Easter message from the Irish Republican political prisoners at Maghaberry Gaol, Co. Antrim.<br />
POW EASTER MESSAGE 2004<br />
<br />
“This Easter we take the opportunity to send greetings to all our <br />
supporters, comrades and friends on the outside. Especially to <br />
(*prisoners’ welfare and political pressure groups in Ireland and <br />
England) for the tireless work and steadfast commitment you have shown <br />
in support of the Republican prisoners in Maghaberry, Portlaoise and <br />
English Gaols.<br />
<br />
“We likewise commend our supporters both in America and across Europe <br />
for their selfless activity in the face of continued restrictions <br />
imposed upon their freedom of speech and _expression.<br />
<br />
“We also send our best wishes and fraternal greetings to all our <br />
imprisoned comrades and their loved ones.<br />
<br />
“As Easter is a day set aside by Republicans to honour our Patriot <br />
dead, <br />
we would also like to remember our fallen comrades who gave their lives <br />
in the cause of Irish Freedom. We extend our solidarity to their <br />
families and pay tribute to the dignified manner in which they carry <br />
their loss.<br />
<br />
“Republican prisoners here in Maghaberry Gaol reaffirm our steadfast <br />
commitment to our Republican objectives. We seek the establishment of <br />
an <br />
Irish Republic as outlined in the Proclamation of 1916.<br />
<br />
“More and more people understand and embrace the Republican analysis. <br />
Their raised voices and demands for the reunification of Ireland grows <br />
stronger by the day. As Irish Republicans we believe that the unity of <br />
our country and its people is the only way to secure justice and to <br />
cherish all the children of the nation equally.<br />
<br />
“We, the Republican prisoners, have borne witness not to the defeat of <br />
Republicanism, but to the rise of a rejuvenated movement across the <br />
island of Ireland. We remain fully confident of our eventual victory. <br />
<br />
“The lies and distortions of the media, the press and politicians alike <br />
have not been sufficient to hide the grim reality behind the facade of <br />
peace in Ireland. The flawed analysis of those who proclaimed the <br />
Stormont agreement as a stepping stone to Irish unity has been <br />
comprehensively disproved. The Crown force occupation of the North <br />
continues. In Derry, Fermanagh, Armagh, Down, Antrim and Tyrone there <br />
are still large numbers of British occupation forces terrorizing the <br />
local Republican and Nationalist people and their communities.<br />
<br />
“While this continues there will always be Republican resistance to <br />
this <br />
occupation. In the words of Francis Hughes; ‘We have no prouder boast <br />
than to say we are Irish and have been privileged to fight for the <br />
Irish <br />
people and for Ireland. We have a duty to perform to the full in the <br />
unshakeable belief that we are a noble race and that chains and bonds <br />
have no part in us. There is no white flag and there will be no <br />
surrender’.<br />
<br />
‘Victory to the All-Ireland Republic’<br />
An phoblacht Abú”.<br />

FIRSCA Easter Message<br />
<br />
Comrades and friends:<br />
<br />
The members of the Federation of Irish Republican Socialist Committees <br />
Abroad send greetings of solidarity to the comrades of the Irish Republican <br />
Socialist Party, the volunteers of the Irish National Liberation Army, and <br />
the prisoners of war of the Irish Republican Socialist Movement.<br />
<br />
At Easter we are mindful of the martyrs who have fallen in pursuit of <br />
national liberation and socialism in Ireland, and so we cannot avoid <br />
sadness in reflecting on the loss suffered by our struggle through their <br />
deaths and the sorrow of their comrades, families, friends, and loved ones. <br />
However, we choose not to dwell on this loss, but instead to take renewed <br />
inspiration from their example.<br />
<br />
These are exciting times to be an Irish Republican Socialist. Our movement <br />
has grown in size, strength, and influence. This growth is reflected in the <br />
expanded support for the IRSM internationally, with new chapters <br />
established in North America and Europe and new supporters continuously <br />
being gathered in Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. <br />
It has also been reflected in the IRSP’s participation in the <br />
Anti-Imperialist Summer Camp, a republican socialist event in Wales, <br />
African Liberation Day events, and the Black Cross political prisoners <br />
conference in the United States last year; as well as providing a speaker <br />
at an event associated with the recent conference of the Scottish Socialist <br />
Party just last month. It has also been reflected in the IRSP’s increased <br />
participation in events opposing the use of Shannon airport by US military <br />
aircraft, the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, and through the expanding <br />
of international relations with revolutionary socialist and <br />
anti-imperialist organisations throughout the world.<br />
<br />
We applaud the IRSP’s preparation for a series of new and vigorous <br />
campaigns that will provide a model for revolutionary struggle for the <br />
whole of the Irish working class. We are proud that the IRSP has reasserted <br />
its commitment to a revolutionary course and rejected the siren song of <br />
reformism that has caused the downfall of so many revolutionary <br />
organisations in Ireland in the past. The members of FIRSCA, your comrades <br />
abroad, renew our own commitment to supporting the IRSP in upholding a <br />
revolutionary tradition in its struggle for national liberation and <br />
socialism in Ireland.<br />
<br />
Nothing less than a 32-county Irish workers’ republic will serve as a <br />
fitting tribute to the sacrifice of our movement’s martyrs and to all those <br />
who have died, suffered incarceration, and endured repression and abuse in <br />
pursuit of the self-liberation of the working people of Ireland. It is our <br />
pledge to continue our own efforts to make attaining this goal a reality.<br />
<br />
It is the working class that has plowed the soil, built the cities, dug the <br />
mines, erected the factories, laid the roads, navigated the seasin short, <br />
created all of the wealth of society today. It is we, the working class, <br />
who enable every wheel to turn, every obstacle to be surmounted, every <br />
advance to be made. It is long past due, that we should claim for our own <br />
these things we ourselves have created. It is long past time that we should <br />
be the authors of our own destiny.<br />

<br />
No, they weren't. Connolly died for his country and his class. The other three were slain in infighting connected to gangland, racketeering and drugs (at least Costello and Gallagher were-I have no idea who Power was). We're all aware that the INLA/IRSP long ago stopped even purporting to be anything other than just another criminal gang. Connolly, Costello, Power and Gallagher? As well say Connolly, Felloni, Gilligan, Ward. <br />
<br />
And the IRSP were invited to speak at an SSP-related event? Does anyone have any extra info on this- links, articles etc?Wrong about Costellohttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/64265#comment688272004-04-13T00:26:57+00:00P O'DJimbox, you are seriously wrong about Costello.

He was assassinated by the 'Official IRA' by the armed wing of 'Sinn Fein the Workers' Party', which became 'The Workers' Party'. It was straightforward political rivalry. <br />
That happened in 1978, long before the deterioration of the INLA. If Costello had survived the history of the IRSP and INLA would probably have been much different.<br />
I don't know anything about Gallagher and Power, but you are definitely wrong about Costello.<br />
<br />
The 'Workers' Party eventually divided up into 'Democratic Left' and the 'Workers' Party'. 'Democratic Left' eventually became part of the Labour Party. So it is fair to say that there are people in the present Labour Party with blood on their hands.IRSM Easter 1916 Commemorationhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/64265#comment689052004-04-13T01:17:05+00:00IRSMirsp at hotmail dot comImages available<br />

<br />
The SSP is a multi-platfrom party which means different tendencies in the party can organise as long as they accept certain rules of democratic behaviour agreed by all the platforms. The majority of SSP members are not members of any platform. The largest platform is the International Socialist Movement, made up mainly of former members of Militant who broke with the CWI, The other main platforms are the CWI, SWP and Republican Communist Network. <br />
<br />
The SRSM has long standing links with the IRSP and regards the question of the North as one of national liberation. It is a very small force within the SSP, having no more then a handful of members, but they are well regarded for their part in building the SSP.<br />
<br />
Three motions on Ireland were proposed at the SSP conference reflecting the positions of the CWI (linked to the SP in Irealnd), RCN and SRSM platforms. All three were defeated, perhaps reflecting the inadeqacies of the motions.<br />
<br />
The only other 'Irish connection' was that a speaker from the Irish Socialist Network, a small Dublin based group, spoke on the Bin Tax struggle at a fringe meeting organised by the ISM, the main platform in the SSP.Easter 2004http://www.indymedia.ie/article/64265#comment689662004-04-13T23:02:11+00:00Derry IRSPirsp at irsm dot orgComrades,

Jimbox must be the one on drugs, as no part of the IRSM has "purported to be a criminal gang."<br />
<br />
If Scum Watcher believes members of the IRSM are selling drugs, perhaps he should contact the IRSP leadership, which is on record that it will investigate such claims and take action against any members engaged in such things. Put up or shut up, Scum Watcher!
