Abbotts Cross, Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland, November 1958 [cite book | last = O'Hearn | first = Denis | authorlink = | title = Bobby Sands: Nothing but an Unfinished Song | publisher = Pluto Books | date = 2006 | pages = p. 3 | doi = | isbn = 0-7453-2572-6] ) is an Irish republican, and a former leading member of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement. She lived in the mainly Loyalist Rathcoole area of Newtownabbey before her family were forced out of their home to live in the mainly Republican West Belfast. She is the younger sister of Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) hunger striker Bobby Sands. She was unable to attend her brother Bobby Sands' funeral because she was on the run at the time. Her husband, Michael McKevitt, was the Quartermaster General of the IRA and later a founding member of the Real IRA, an anti-Good Friday Agreement splinter group. Bernadette and McKevitt have three children and live in Dundalk, Co. Louth. [Village.IE.Interview with Bernadette Sands 1 February 1998, retrieved 1 October 2008]
