In August 1976, the Northern Irish secretary Mairead Corrigan's sister lost three children in a shooting incident in Belfast. She was promptly contacted by a witness, Betty Williams, and they agreed to found a peace organization to bring an end to the bitter conflict between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland.
Mairead Maguire, at that time still Mairead Corrigan, having heard about her efforts, asked Betty to attend her nephews’ funeral.
