Mothering Sunday for people who lost their sons during The Troubles

That this House notes Mothering Sunday; considers those mothers specifically who lost a child during the Troubles in Northern Ireland; highlights the mothers who bravely stood in the gap and defended their fathers, husbands, sons and brothers in the fields and homes of Ulster and that many women also served in the UDR as greenfinches and some gave their lives; notes the role of motherhood in Northern Ireland as pivotal now and in the future to teach children to understand the identity of Ulster; underlines the loyalty of mothers in Ulster and that generations to come will remember the strength of their ancestors; and sends sympathies to those mothers grieving the loss of a child lost throughout the Troubles and that their legacies will not be forgotten.
