Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5More of the same revisionism from O'Rawe. To suggest that republicans manipulated the Hunger Strikes in some sort of callous way is outrageous and deserves utter contempt. Is this really a progressive debate, or just another opportunity for mud-slinging and petty squabbling?
What is : Ionad Teampaill Chróine ,Dungloe ? Is it a pub or hotel ? Could you also tell who is organising this event ? Above comments are a wee bit harsh. Is discussion and debate not a healty way to reach a conclusion on such a subject ? If Richard O'Rawe has somthing thing to say about the Hunger Strike then let him speak, give him the floor and let people make their own minds up. Its not like he is speaking on his own, other speakers, including former hunger strikers will express their views also, is that not fair and balanced ?.
Ionad Teampaill Chróine ,Dungloe is a community based facility in Dungloe Co.Donegal,housing a library,computer facilities ,etc etc.
The event is being organised by a independent group who aim to open up healthy debate on various issues . We have been holding various disscusions over the past year , the last event being a International night of Culture in West Donegal with guests from various countries.
We believe debate is a very healthy thing on any issue, surely republicans had enough censorship for long enough.None is asking anyone to agree with what any of the speakers say , but everyone should be afforded their opinion.
How many times have the eletist leadership suppressed the truth from the grassroots in the past .
We all accepted that in times of war truth was more often than not a casuality for various reasons in the bigger publicity platform.
Surely now that the same eletist leadership have surrendered and much worse, now enforce british rule for British silver on Irish people within Ireland, could see their way as democrats and in the absence of war allow the grassroots who risked all for most of the time (not having the comfort of immunity certs dished out to the elite during the supergrass era and god only knows when and what else ) be able to ask questions of why decisions were approved and for what reasons.
Us who have made mistakes are duty bound as Republicans to verify the same in order to repair republicianism and give it endurence for time to come.
