Remember the Hunger Strikers - Tallaght

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | event notice author Monday November 24, 2008 14:41author by éirígí PROauthor email press at eirigi dot org Report this post to the editors

Public Meeting & Discussion

The recent release of Steve McQueen’s critically acclaimed movie Hunger has led to a renewed interest in both the 1981 Hunger Strike and the broader prison struggle of the 1970s and 1980s.

This is the context within which éirígí has organised a series of 1981 Hunger Strike- themed public meetings which will take place during the month of November.

Kilinarden Community Centre in Tallaght, Dublin will host one such event on Wednesday (November 26).

The main speakers will be:

Bernard Fox from Belfast who took part in both the ‘blanket’ and ‘no-wash’ protests before joining the 1981 Hunger Strike. Bernard remained on Hunger Strike for 32 days before premature medical complications caused his protest to be ended.

Jake Mac Siacais from Belfast who took part in both the ‘blanket’ and ‘no-wash’ protests. As a former cellmate and close friend of Bobby Sands, Jake had a unique insight into not only the 1981 Hunger Strike but also the period before and following.

The details are:

Tallaght, Dublin,
8pm, Wednesday, November 26
