Summary Roseleen Walsh was born in 1950 into a Belfast, republican family and she joined Cumann na mBan as a young woman. Walsh was interned in Armagh Prison in 1973 for just over a year, where she was afforded certain 'freedoms' as internees had political status at that time. Here, her writing flourished and she covered her white cell walls with poetry. Even though it was forbidden to write on cell walls, her officers never painted over it and would often come in to read her work. Walsh was actively involved with Sinn Féin in the lead up to the Peace Process, which she fully supported. She lives with her family in Belfast and has written 35 plays, 33 of which have been produced.
