History and ephemera of Irish republicanism, with an emphasis on Belfast

@mcgurksbar @KilclooneyJohn @irish_news @NorthBelfastNew @BelTel I don't get @kilclooneyJohn's semantics like 'no court found them innocent'?

@BBCMarkSimpson @NIOgov Maybe British government should redact The Telegraph (13/11/21) which reported Brandon Lewis talking up the history project and legacy legislation as part of the same suite of measures.

For #InternationalWomensDay 👇🏼 A famous Iron Age sculpture from Ireland. Typically depicted as some angry god holding a severed arm.
More likely a goddess to whom offerings/prayers were directed to obtain relief from pain, illness or to aid fertility.

....circumstances and subsequent failures to observe any due to process.

There were 3 female fatalities from baton rounds so this is actually based on a...
