❤️Remembering Martin McGuinness. It’s hard to believe that nine years have already gone by.
Martin lived for Ireland and for the people of Ireland. A dedicated Republican activist and leader who gave so much. We loved Martin dearly. We miss him terribly but we always remember him.
His legacy drives us towards the day when the sun will rise in United Ireland. 🇮🇪
Ní bheidh a leitheid aris ann.

“I have no prouder boast than to say I am Irish and have been privileged to fight for the Irish people and for Ireland.”

🇮🇪 50 years ago today, Frank Stagg died after 62 days on hunger strike in Britain’s Wakefield prison.
A committed and courageous Irish Republican. A proud son of Mayo and a gallant patriot. He laid down his life for the dignity of Ireland’s freedom struggle. Inspired so fully by Ireland’s right to nationhood and the right of her people to equality and justice.
Even in the darkness of moments, these beliefs sustained him. He never gave up, never gave in, he stuck by the Republic until the very end.
Frank Stagg - his bravery and sacrifice - will never be forgotten.
“We are the risen people!”
🇮🇪 We continue the fight back against Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s shameful plan to turn the GPO into shops and offices. This is sacred ground - the birthplace of the Irish Republic, the heartbeat of the Easter Rising, a monument to our country’s struggle for freedom. Hands off Ireland’s proud rebel history! Hands off the GPO!
