She had just gotten out of the bath when eight people burst into her apartment and tried to force her to go with them. The children went berserk, and the intruders tried to calm them down. #2 One night, Jean McConville was kidnapped from her home in Divis Flats by the IRA. Her children, who were still there, watched as she was taken away. #3 When Dolours was a little girl, her family were extremely committed to the republican cause. Her father, Albert, was an upholsterer who made the chairs that occupied the cramped front room. He would tell his children stories about the bravery of long-dead patriots. #4 The Price family, like many in Northern Ireland, had a tendency to talk about calamities from the past as though they had just happened last week. The Easter Rising of 1916, in which a clutch of Irish revolutionaries seized the post office in Dublin and declared the establishment of a free and independent Irish Republic, was a source of pride for the family.
