[edit] =Recent changes

This infobox now looks terrible. The green colour is hideous. Infoboxes usually don't use colour, and by your recent changes, you're leaving yourself open to the charge that the infobox is an exercise in blatant politicking and POV.

In addition, including the Irish version of the name is pointless. Most of these people never used the Irish version of the name; indeed, it is debatable whether some of them even knew how to write the Irish form of their name.--Damac 22:59, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

In that case, feel free to change it. I had added the Irish name on request of Derry boi, which seemed fair enough to me. The green thing, I sort of agree with you that it looks bad, I wanted to see what it was like, and thought it would brighten up the article a bit, although being colour blind I'm not entirely sure how it looks. I can see where you're coming from with the POV and politicking claims, although that wasn't what I was going for, it just seemed like a suitable colour for republican prisoners, in the same vein that the Irish republicanism template was green.
