Hi Eghzarw !

'Farrell' is right : uniformed members of Cumann na mBan ( and Na Fianna Eireann) were present in the Colour Party at the RSF Easter Monday Commemoration at the GPO in Dublin - representatives of each organisation marched with RSF on that day from the Garden of Remembrance to the GPO .

Thanks!

Sharon.

myself and my friends were there at the gpo
we got there at just after 12 and were watching the fellas from rsf setting up there platform and all the sound systems and the little stage area
it was great to see them sharing it all with the folklore group and to see the two groups helping each other
we stayed there for about 3 hrs but we got hassled by the cops twice for our names and addresss but that didnt spoil it for us
we had a great time and thought all the speechs from both groups were brilliant
thanks to all of yous

.....Thank You for the favourable comments - much appreciated!

Some of the same RSF members in Dublin were involved in the four commemorations that were held over those three days - they'll be glad to know that their efforts , and that of the overall organisation , is receiving such a positive feedback .

Thanks again !

Sharon.
