The Annual 'Eve Of All-Ireland Rally' will be held in Dubin this coming Saturday ,17th September 2011.
Hi !
" One of the largest public rallies seen in Dublin for years was held by Sinn Féin at the GPO on the eve of the All-Ireland Football Final . Headed by a Colour Party and a pipe band , a parade of more than 2,000 people marched from Parnell Square through the main city thoroughfare as a protest against the continued unjust imprisonment of Irishmen without charge or trial .
Contingents from all over the country took part and many carried banners and placards including groups from England and Scotland . In the Ulster section was a strong representation of the Derry supporters who thronged the capital city for the Final . One placard they carried asked - ' Why are Six-County Nationalists interned in the Curragh?' ....."
(From 'An tÉireannach Aontaithe/The United Irishman' newspaper , November 1958)
The Annual Eve Of All-Ireland Rally will be held this year on Saturday 17th September 2011 : those attending are asked to assemble at the GPO at 2pm.
Thanks!
Sharon.
