Jump To Comment: 1RSF PROTEST AGAINST RUC HURLERS IN NEWRY
Republican Sinn Féin held a protest against the presence of a team representing the British Colonial Police at a hurling game in Newry's Pairc Esler on Saturday, 18th August. The match was staged on the back of the Under 21 Hurling Semi-Final clash between Derry and Dublin. This protest – organised by the Joe Conway Cumann, Newry, and attended by Republicans from Newry, South Armagh and Derry – highlighted the fact that there are those who remain opposed to English rule in Ireland.
The match was a cynical attempt to bolster recent moves to make the RUC more acceptable to people from the Nationalist community. Nonetheless, the organisers clearly sought to keep details of the match outside of the public domain until the last minute.
Republican Sinn Féin congratulates genuine supporters of the GAA for boycotting this spectacle, which was left devoid of spectators. We are also aware of a number of people who felt unable to turn out to support the U21 Semi-Final teams owing to their revulsion at the presence of the British Crown Forces' team at the stadium. Although Rule 21 was removed despite overwhelming opposition in the Six Occupied Counties, there are still many who will never tolerate enemy forces playing our National Games.
