Gerard Sands

What ever happened to Gerard Sands, the son of Bobby Sands the IRA Hunger Striker who died in the Maze?

What ever became of him. Did he just grow up and live a quiet life? He's pictured here at seven years of age at his Dad's funeral.

Has anyone in Northern Ireland ever interviewed him, or written about him? Just curious as a person who reads a lot about the struggles. Google turns up nothing.

Links four and five on the Google search "bobby sands" son suggest he is now a chef here, though that site doesn't reference him.

I should also have asked: Do you think his anonymity is for safety reasons, or more personal just-how-it-is reasons?
