Seán McManus

Fr. Sean Mc Manus was born in 1944 in County Fermanagh, one of the six counties in Northern Ireland.

In 1972 Church and State exiled him from Britain because he refused to be silent about injustice in Northern Ireland.

In 1974 he founded the American-based Irish National Caucus: “ Thus Mc Manus became Britain’s nemesis in America, the driving force that would eventually erode Britain’s influence within the US government”. (American Policy and Northern Ireland. Professor Joseph E. Thompson).

“No one has done more than Father Mc Manus to keep the U.S. Congress on track regarding justice and peace in Ireland. Indeed, I believe historians will record that no one since John Devoy (1842-1928) has done more to organize

American pressure for justice in Ireland”.

--Former Congressman Ben Gilman (R-NY). Chairman, House International Relations Committee.

Fr. Mc Manus’ Memoirs, My American Struggle for Justice in Northern Ireland has been declared a classic, a masterpiece and a must-read.

It is being called, “The Irish-American Bible”: the authoritative narrative of how Fr. Mc Manus got the U.S. Congress to stand up for justice and peace in Ireland – against all odds and powerful vested interests.
