Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Amazing! There must be very little crime in Dublin City centre. I say this because I noticed 5 Special Branch men watching the peaceful commemoration of the Hungerstrikers.
I dont support the politics of RSF or the actions of the CIRA but the CIRA and RIRA prisoners are arrested by Special police under Special laws and tried under other Special laws in Special courts, Therefore they are entitled to Special Status, to Political Status.
I campaigned for the H block Men & Armagh Women, I would be a hypocrite if I didnt support POW status for the CIRA & RIRA prisoners.
I was there and i counted 7 branchmen
