category national | history and heritage | news report author Saturday May 12, 2007 23:33author by Paula Geraghtyauthor email mspgeraghty at yahoo dot ie Report this post to the editors

Veteran Socialist, Republican and Civil Rights campaigner, Bernadette McAliskey, addressed the assembled crowd of republicans, socialists, and various permutations thereof.

Brian Leeson spoke how there had been a mere seven people at the previous Éirigí commemoration and how their numbers had incrementally increased on the previous year.

Bernadette McAliskey, gave encouragement to the people present, although she wasn't speaking on behalf of Éirigí. She spoke of being older, the virtues of not being wiser and reflected on what socialism means especially for Republicans. A man in the crowd, (not the one pictured below), presented her with a bouquet of flowers. She expressed a hope that more women would be involved.
