A Republican soldier who lead from the front who never took the thirty pieces of the queens silver. They still fear his name. His ideals. His politics. His unwillingness to bow to Thatcher and those who followed her.

Black paint won’t cover up Sinn Féin’s betrayal of the people of West Belfast. The most deprived community in Ireland despite the Shinners pocketing millions. Betrayed the movement- betrayed the people. Quislings.

We send solidarity to the Hughes family and fully agree that Brendan’s legacy will outlive those who defended Scapp.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Following conversations with many Republicans and the bands involved, we have decided to move our National Hunger Strike Commemoration to Sunday 30th August in Dublin.

We do this out of respect for the Bundoran event and equally important, for Republican unity and solidarity.

Our Hunger Strikers were united in their determination and we, as Independent Republicans share that determination to work with all genuine and principled Republicans.

We hope that on the 45th Anniversary of the Hunger Strike that many Republicans make the effort to attend the Dublin and Bundoran commemorations. Our ten brave volunteers deserve to be remembered with pride and an ongoing determination to see the British withdrawal and the Independent Republic they died for.

Please share this message and please attend the commemorations.

Beir Bua 🇮🇪
