Juggling With EggsListening to Radio 4 in the car yesterday evening talking about the anniversary of the #GoodFridayAgreement, I had to explain to my kids there was also a woman called #MoMowlam who was instrumental in getting the men to sit around the table…because she didn’t get a mention. And she was not alone in being a woman bringing men together to find common ground - there were many.

Do you remember Blair's face when she got a standing ovation during his conference speech?
Mo did amazing things.

@Xanthippe I have spoken to someone who once worked with Mo and the way her face lit up when describing her was just incredible…she was an amazing women, who played a huge part in creating a lasting peace when most people wouldn’t have dared hope for that at the time. She won’t be forgotten.
ArdentArchivistI was overseas at the time, but even from abroad I knew about Mo. When I came back to NI years later, I was profoundly impressed by the genuine, cross-community warmth, respect, and appreciation that was expressed every time her name was mentioned.
This ignorance isn’t from NI, it’s coming purely from the GB side of things.
We built a Memorial Park in her name at Stormont; personally I think we should put up a statue of her, right outside the big white house.
