"When I went to jail for you know daring to tell young men what their options were as far as conscription, in other words don't register or you know be a conscientious objector and we were doing that during the registration period which meant you were breaching the law. Sent to jail with four other women, the Fairley Five, bunged in just before Good Friday 1971. Terribly worried about the kids particularly my youngest one Christopher who was at primary school. I shouldn't have worried. When I finally came out of jail after two weeks he came out to me you know very proud and he said oh you know the kids said is that your old woman who was on the news and he was as happy as Larry. So there you go".
