Material in this file relates to case involving Máirín de Búrca (MdeB), General Secretary of Prisoners' Rights Organisation (as well as Sinn Féin Citizens' Advice Bureau) and charge that she and 5 others interfered with course of justice. They had picketed a jury and handed out flyers ahead of trial involving Karl Crowley, who was deemed "mentally retarded", had already been in prison and had attempted suicide 17 times. Crowley was handed 12-month sentence which it seems Mary Robinson (MR) got overturned. Includes letter of thanks (11/10/197?)
