On 9 July 2007 Senan Hogan of the Irish Independent reported “Guildford and Birmingham justice victims for film festival”

She said victims of miscarriages of justice will gather to speak at the Galway Film Fleadh this week. A debate entitled 'Is There Life After Life' will be addressed by Gerry Conlon of the Guildford Four and Paddy Hill of the Birmingham Six. The event in Galway's Town Hall theatre on Wednesday is organised by the Miscarriages of Justice Organisation.

"The debate will discuss the problems faced by people after being released from prison after serving life sentences," said a spokesperson.

Screenwriter Terry George, who wrote the script for 'In the Name of the Father' based on Mr Conlon and his father, Giuseppe, will also be honoured at the Fleadh. Mr Conlon was wrongly convicted in 1975 along with three others for the IRA's Guildford pub bombings which killed five people.

The 19th annual Fleadh takes place from July 10-15.
