SF have been vigorously rejecting claims made by Brendan Hughes in ‘Voices from the Grave’. It is hardly surprising that party members would not want to pay for the book and enrich Ed Moloney for what they insist are false, agenda driven claims. They should be left with the options of not reading the book, waiting for a library copy or trying to borrow one.
However, SF members (including one who works in their bookshop) are widely emailing a PDF copy of the book. The copy, which Slugger has seen, is not a scan. Where it originated from is not clear but it is certainly not a legitimate copy or being distributed legally.
Despite this I am also informed that a bookshop in West Belfast sold out it’s entire first order within hours.
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
