Anthony McIntyre, author of 'Good Friday: the death of Irish repubicanism' has been refused permission to travel to the U.S to promote the book.

Mcintyre, a longtime critic of the Adams/McGuinness departure in the provisional republicanism spent 18 years in prison. He has also criticized the futility of the various dissident groups.

New York (PRWEB) August 18, 2008 -- Anthony McIntyre's first book was released this week by Ausubo Press, a New York publisher. But according to its Marketing and Publicity Director, William Cadiz, they had no idea a simple book launch or a book tour in the states was not possible for the Irishman's book Good Friday: The Death of Irish Republicanism. Visa requests have been repeatedly denied according to his wife Carrie Twomey, editor of the e-zine The Blanket. "When I go home (to the United States) I go for a month at a time because the visits are so infrequent." -
