We share below a statement from our comrades in Republican Sinn Féin.
Every year we in Na Fianna Éireann participate in this national commemoration filling our role as part of the wider Republican Movement. We realize that all those who died on Hunger Strike were young men, who without fear or hesitation gave up their life’s for Ireland’s cause for freedom. We in Na Fianna are proud to follow in their footsteps in striving for a united and free Ireland. We draw strength from the courage they displayed.
We call on all the youth of Ireland to read and educated yourselves objectively on what they stood for, if you agree, then join Na Fianna Éireann and play your part.
“Everyone, Republican or otherwise, has their own particular part to play. No part is too great or too small; no one is too old or too young to do something.” – Óglach Bobby Sands TD
