Her mother was a leading member of the civil rights movement and was centrally involved in the campaign against discrimination in the allocation of council housing in the six counties - a campaign which sparked the origins of the Civil Rights movement.

On her return in 1996 she stood for Sinn F�in in the Forum elections for Fermanagh/South Tyrone.

While in London she was part of the first Sinn F�in delegation to Downing Street in December 1997.
