- PRESS INFORMATION
NO 'GAME' FOR THOSE STILL SEEKING JUSTICE!
A further indication of the strength of feeling over the use of the GAA
ground at Croke Park was evident today when Republican Sinn Féin issued a
press notice calling for a meeting with GAA Bosses.
Republican Sinn Féin's President, Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, and
Vice-President, Des Dalton, are seeking the meeting with the GAA
President, Nicky Brennan, on February 24 in advance of the Ireland/England
rugby match in Croke Park.
At the meeting they intend to hand over a letter to Mr. Brennan explaining
the reasons behind the Party's protest planned for that day at the GAA
ground.
Republican Sinn Féin have also condemned the holding of a rugby march in
Dublin between the Combined Services of the British Armed Forces and Irish
Colleges. They say that they "view this match as just another event
designed to normalise British rule in our country" and go on to
stress that "British occupation will never be normal or acceptable
and such events will always be opposed by Irish Republicans"
However as revelations, almost on a weekly basis, emerge about the nature
of the complicity between British security forces and loyalist
paramilitary murder gangs it is not just fervent republicans who will be
uneasy about such steps towards so called "normalisation"
Many relatives of those killed by murder-gangs organised by the British
security apparatus in the North of Ireland will feel betrayed at those who
now hold out the olive branch to organisations whose hands still drip with
blood'.
Relatives of those killed in the 1974 bombings of Dublin and Monaghan or
the family of Co. Louth Forestry Worker Seamus Ludlow are just some of the
long suffering bereaved still seeking answers. They should surely see
their quest for justice given precedence over a Rugby match?
