press release
Saturday October 21, 2006 05:39 by Cormac Ryan PRO éirígí
Roughly one house in six in Dublin will have received a copy of the Proclamation from éirígí by the end of 2006. The number of copies of “The Proclamation of the Irish Republic” distributed by éirígí activists has now crossed the 45,000 barrier. The full colour, poster-size copies, of the 1916 Proclamation are being distributed, on a not for profit basis, door to door across the city. The most recent areas to receive copies include the Quarryvale, Ronanstown and Neilstown areas of Clondalkin and the Sheepmore, Parslikstown, Corduff and Whitestown areas of Blanchardstown.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Congratulations to eirigi on this campaign. Back at Easter every group in the country was claiming to be the true inheritors of 1916 but very few of them actually DID anything to mark the anniversary or engage the public. This campaign is going to actually touch 50,000 houses (including mine). In those houses where the posters didn't get thrown straight in the bin they are probably up on the wall and this has I'm sure triggered a whole load of conversations about 1916 and what it was all about, which can only be a good thing.
I've no doubt that the usual collection of critics, cynics, and guttersnipes will have their say on this site and so be it, but they cannot take away from the fact that this campaign has contributed in a very substantial way to the 90th anniversary celebrations.
Well done to eirigi on this.
Contributed to the discussion by highlighting the Governments refusal to acknowledge
the work and determination of Irish women to affect change in the society of 1916.
We commerorated them- we turned our back to the military parade which refused
to recognise our sisters and made a point too....

That was a good day, commerorating Hanna, Constance, Maud, Grace ,,Helena
and all the dead dears. Who gave so much to our country and were so blithely
ignored by the gombeen men who run the legislature that is presently destroying
our country and dividing our communities.
This is great work indeed. It requires no small amount of commitment to achieve this. I'm sure Pearse & Connolly et. al would be bery proud. This initiative is a very important contribution to the goal of making the ideals and as yet unfulfiled goals of 1916 more widely known amongst the people of Dublin. Well done to all concerned.

This was certainly an undertaking to be commended. To plan to deliver such a large amount of proclamations is no mean achievement. It's a sad reflection on the 'powers that be' that it was left to éirígí to take the initiative. Surely every home in Ireland should have received a copy. This would have been a much more fitting way of commemorating the Easter Rising than a military parade. Then again, events in Mayo, Shannon etc. might explain why the government wouldn't want people to analyse the proclamation.
