Oisin's Hunger Strike
Oisin McDonnell, six year old son of the SDLP deputy leader, has met his fair share of politicians, despite his youth. His father Alasdair brought him to the Stormont canteen today, but this time jokingly warned Sinn Fein's Raymond McCartney "not to be corrupting his son" when the republican approached to say hello. Oisin met the former IRA blanket man at a recent civil rights event and was rather intrigued to hear about his time on Hunger Strike. A few days later, faced with banishment from his parent's kitchen after breaking a few glasses during a round of footie, Oisin threatened to go on a Hunger Strike of his own for 53 days. His parents probably have little to worry about though based on his fondness for chicken and chips.
