'''Máiread Corrigan''' (born [[27 January]], [[1944]]), also known as '''Máiread Corrigan-Maguire''', was the co-founder, with [[Betty Williams (Nobel laureate)|Betty Williams]], of the '''Community of Peace People''', an organization which attempts to encourage a peaceful resolution of [[the Troubles]] in [[Northern Ireland]]. The two women were co-recipients of the [[Nobel Peace Prize]].
==Biography==
Corrigan was born into a [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] family in [[Belfast]], the second child of seven. She attended Catholic schools until the age of 14, then found a job as a secretary.
Corrigan became active with the peace movement after three children of her sister, Anne Maguire, were run over and killed by a car driven by Danny Lennon, an [[Provisional Irish Republican Army]] (PIRA) man who was fatally shot by [[British Army|British troops]] while trying to make a getaway. Anne Maguire later committed suicide.
Betty Williams, had witnessed the event, and soon after the two co-founded '''Women for Peace''', which later became the '''Community for Peace People'''.
By the end of the month Williams and Corrigan brought 35,000 people onto the streets of Belfast petitioning for peace between the [[Irish republicanism|republican]] and [[Ulster loyalism|loyalist]] factions. She believed the most effective way to end the violence was not violence but re-education.
[[
However, the venture ultimately petered out due to in large part to objections from Catholics that the Peace People were focusing entirely on Republican violence and ignoring Loyalist and state violence by the British security forces.{{Fact|date=June 2007}}
She received the Nobel Peace Prize, along with Betty Williams, in 1977 (the prize for 1976) for their efforts.
In 1981 she married Jackie Maguire, who was the widower of her late sister, Anne. She has three stepchildren and two of her own, John and Luke.
In 1990 Corrigan was awarded the [[Pacem in Terris Award]]. It was named after a 1963 [[encyclical]] letter by [[Pope]] [[Pope John XXIII|John XXIII]] that calls upon all people of good will to secure peace among all nations. [[Pacem in Terris]] is [[Latin]] for 'Peace on Earth.'
She is member of the Honorary board of the [[International Coalition for the Decade]] of the culture of Peace and Nonviolence.
In 2006, Corrigan was one of the founders of The Nobel Women's Initiative along with sister Nobel Peace Laureates [[Betty Williams]], [[Shirin Ebadi]], [[Wangari Maathai]], [[Jody Williams]] and [[Rigoberta Menchu Tum]]. Six women representing [[North America]] and [[South America]], [[Europe]], the [[Middle East]] and [[Africa]] decided to bring together their experiences in a united effort for peace with justice and equality. It is the goal of the Nobel Women's Initiative to help strengthen work being done in support of women's rights around the world.<ref>[http://www.nobelwomensinitiative.org] Nobel Women's Initiative </ref>
In 2004 she went to [[Israel]] and welcomed [[Mordechai Vanunu]] upon his release from prison, where he had served an 18-year prison sentence for disclosing Israel's [[Israel and nuclear weapons|nuclear secrets]].
She is a member of the [[pro-life]] group ''[[Consistent Life Ethic]]'', which is against [[abortion]], [[capital punishment]] and [[euthanasia]].
In April 2007, while participating in a protest against the construction of the [[Israeli West Bank barrier|West Bank barrier]] outside the Palestinian village of [[Bil'in]], Israeli security forces intervened and Ms. Corrigan was hit by a [[Rubber bullet|rubber-coated steel bullet]] and inhaled [[Riot control agent|tear gas]], requiring medical attention.<ref>[http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3390314,00.html 2007 hit by a rubber bullet and inhaled tear gas (Israeli report)]
