*On This Day*
January 20th 1987
INLA chief of staff John O'Reilly and INLA staff officer Thomas "Ta" Power are assassinated by the IPLO.
O'Reilly and Power, along with two other INLA volunteers, went to Drogheda to discuss a truce between the two organisations. Instead, the IPLO cowardly opened fire on their former comrades, killing John O'Reilly and Ta Power.
John O'Reilly and Ta Power died as they lived: as proud Republican Socialists.
Renew support membership for 2020:
We would like to remind all support members to renew their support membership for 2020.
"The Free State Fine Gael led Government has cancelled its commemoration for the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) and the Dublin Metropolitan Police (DMP), Auxiliaries and Black & Tans which had been due to take place on 17 January.
This follows a major backlash from various elected representatives and County Councils which voted to boycott the event.
A Counter Demonstration was due to take place on January 17 with many expressing in the spirit of 1920 their militant opposition to all vestiges of British rule in Ireland.
While the Free State waters down history in the schools and removes it entirely from the curriculum they expect the Irish people to forget their own past and the suffering and genocides that British rule imposed on the people of Ireland.
The message sent to Leo Varadkar, Charlie Flanagan and the other west-British elements in the counter revolutionary Leinster House was that this is totally unacceptable. No other nation on earth commemorates its oppressors.
The cancellation of this ‘commemoration of British crown forces’ is a victory for now for the Irish people. But the West British elements looking to rewrite our history are still at work. Apathy needs to be discarded and vigilance cranked up.
CONTINUITY not COMPROMISE"
“The Irish Republic must be made a word to conjure with – a rallying point for the disaffected, a haven for the oppressed, a point of departure for the socialist, enthusiastic in the cause of human freedom.”
— James Connolly #NoBlackAndTans
If they aren’t able to destroy the desire for freedom, they won’t break you. They won’t break me because the desire for freedom, and the freedom of the Irish people, is in my heart. The day will dawn when all the people of Ireland will have the desire for freedom to show. It is then we’ll see the rising of the moon.
