing; Our tutors can help teach you what you need for your design; There are some relatives who have finished their own squares and who have volunteered to help others by taking their ideas and material and making the square for them, or by assisting them with any tricky pieces.
Is there a deadline?
The first panel of the quilt was launched in 2001, we now have 8 panels the last launched in November 2006 by the South African Ambassador to ireland Ms Priscilla Jana.
Sqaures continue to be made and new panels join all those already made.
We are encouraging every family who feels that a quilt made by Relatives for Justice members would be a positive project in which their loved one will be remembered, to get involved. If you know somebody who wants to get involved but we have not been in touch with them, please encourage them and let us know and we'll help in any way we can.
So go ahead get in touch! Remember we are here for you.

Sean Ruddy
23rd October 1971
Sean Ruddy was 19 years of age from Newry. He was shot dead along with Robert Anderson and Thomas James McLaughlin by British soldiers in Newry, Co. Down, on 24 October 1971.
The three men were shot in a premeditated, pre-planned shoot-to-kill operation by the British Army who secreted themselves on the roof of buildings overlooking the bank. The British Army claimed to have a tip off that the bank was to be bombed.
As the men approached the bank they were shot without warning by the British Army clearly using unreasonable and unnecessary force in the circumstances. Indeed if the British Army and the RUC had a tip off then they should have put into place an effective preventative operation that ensured arrests prior to any possible alleged actions that could have endangered lives, if there were to be a bomb. They totally failed in that regard acting contrary to international law enforcements and Article 2 of the ECHR. And of course there was no bomb. Like many situations where the British army and the RUC took life unnecessarily misinformation and lies were used to both distort the facts and justify the illegal action. Sections of the media, ironically relying on information provided by the British Army, reported this misinformation. Some of the relatives have always maintained that they were not about to rob the bank and have disputed this allegation citing that this was used as further cover up in an attempted to justify the killings when the bogus bomb story was eventually proved false.

An RUC member shot my husband Dominic in the head at close range in May 1981 when he was 14 years old. He suffered damaging head injuries that left him paralysed on the left side. In later years he developed heart problems. Dominic and I met in 1984 and married on 24th June 1989. We had two sons – Nicholas and Gary who like himself were avid Liverpool fans. Even though Dominic had only the use of one arm he developed great skill in playing snooker. Dominic was a funny character and was known by loads of people who would say “he was never without a can of Diet Coke”. Dominic lived a very happy life and was devoted to our two sons and me. However he campaigned against the use of plastic bullets with the help of Relatives for Justice in which he made many friends. Dominic’s own injuries meant he felt very strongly about the use of plastic bullets and he said many times “I would hate another child to be left like me”. Dominic always fought against his injuries and tried to live a normal life, but sadly he died of a massive heart attack on 17th August 2004. He left, me aged 36, Nicholas 13 yrs and Gary 9yrs, behind. We will always be proud of Dominic and have loads of funny and happy memories. I now think to myself ‘ wonder what the RUC man who shot Dominic is doing to-day, and the grief he has caused’. The most annoying thing is that he was never charged with the shooting of Dominic. I would like to thank Relatives for Justice, Clara Pauline, and Marie for the help and support they have given me in the last two years.
