Was very interesting how the IRA wanted to stagger the strikes and involve members of other Republican groups so that the IRA members would be involved for longer.
I think they feared that if IRA men went first and were to pass away, the remaining Republican hunger strikers may not be IRA men so could potentially end the strike early.
