éirígí’s ‘Reclaim the Republic’ campaign reached Derry on Friday, the 30th of March, with copies of the 1916 Proclamation of The Irish Republic being distributed to homes in both Bellaghy and Maghera. A group of local éirígí activists and supporters were joined by comrades from Dublin and Belfast for this, the first distribution of éirígí material in the occupied six counties.

Speaking in Bellaghy éirígí member Geraldine Dougan said that the Proclamation ‘contains the essence of what socialist republicanism is all about – the ending of British rule in Ireland and the establishment of a Republic that cherishes ‘all the children of the Nation equally’.

She continued stating that ‘…éirígí represents the best political vehicle for those who wish to see a British withdrawal from Ireland and real change in the way wealth and power are distributed in Ireland ….I would encourage people to become involved in supporting both éirígí and the wider building of a movement for Irish freedom’
