Indeed Should Gilmore, Lynch and Rabbbitte be questioned about the crimes committed by the Official IRA> I'm not suggesting that they were members of the OIRA, I have no evidence of that.

One thing is certain: Gilmore, Lynch and Rabbitte could not have been unaware of the activities of the OIRA. When they were members of OSF/SFWP/WP the party paper The United Irishman carried War News of the OIRAs actions. read full story / add a comment

This means it accepts the validity of the imperialist domination of the island of Ireland.

Hopefully you have seen invitation already but if not you are very, very warmly invited to a gathering called ‘Protecting Place’ which will take place on May 17th in Inver, Co. Mayo.

Please spread the word about this event if you can. If you can invite people who might not hear about it online or by email that would be fantastic. If you can put up poster or two where you live that would be brilliant too.

Full programme is nearly ready, with more details about travel and accommodation read full story / add a comment
