August 8 Marks the day Irish Republican Hungerstriker Thomas McElwee Died on Hungerstrike 25 years ago. We are asking the youth of the world to join with Ógra Shinn Féin in commemorating this brave Irish revolutionary who died the most awful of deaths, to advance the struggle for freedom and socialism. Speaking of the hunger strike and her sons and their comrades during Thomas' strike, Mrs. McElwee said: "I know Thomas and Benedict would be determined to stand up for their rights. In the Blocks one will stand for another. If this hunger strike isn't settled one way or another they'll all go the same way. There'll never be peace in this country." read full story / add a comment

August 2 Marks the day Irish Republican Hungerstriker Kieran Doherty Died on Hungerstrike 25 years ago. We are asking the youth of the world to join with Ógra Shinn Féin in commemorating this brave Irish revolutionary who died the most awful of deaths, to advance the struggle for freedom and socialism. A child, like hundreds of others a product of British brutality and stupidity in the North, who revealed himself to be an outstanding soldier of the republic. Kieran was a shy, reserved, easily-embarrassed young man who was single-minded and determined enough to have become, in himself, a condensed history of the liberation of a people. read full story / add a comment

August 1 Marks the day Irish Republican Hungerstriker Kevin Lynch Died on Hungerstrike 25 years ago. We are asking the youth of the world to join with Ógra Shinn Féin in commemorating this brave Irish revolutionary who died the most awful of deaths, to advance the struggle for freedom and socialism. A well-known and well liked young man in the closely-knit community of his home town, Kevin was remembered chiefly for his outstanding ability as a sportsman, and for qualities of loyalty, determination and a will to win which distinguished him on the sports field and which, in heavier times and circumstances, were his hallmarks as an H-Block blanket man on hunger strike to the death. read full story / add a comment

July 8 Marks the day Irish Republican Hungerstriker Joe McDonnell Died on Hungerstrike 25 years ago.

At 5.11 a.m., on July 8th 1981, Joe McDonnell, who - believeably, for those who know his wife Goretti, his children Bernadette and Joseph and his family - "had too much to live for" died after sixty one days of agonising hunger strike, rather than be criminalised. Na Fianna Eireann activist - Fiann John Dempsey was shot while on active service in Turf Lodge Belfast - on the day of Joe McDonnell's death - we remember him with pride! read full story / add a comment

We are asking the youth of the world to join with Ógra Shinn Féin in commemorating these brave Irish revolutionaries who died the most awful of deaths, to advance the struggle for freedom and socialism. Ray's brother famously said, 'My Brother is not a Criminal!' Writing shortly before the hunger strike began, Patsy O'Hara grimly declared: "We stand for the freedom of the Irish nation so that future generations will enjoy the prosperity they rightly deserve, free from foreign interference, oppression and exploitation. The real criminals are the British imperialists who have thrived on the blood and sweat of generations of Irish men." read full story / add a comment

As of 17 minutes the left in France has started her attack with an occupation of Trade Union offices. This is no game, no mock theatre of young malcontents venting traditional fury. This is the real thing. Tomorrow France mobilises to join the vanaguard, not only against the latest attempt to impose anglo-saxon capitalist labour market adjustments on their rights, but also to break the hegemony of the now failed Chirac regime. 57% of the French polled by Le Monde want the law scrapped. 71% of the French polled by Le Monde believe Chirac has further radicalised discontent by his televised appearances in support of his dauphin Dominque de Villepin. We have all come very far in our local and trans-national struggles, and now it is time to reflect on one thing we have learnt :- read full story / add a comment
