A biomedical scientist who called her Portuguese neighbour a "Spanish whore" during a row over a fire alarm was cautioned by police for a hate crime and struck off. No wonder the cops have no time to solve burglaries.

Dublin - Event Notice
Thursday January 01 1970

remember the 1981 hunger strikers

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | event notice author Tuesday February 07, 2006 16:20author by North County Dublin Sinn Fein - Sinn Feinauthor email lynchiered at yahoo dot com Report this post to the editors

North County Dublin Sinn Fein invites you to hear the uncensored story of the 1981 Hunger Strike:

the legacy of the 1981 hunger strikes

Twenty five years ago on 1st March 1981 IRA prisoner Bobby Sands began to refuse food in protest at attempts by Margaret Thatcher and the British government to criminalise the republican struggle. Those involved in the Hunger Strikes of 1980 and 1981 were ordinary men and women who in extraordinary circumstances and with the support of people throughout Ireland defeated this policy.

Before the Hunger Strike was to end in October 1981, ten young Irishmen were to die in defence of the principle that theirs was a political struggle and that like Terence MacSwiney before them, they would not be criminalised. During that momentous year the Irish people elected Bobby Sands MP for Fermanagh/South Tyrone and the people of Cavan/Monaghan elected Kierán Doherty TD.

The legacy of the 1981 Hunger Strikes is still unfolding but the aims for which these young men gave their lives are still being fought for today. The struggle for a republic based on the principles of the 1916 Proclamation continues.

Sinn Féin in North County Dublin invites you to hear the uncensored
story of the 1981 Hunger Strike:

Tuesday 28th February 2006 @ 7.30pm in the Milestone, Balbriggan

Speakers: Former POWs from the H-Blocks and Armagh Womens Prison

The gallant ten are turning in their graves at the likes of you "honouring" them. You are the New Free Staters. You even welcome supporters of the Loyalists who bombed Dublin to march here. It wont be long before you are in Government in the 6 Counties and in the Free State. Will Sean Crow be Minister for Justice?

i thinh it is important we remember our patriot dead. "as long as ireland holds these graves, ireland unfree shall never be at peace". those words still ring true now almost 90 years since the rising and the 25th of the hunger strikers. they died so we may be free, their example should never be forgotten by the irish people.
