Saturday , May 3rd , 2014 : Hunger-Strike Rally, Dublin.

Republicans to remember and commemorate the sacrifice made by the 22 Irish men who died on hunger strike between the years 1917 and 1981.

On Saturday, 3rd May 2014, RSF will commemorate the 22 Irish republicans who died on hunger strike between 1917 and 1981.

Hi!

Between the years 1917 and 1981 , 22 Irish men died on hunger strike in the fight for Irish Freedom . That same fight continues today , as six Irish counties remain under the jurisdictional control of Westminster , which enforces that control with military occupation . The annual Hunger-Strike Commemoration -organised by the Republican Movement- will be held this year on Saturday , 3rd May , when a picket and rally will be held on the traffic isle facing the GPO in Dublin's O'Connell Street , beginning at 2pm.
All genuine republicans welcome!

Thanks,
Sharon.

Hi!

This rally was held yesterday, as announced, in O'Connell Street, Dublin, from 1.45pm to 3pm. About two dozen activists were present, and the event was Chaired by Josephine Hayden. The Role of Honour of all 22 hunger-strikers was read during the proceedings, and speeches were delivered by Seán Dolan, Fergal Moore and Dermot Douglas. A full report and pics will be carried in the May 2014 issue of the 'Saoirse' republican newspaper (which goes to print on Wednesday 7th of this month) and the blog at the 'Related Link' , below, will also mention the event in the next day or two (as soon as the pics are received!).

Thanks,
Sharon.
