Promoting the politics of the Rising Former hunger-striker and radical trade union organiser Tommy McKearney is to be the guest speaker at éirígí's third annual James Connolly Commemoration on May 10. éirígí chairperson Brian Leeson, who will also be speaking at next month's Arbour Hill gathering, said McKearney would be a worthy predecessor to last year's speaker, Bernadette Devlin-McAliskey: |

Clarify,
Where has anybody ever suggested that either Bernadette or Tommy are members of éirígí?
If you actually read the text above you will see that no such claim is made. Tommy's profile includes his role in the prison struggle and his role in the IWU. How that can be taken as an implication of membershio of éirígi is beyond me.
Bernadette McAlsikey's attendance at last years commemoration was also as a guest speaker as was Bernard Foxes at their Thomas Ashe commemoration in Sept 2007.
If you take the time to read any of éirígí statements it is abundantly clear when people are speaking as members or as supporters or as guests.
"Tommy McKearney is to be the GUEST speaker...."
That's from the first sentence of the press release. Is that clarity enough Clarity? Methinks you are probably someone who needs things clarified for you quite often
Sorry. I was distracted by all that clarifying.
Meant to say congratulations to éirígí on organising what should be a good comemmoration

Took a stroll along to Arbor Hill yesterday afternoon and thought this was a fitting commemoration of the great man.
McEarney's speech was very good I thought. Thankfully the rain stayed away, it looked like it was gonna lash down.
Anyway, just wanted to say well done eirigi & guests.
Eirigi speech was very good,Tommys was spot on and excellent (Maybe someone could post???), well done to all concerned.
Speeches are on youtube
