Despite the wet and windy conditions, Republicans from Armagh, Antrim, Belfast, Cork, Dublin, Kildare, Louth, Meath and Tyrone with messages of support from Derry, Donegal, Tipperary, Waterford, Westmeath and Wexford gathered together to launch the Commemoration.
Wolfe Tone is the founding father of Irish Republicanism and his legacy and those of the United Irishmen needs to be respected and promoted.
By uniting around this commemoration, Independent Republicans and other progressive groups can ensure that the message of Irish Freedom and true Independence continues to be shared. We should never compromise on our vision for Irish Unity, the same vision of Tone’s, of the Fenians, of the Rising and of later struggles.
With over 5 bands involved, several guest speakers including John Crawley, we will parade from Sallins to Bodenstown, the graveyard of Wolfe Tone with the full permission of the National Graves Association.
We invite all those committed to genuine Irish Unity to join us on Sunday June 8th.
Beir Bua.
