Vol Hugh Hehir Remembered

Hugh Hehir was born on 21st November 1950, the third eldest of seven children. A plumber by trade he was ploiticised during the Civil Rights period in 1968 and joined the IRA in the aftermath of the August pogroms of 1969. Hughie operated in many parts of the border area and knew other Volunteers from the 26 Counties who had also none north, such as Tony Ahern and Dermot Crowley from Cork. In early 1974 he was arrested in Belfast's New Lodge Road area along with Joe Doherty and charged with possession of explosives and IRA membership. While in Crumlin Road jail on remand, he and Joe attempted escape but were caught. He served his sentence in the cages of Long Kesh where he made many friends and when he was released in November 1979 he immediately reported back to the IRA. Hughie lived in Clarecastle, Co. Clare with his wife Anne and their three children, Hugh, Seán and Fiona. Their other daughter Tara died in a car accident four years before Hugh was killed at 3 years of age. On Fr...

Cork 32CSM remember Finbarr Walsh.

The Cork 32 County Sovereignty Movement today held a wreath lying ceremony in memory of Volunteer Finbarr Walsh. Today was a great success with Finbarrs family in attendance. Finbarr was a fearsome Republican who upheld the integrity of Irish Republicanism despite the betrayals of others. A dedicated Republican, Finbarr was uncompromising and deeply feared by his enemies. Finbarr was struck by a car in 2005 in very suspicious circumstances. The driver was never charged, iden tity never revealed and the other passenger in the car was never acknowledged. Instead of trying to investigate the incident on the night in question, the free state forces spent weeks searching the surrounding fields for weapons. We remember Finbarr’s legacy, his lifelong dedication to Republicanism and his instrumental effect in preserving republicanism across Ireland during a time of betrayal and counter revolution. Beir Bua!

Denis Spriggs Commemoration

COMMEMORATION SUNDAY 6TH JULY 2008 TO REMEMBER VOLUNTEER DENNIS SPRIGGS MURDERED BY BRITISH FORCES Oration Delivered by Francis Mackey, National Chairman 32 County Sovereignty Movement. Friends, Comrades, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is indeed a great honour to be here in the Rebel County to join with you to remember Denis Spriggs who was taken from his home at midnight and murdered at this spot by British forces on the 8th July 1921 and I pay tribute to everyone involved in ensuring that such sacrifices are never forgotten. Dennis Spriggs lied about his age so that he could join the IRA. At 16 years of age he volunteered his services to the national liberation struggle and like countless others of his kind suffered hardship as a result. Forced on the run and into an uncertain life he continued on active service. Whilst visiting his Mother his presence was betrayed by a neighbour and at once his fate was sealed. And for that act of informing the neighbours fate was sealed also. Just imagin...
