Theobald Wolfe Tone Commemoration, 14th June 2015, 2.30pm.

Hi!

"From my earliest youth I have regarded the connection between Great Britain and Ireland as the curse of the Irish nation, and felt convinced that, while it lasted, this country could never be free nor happy . My mind has been confirmed in this opinion by the experience of every succeeding year, and the conclusions which I have drawn from every fact before my eyes. In consequence, I was determined to employ all the powers which my individual efforts could move, in order to separate the two countries. That Ireland was not able of herself to throw off the yoke, I knew ; I therefore sought for aid wherever it was to be found. In honourable poverty I rejected offers which, to a man in my circumstances, might be considered highly advantageous. I remained faithful to what I thought the cause of my country, and sought in the French Republic an ally to rescue three millions of my countrymen " -Theobald Wolfe Tone .

Tone's republican colleagues will commemorate him in Bodenstown Churchyard at 2.30pm, on Sunday, 14th June 2015. All genuine republicans welcome!

Thanks for reading,
Sharon.
