One day in 1971, Dolours approached a local IRA commander and said, “I want to join.” The formal induction took place in the front room of the Price home on Slievegallion Drive. Someone said, casually, “Hey, come in here a minute,” and Dolours went in and raised her right hand and recited a declaration of allegiance: “I, Dolours Price, promise that I will promote the objectives of the IRA to the best of my knowledge and ability.”
