1st November 2015 - 15th November 2015.
Frank Driver, Kevin Barry, James Daly and the Edentubber Martyrs : commemorations, November 2015.
RSF commemorations from the 1st to the 15th November 2015. Hi!
'In County Kildare - hardly ground zero of the Republican Movement - since the 1930's, Frank Driver had been a well known Sinn Féin figure in Ballymore Eustace. The locals knew him as slightly eccentric, the Kildare Gardaí knew him as one of their few republican subversives and the Special Branch in Dublin had him on their list. In his long coat and black beret, he collected money, appeared at commemorations, made his views known, lent a fiver, carried messages...he had money of his own that went to the movement, as did his life...his contacts, his friends and his services made possible, after 1970, an extensive net that absorbed, stored and distributed most of the imported IRA arms...' (from here - https://books.google.ie/books?id=IRqWjIVE_QUC&pg=PA113&...false.)
FRANK DRIVER COMMEMORATION : Sunday 1st November 2015, Ballymore Eustace, County Kildare. Those attending are asked to assemble at 1pm at the church from where a parade will be held to his grave.
"Kevin Barry was executed on November 1st 1920 in Mountjoy jail in Dublin by the English invaders of our country. He was the first Irish republican to be executed by the British since 1916, and was captured while on active service outside the entrance of Monk's bakery in Dublin. Although he was born in Dublin he spent much of his life at the family home in Tombeigh, Hackettstown, in Carlow. Both sides of his family, the Barry's and the Dowling's, came from the area and some of his ancestors had fought in 1798. His was a strong republican family. At the time of his death his eldest brother Mick was O/C of the volunteers in Tombeigh and his sister Sheila was in Cumann na mBan.." (from here - http://rsf-kildare.blogspot.ie/2010/11/kevin-barry-90th....html) KEVIN BARRY COMMEMORATION : Sunday 1st November 2015, Rathvilley, County Carlow. Those attending are asked to assemble at 3pm in the village.
'James Daly had claimed to be the leader of the mutinous soldiers at Solon and while this was undoubtedly true, he had not in fact instigated the protest. This had begun two hundred miles away at Wellington Barracks, Jullundur, in the Punjab, on Sunday 27th June 1920. That night, a small group of Rangers (among them Daly's brother) had been discussing the appalling state of affairs at home and they had decided to make a protest against British military atrocities in Ireland: they would 'ground arms' and refuse to soldier...' (from here - http://www.historyireland.com/20th-century-contemporary...1920/) JAMES DALY COMMEMORATION : Sunday 8th November 2015, Tyrellspass, County Westmeath. Those attending are asked to assemble at 2pm at the hotel on the Green in Tyrellspass from where a parade will leave for the local cemetery.
'Volunteer Paul Smith, Bessbrook, County Armagh, Volunteer George Keegan, County Wexford, Volunteer Paddy Parle, County Wexford, Volunteer Oliver Craven, Newry, County Armagh and Michael Watters, County Louth, who was the owner of the cottage where the tragedy occurred in November 1957...' (more here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPn9WA715jA) EDENTUBBER MARTYRS COMMEMORATION : Sunday 15th November 2015, Edentubber, County Louth. Those attending are asked to assemble at the Border Bar at 2.30pm from where a parade will leave for the Edentubber Martyrs Monument.
Hope some readers are able to make it to one or more of the above.
Thanks!
Sharon.

Thanks!

Shure a little bit of post bumping is harmless - unlike many of RSF's other acts!
Hi 'G Two' !
Thanks for that - back on top of the list again!
