A Political History of the Two Irelands competition…
It’s not often we get free things to give away to our readers, but courtesy of Palgrave Macmillan we have a nice paperback copy of Brian M Walker’s excellent history of partition of the island and how identities shifted in both the north east and the south and west: as most of the territory that [...] read our review »

The peace process not such a good model after all
Which reminds me…. Platform for Change’s driving force Robin Wilson has produced a corrective to the notion that the lessons of the NI conflict are easily exportable. Like myself, Robin is associated with the Constitution Unit. He introduced his new book in a CU blog which I here reproduce. The water crisis in Northern Ireland [...] read our review »

Eamon Nancarrow’s misadventures in Rock…
It’s the quiet ones you have to watch, they say. When I last saw Eamonn Namcarrow, back in the mid 1980s he was a congenial, good-natured and highly sociable young lad. The next time was 26 years later, in Lavery’s Gin Palace in Bradbury Place. He’d just brought out his first book, Holywood Star about [...] read our review »

Ulick, no need for silly verbal insults okay!
How would U know who did or didn’t do anything but become useless drink talkers??
I guess, your’e another one of these reformed Republicans who believe whatever the PSF Leadership told them?
If so, how come all these ould drink-talkers helped put PSF where they are today and were sound until they were cast aside by the same Leadership when the time came for a full revision of Irish Republican politics to suit the few!

Lamh Dearg, I stated ‘most’ above not ‘All’….
Sorry to disappoint but PSF are on their own in this election with no-one else to blame for their failure to secure Irish Unity.
Maybe that’ll change for next year’s Council elections, who knows but the number of seasoned ‘dissenters’ are growing…
Just imagine what another will bring eh?

If U believe that Republicans taking to the streets once again, especially in the middle of an election Campaign, then U must be blind to our history chara.

Even if it were just about numbers/minorities or majorities?
Most of those U witnessed in the videoes are those who put PSF on the electoral map and spent years of their lives inside and prosecuting a Guerrilla Campaign against British Oppression!
Not as easy to dismiss now are they…
Please explain to me, why PSF boycotted today’s Unified Rally @ Maghaberry chara?

Comment on Grave problems in Tyrone
on 4 April 2010 at 5:13 am
Mark a chara,
Anti-GFA Republicans as a whole cannot aren’t in favour of armed struggle. Which was the same when the PIRA and PSF were fairly united….
Regards the Easter posters, RNU rightly support the new Derry Graves Association, much in the same way we support the new Tyrone Assoc also.

Seems Tyrone Republicans are following a similar path chosen by their comrades throughout Ireland, by choosing to hold independent commemorations in honour of Ireland’s dead….
However, once again PSF have issued smears and villification to describe those who no longer support as ‘dissidents’.
A wholly wrong term and one in which criminalises decent Republican families, activists and former Political Prisoners. People who have dedicated their whole lives to establishing an Irish Republic!

Preas Ráiteas ó RNU/RNU Press Release
RNU SLAMS MI5’s UNDERHAND ROLE IN SAVILLE
REPUBLICAN NETWORK for UNITY (RNU) Cathaoirleach/Chairperson, DANNY MCBREARTY, commenting on MI5’s devious role in the publication of the Saville Report said;
“RNU are angered but not surprised that Bloody Sunday Victims and their families are still being deprived of justice. The delay in publicising the Saville Report has damaging implications as it affords British lawyers and MI5 the opportunity to scrutinize and change the content of the report.
Irish citizens require the British Government and her Armed Forces acknowledge that those murdered and injured on Bloody Sunday were indeed innocent. The families need to have some sort of closure to the terrible tragedy that happened on January 31, 1972.
The sinister insistence by British Minister, Shaun Woodward that MI5 be permitted a significant role in the publication of the Bloody Sunday Report, before victims families, yet again demonstrates that the British Secret Service and not the Stormont Assembly direct the Six Counties”.
RNU calls on this report to be released to the families immediately.

Comment on House of cowards? *Caution spooks may be at work*

In response to Old School, the Prominent RNU member was’nt immediately expelled from the Network. He was suspended without prejudice from our Derry Cumann. Because he allegedly breached our Code of Conduct and procedures….
And yes U R correct, the respective organisations of RNU, 32CSM and the IRSP regularly attend joint-initatives in the city and beyond.

Mark, thanks for your informed response chara.
Regards the IRFU, as recently as November, the Forum actively opposed the Derry DPP meeting in the Tower Hotel. It has also been involved in a few other issues together, including a white-line picket in the Short Strand on Thursday past. Protesting against the mistreatment of an IRSP prisoner in Maghaberry….
Yes, I’m aware of various debates regarding Bap and TC being declined membership of Eirigi etc. However, I personally have no further information on the subject.
I understand you are not judging anyone but in the interests of all. This particular letter and subsequent peddling by senior S/F members needs to be addressed.
