Veteran peace campaigner Mairead Corrigan Maguire is to continue her mercy mission to Gaza despite the deadly storming of an aid flotilla by Israeli commandos.

The ship carrying the Belfast-born Nobel laureate was heading for the stricken region today.

This morning Ms Maguire’s family were still waiting news of her whereabouts, however, it is known that she is safe.

Meanwhile the MV Rachel Corrie cargo ship, which Ms Maguire is travelling on, was preparing to make another attempt to breach the Israeli blockade.

Another test for Israeli piracy?

1. Wishing her a safe journey

She is a brave woman. Her work on the Peace effort in Ireland was an incredible thing to do.

2. I met her years ago and found her the most level headed person

There was a gentle quality about her, but also steel in her resolve. She is a true hero in the pantheon of activist peacemakers. Nothing passive about her! Good on her!
