New Ógra cumann in Lurgan commerorate Hungerstrikers!

category armagh | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday May 23, 2006 00:39author by Youth Community Activist! - Ógra Shinn Féin Report this post to the editors

Young republicans from the Lurgan area engaged with local students today the 22nd May, in remembrance of the 1981 Hunger Strike. A leaflet drop at a local high school saw hundreds of students given information leaflets about the Hunger Strike and details about the developing Ógra group in the area.

Activists were met enthusiastically, with some students requesting further leaflets for friends and family.

Speaking for the developing Ógra group Fergal Connolly said, “we decided on today for this action in remembrance, and to coincide, with the anniversaries of Ray McCreesh and Patsy O’Hara.”

He went on to add, “We were met with, and indeed questioned by some, with great enthusiasm. We hope we have awoken something within these students today, which can only help us build our group locally and benefit the movement as a whole.”

This was followed up by the leafleting of a local estate. Further action is planned throughout the week with another school in the area, as well as local estates and the town centre being targeted. Activists rounded off the afternoon by stopping, for a few moments of reflection. They gathered at the republican plot to remember the Hunger Strikers and all our patriot dead.

patsy ohara said once he started the hunger strike something like continue the struggle, but you OSF people just dis-respected those words by joining the party that evovled into the ones that forgot his words while being paid by the crown and the elite of america to do their sad deeds in the name of republicanism.

If Gerry Adams had not nominated Ian Paisley, people would say that it was Sinn Féin who were refusing to work with unionists.
Nothing will ever be good enough for some people.
Whatever you do you can't win.

Fair play to those activists in Lurgan who are playing their role in the continuation of the struggle.

What struggle? The struggle since 1994 has been to gain the acceptance of Paisley and sit at his right hand in a Parliament we could have got in the 1970s. As for the other IRAs they should go home to their families because if the Brits were able to infiltrate the PIRA so high up then they must know what you're having for breakfast as you seem to have more touts than a dog has fleas. No more young people should waste their lives for a cause that has been so often betrayed in the past.

Well done to the activists for commemorating those brave hunger strikers and our patriot dead, ach, they can't claim they are continuing on the same struggle. The hunger strikers did not starve themselves to death to administer British imperialism in the form of Stormont and to nominate a lunatic as 1st Minister (such an embarrassing spectacle Paisley is, particularly, when your in the company of foreigners and their asking me who that mad Irish man is on the tv) - yes your, cinnte, on the road to no where with him!). These are strange times indeed.

Ah! Tá mo chroí bríste!!

And did you explain to your friend in your best Irish accent that the "mad Irish man" does not think he is Irish at all and that his madness is confirmed by the fact that he refuses the offer to lead his so-called ‘country’ because he must do so in partnership with untermenschen who he considers are lead by the Devil’s representative in Earth.

And when you did all that, as I assume you did, did it help your foreign friends to understand the crazy sectarian state set up by Britain in the North of Ireland? Or do you want Paisley to be our little secret on our little island.

Good man yourself.

It's a great wonder surely, that anyone would be thinking now of going into partnership with the Paisley fellow, him being a great big blundering fool of a man with not an ounce of sense coming out of his mouth from one minute to the next.

And a great misfortune to the island that such a man is here and permitted to be marching about the place giving his sermons of mass destruction.

And to be sure I explained all to my foreign friends who find it hard to believe that such a man could have ever got elected in the first place.

Bíodh ciall agat, le do thoil!

Slán anois!
