Annual Wolfe Tone Commemoration .

category national | history and heritage | event notice author Saturday May 12, 2007 11:21author by Sharon . - Individual . Report this post to the editors

Bodenstown Sunday 2007 .

The annual Wolfe Tone Commemoration will be held this year on Sunday , June 10th , in Bodenstown Churchyard ,Sallins , Co. Kildare , beginning at 2.30pm .
Bodenstown Sunday , 10th June 2007 .
Bodenstown Sunday , 10th June 2007 .

A bus for this Commemoration , which is organised each year by the Republican Movement *, will leave from outside the old McBirneys/Virgin Megastore site on Dublin's Aston Quay at 12.45PM on the day , and return to Dublin at 5.45PM.
The fare is ten Euro per person .
For information on the death of Wolfe Tone , scroll through this piece ** (article starts on March 9 on that page) which was published on the '1169...' blog last year .
" 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*** .

All Welcome!

Sharon.

But thanks anyway !

He was Theobald Tone, middle name Wolfe. When did we start calling him Wolfe Tone, anyone?

Hi 'Another pedant' !

I have no answer to your question , 'AP' , but you did get me thinking of how fitting the name 'Theobald' was to the man -

Hi !

The annual Wolfe Tone Commemoration was held on Sunday , 10 June last , in Bodenstown , Co. Kildare : a well-organised assembly of between 277 and 477* people formed-up in blazing heat (between 25 and 28 degrees!) in Sallins Village and , as per the instructions issued by Chief Marshall Seosamh Ó Maoileoin , the crowd fell-in behind the Piper (an Antrim man who knew his business!) and the Colour Party , comprising members of Na Fianna Eireann and Cumann na mBan . A second Colour Party , comprising members of the Republican Movement from Dublin , Donegal and Wexford , was also at the front of the Parade .
(*27 of whom were Special Branch ['Security and Intelligence' division] members)
Indeed , such was the heat on the day that the Dublin bus overheated in the traffic-jam on the way into the village , and at least three members of the various Colour Parties came close to passing out , but were 'revived' in time by one of the many water carriers!
The level of Special Branch harassment was not only unbelievable , but was totally uncalled for : one of their number stated that 'his men' had been ordered to obtain the name and address of every single participant at the event - one man , a native Irish speaker , was handcuffed for refusing to give his details in English , and an 84-year-old woman was threatened with arrest for being 'unco-operative' . Three Special Branch cars and their passengers were at the cemetery , three other cars and their passengers stayed in the village and at least three other full Special Branch vehicles were parked on the outskirts of the village . "Agressive" was the word most used to describe their behaviour .
The proceedings in the cemetery were chaired by Tomás Ó Curraoin, Peig Galligan from the National Graves Association reminded the hundreds of people listening of the deeds of Republican women through the years (and today!) , Sean Scott (Brokeborough Raid) was one of those that laid a wreath and the main oration was delivered by Cathleen Knowles McGuirk .
A full report and more photographs will be published in the July issue of 'Saoirse' , which will be published on the fourth of that month .

Go raibh máith agat !

Sharon.

A lot less sunglasses this year - I hope you suffered less of the usual harassment. It seems like yiz had a good day out.

Hi 'Smiley' !

Sunglasses would have protected the eyes : a good few people there had brought umbrellas with them to shade their hands , necks etc from the burning sun , which on occasion reached temperatures near 30 degrees .
Special Branch harassment was heavier this year than on previous Commemoration days - perhaps it was the fact that they were in Kildare rather than on a beach kicking sand on people that made them so aggressive.....

But it was a "good day out" .
Well worth the punishing heat !

Sharon.
