Sinn Fein defend the Free State

category national | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Wednesday November 05, 2008 22:07author by Bonnan buí Report this post to the editors


Sinn Fein defend the Free State


Last week i thought i was having another one of my funny turns when i read that Sinn Fein were very upset about the closure of Free State Army Barracks. But thennnn, the coin dropped how could i not have realised, obviously this must be the 'New Irealand' Gerry A keeps going on about.

Sinn Féin in Donegal were holding a public meeting alongside PDFORRA which reperesents Free State army soldiers, to object to the closure of two Free State Army barracks Rockhill and Lifford in Donegal.

""""Sinn Fein Donegal are calling on family, friends and local communities to come together on Thursday the 30th Oct at 8pm in the Ramada Hotel Letterkenny to form a united voice for the Soldiers of Rockhill and Lifford.""

Sinn Féin describe the decision to close the barracks as " a deplorable announcement" and that " Sinn Fein members strongly feel that 'something must be done' ".

Even more interesting was the title of their meeting "They Defend us, Now We Must Defend Them" .

I dont know about you all but i'm really excited about the way this "New Ireland" is shaping up for us Republicans, defending the Free State, having tea and crumpets in Downing St .But what I really cant wait for is, the protests at the closure of Britsh Barracks. .And how could we forget the Sinn Féin recruitment drive for new ' Irish Army' members after all we Irish Republicans need the Free State to defend us!!!!!!
