All roads lead to Bodenstown.

And all genuine and principled Republicans should be there. The ideals that the United Irishmen fought for remain unfulfilled but our commitment to achieving those aims continues unabated.

Stand for the Republic.

Stand shoulder to shoulder with fellow Republicans.

Today marks the 45th anniversary of the death of Oglach Bobby Sands. A true Republican who gave his life for the socialist republic that Tone, Emmett, Clarke, Connolly and Mellows called for.

Principled and uncompromising Republicans will parade to Wolfe Tone’s grave on June 7th.

Tone’s rallying cry to break the connection with Britain was the beliefs that Bobby Sands died for.

DONATIONS REQUIRED

A Chairde,
As we approach this year’s Wolfe Tone commemoration in Bodenstown, we are making a direct appeal for funds towards the ever increasing costs of hosting this event.

As an Independent Republican group we accept no funding from governments and rely totally on our own fundraising.
As our commemorations get bigger so do our costs.
Everything we do is voluntary but economic costs are rising.

The increased cost of fuel has seen the price of buses for the bands rise. Hiring necessary equipment has also increased.

Please consider making a donation to our Revolut account today. It will benefit us all.

Please text “Bodenstown” when making a donation.
