Volunteer Patricia Black was just 19 when she died on active service in England. Patricia was a staunch opponent of British occupation in Ireland and volunteered to bring the fight to England’s cities.

Independent Republicans in Belfast with the support of the Black family will be erecting a new mural to commemorate Patricia on November 15th.

Please share this notice and we encourage you all to attend. We will never forget our volunteers.

Independent Republicans in Cork have organised this important commemoration.

The campaign in England was a vital part of the war. The bravery and commitment of those volunteers who took the war to England must be recognised and remembered.

Genuine Republicans on the Dublin Streets

It was fantastic to see hundreds of genuine Republicans from across Ireland march through Dublin to honour the 81 Hunger Strikers on the 45th anniversary of their brave struggle.

The presence of the Hurson and Gaughan family was very poignant and the large amount of former prisoners and combatants was a measure of the people who joined us on the day.

The main oration by Republican activist and former blanket man Eugene Byrne was immense. Recalling the bleak days and the prison struggles and the bravery of the hunger strikers, Gene, as a Socialist Republican also took time to offer solidarity to the Stardust families and the Palestinian people.
Two strong Republican women read the roll of honour and the Rhythm of Time respectively while Cathal sang a moving song dedicated to the Ten.

It was great to see so many young people present and a special thank you to the James Connolly band from Derry who along with the piper kept the large parade moving thru the City. Our gratitude to the excellent colour party and stewards. Very pleased to see so many wreaths laid. Thanks to Starry Plough first aid and the black flag bearers.

The presence of banners from so many counties was an indication of how the Independent Republican movement is expanding. Our gratitude to those who travelled.

We continue to honour those volunteers who gave everything for the cause.
The cause of Irish Freedom and Sovereignty.
The cause of British withdrawal.
The cause of a Workers Republic.
