In the latest episode of the BBCRedLines podcast, Bernadette McAliskey says it is too late for QUBelfast to apologise for her expulsion
Bernadette McAliskey has said it is "too late" for Queen's University to apologise for preventing her from finishing her degree.
She later became the then youngest woman to be elected to Westminster when she won the Mid Ulster by-election as a unity candidate in 1969. But her political activity, according to Ms McAliskey, led to her being banned from completing her degree at Queen's University."By the spring of 1969 I had been refused permission to sit my exams even though my lecturers and head of department said I could pass them," she said.
In 1972 she hit the then Conservative Home Secretary Reginald Maudling in the commons chamber in the aftermath of Bloody Sunday."I was actually going to lift the mace and throw it on the floor and I thought better of that.
