Annual Eve of All-Ireland Rally , Dublin : 19/9/15 , at 2pm, GPO.

Annual Eve of All-Ireland Rally will be held in Dublin on Saturday 19th September 2015 at the GPO, 2pm.

Hi!

"One of the largest public rallies seen in Dublin for years was held by Sinn Féin at the GPO on the eve of the All-Ireland Football Final . Headed by a Colour Party and a pipe band , a parade of more than 2,000 people marched from Parnell Square through the main city thoroughfare as a protest against the continued unjust imprisonment of Irishmen without charge or trial . Contingents from all over the country took part and many carried banners and placards including groups from England and Scotland . In the Ulster section was a strong representation of the Derry supporters who thronged the capital city for the Final . One placard they carried asked - ' Why are Six-County Nationalists interned in the Curragh?' ....."
(From 'An tÉireannach Aontaithe/The United Irishman' newspaper , November 1958.)

The Annual Eve Of All-Ireland Rally will be held in Dublin on Saturday 19th September 2015. Those attending are asked to assemble at the Garden Of Remembrance at 1.45pm for the parade to the GPO in O'Connell Street at 2pm.
Thanks,
Sharon.

Hi!

This rally went ahead as outlined above and was a very successful event : it was Chaired by Josephine Hayden and two RSF members - Des Dalton, President, and Geraldine McNamara, PRO - spoke from the lectern as did one uniformed member from Na Fianna Éireann. Three-hundred-and-fifty 'leaflet packs', comprising 1,200 printed items of a republican nature, were distributed on O'Connell Street before and during the proceedings and were eagerly accepted by the public.
Two issues in particular struck a note of approval with the audience - the recent conduct of the GAA leadership and the re-internment of Thomas Kent.
A few words and pics re same can be accessed at the 'Related Link' , below, and a full report will be carried in the October 2015 issue of 'Saoirse'.

Thanks,
Sharon.
