Press Release
Commemoration in honour of Irish Patriots John O’ Mahony
Fenian Brotherhood Commemoration
You are invited to attend a commemoration in honour of the founder of the Fenian Brotherhood John O’ Mahony, will take place on the 28th May 2006 at 2pm; by his grave in Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin. The commemoration is organised to coincide with the 130th anniversary of the first Fenians Raids on Canada in which several Irish patriots died for the cause of Irish freedom. It will also recall all the members of the Fenian Brotherhood, Irish Republican Brotherhood and Clan na nGael who died in the many actions in Ireland and England in their fight against English Crown Forces. The main speaker of the day will be Tommy Mc Kearney, a former IRA Hunger-striker who will give an oration on the brutal prison conditions that Fenians had to endure under English rule. Several noted Fenian leaders died from the severity of the conditions imposed, while others were murdered in their cells after long incarcerations. Of those who were killed were the famous Edward Duffy, the young Fenian martyr James Cody, William Meagher, Richard J. Stowell ,along with Fenian commanders John Lynch and Brian Dillion from Cork, to mention a few. The commemoration will also remembers Fenians such as Captain Mackey as well as his brother and John Fleming who died trying to blow up London Bridge, along with Stephen O’ Donoghue and Thomas Farrell who died fighting near Tallagh during the Fenian Rising. John O’ Mahony who had taken part in the 1848 Rising along with John Mitchel and James Stephens, was exiled first to France and then to the US. He founded the Fenian Brotherhood in 1860 with the object to freeing Ireland; naming it after the army of the great heroic cycle of Finn mac Cumhaill and the Fianna. He became a Colonel in the 69th Regiment during the American Civil War and during that period expanded the Fenian Brotherhood in the US to over a 100,000 men. With the failure of the Irish Republican Brotherhood to rise in 1865, O’ Mahony helped organise the first Fenian invasion into Canada in an attempt to provoke the English into war with the US. He eventually died the following year in 1897 and his body was returned home to Ireland to be buried in Glasnevin. While the most famous Fenians of the period were the Manchester martyrs, whose song ‘God Save Ireland’ was the Irish national anthem till the writing of Amhran na bhFíann, there was hundreds of other Fenians such as Thomas Clarke, Charles J. Kickham, O’ Donavan Rossa etc who were the inspirational force that kept the Fenian spirit alive for another generation; eventually helpting to inspire the 1916 rising. A booklet of 33 rare Fenian poems/ballads, written by martyrs such as Brian Dillion, Charles J. Kickham and O’ Donavan Rossa is available to purchase as part of the fundraising for the commemoration and can be attained for € 5. Look forward to seeing you there on the day.

I dont think these are unreasonable questions.
The above reply is absolute nonsence. It should be removed. This is more liberal left crap that has an attitude problem with republicans being pro-life. The person above who has posted it knows well all the members of An Craobh Gal Gréine and spent several years in Sinn Féin with numerous members of the society.
An Craobh Gal Gréine is not linked to any group called the Celtic Wolves.
An Craobh Gal Gréine is not linked to any political party.
An Craobh Gal Gréine has no political philosophy other that promoting Irish Nationalism and Culture.
The question about is not who are Craobh Gal Gréine, but why is a Anarchist using the term 'Concerned Republican' when they have attacked the Republican philsophy for the past number of years.
