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, identity 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!
