RSF in London picket Free State embassy

A PICKET, organised by the Republican Sinn Féin Comhairle Ceantair for England, Scotland and Wales, was placed on the 26-County Embassy in London during January in protest at the arrest and charging of eight members of Republican Sinn Féin who were going about their normal political activity in Limerick in December. On what was one of the coldest day of the winter, more than 20 members and supporters took part and a letter of protest was handed into the Embassy by Jim O’Dwyer, Chairperson of the Comhairle Ceantair.

James Fintan Lalor – George Harrison

“FOUR thousand armed men in the livery and service of England. The question is how to kill, capture or destroy them.

“Mankind will yet be masters of the Earth. The right of the people to make the laws was the first great modern earthquake; the right of the people to own the land will produce the next. Train your hands and your son’s hands, gentlemen of the earth, for you and they will yet have to use them.

“Ireland her own, from the sod to the sky. From the centre to the sea, without rent or render to faith or fealty, except to God alone who gave it. I want to put Ireland in the vanguard of the world and to have her forever the lodestar of history.”— James Fintan Lalor, 1848.

The issues in Lalor’s time have not changed today. I do not know how many thousands of armed people the Empire now maintains in the Irish counties she occupies, the problem facing Irish revolutionaries is the same. The choice is theirs. They continue to be legitimate targets of war for as long as they remain.
-- George Harrison, Patron, Republican Sinn Féin.

PD conference picketed

OVER 3,000 people marched on the PD conference held recently at the South Court in Limerick calling for a second radio licence for the city (RLO). Radio Limerick was refused a licence and is currently operating without a licence, catering for senior citizens talk-in shows.

Republican Sinn Féin support RLO as it does not impose Section 31 on anyone and gives a great service to the people of Limerick and county especially to those living alone. Twenty members of Republican Sinn Féin attended the picket.
