It will be good to see true republicans on the streets of dublin at easter.
I would sometimes take the kids in to the GPO for the Fianna Fail easter commemoration,but not anymore. We'll be there on easter monday for the rsf one instead this year.

Proud to have you (and the kids!) there.

Hi Martin !
RSF would be delighted to see you and the kids at the GPO on Easter Monday - we won't have the 'style' that Fianna Fail uses (abuses?) ie the State Army trappings , the fly-overs and the well-suited and over-paid hangers-on , but there will be substance on offer.
Thanks for your comment and your support,
Sharon.

RSF will be at the GPO , Dublin, at 2pm on Easter Monday 2010.

Hi !
Neither the bad weather or the uncalled-for harassment of the State 'Special Branch' interfered too much with proceedings today in Balbriggan , at the RSF Easter Commemoration which was held on the Bridge at the Memorial Stone to two Republican supporters who were murdered by British Auxiliaries in September 1920.
A brief report and some pictures can be seen at the 'Related Link' below.
Thanks!
Sharon.

Hi !
Two hours in preparation beforehand on the day , one hour on 'site' , approximately 300-plus members of the public present for the final hour (with thousands of on-lookers overall!) and over 600 'booklets' of Republican leaflets distributed - the Easter Monday RSF Commemoration at the GPO in Dublin went very well today and was very well received.
A report and some pics can be seen at the 'Related Link' below.
Thanks!

I was at the GPO with my two kids on Easter Monday for that commemoration and I'd like to congratulate the organisers.
It was a very dignified and proper ceremony and it was a very fitting tribute to the men and women of 1916.
Good job,well done.

A humble commemoration , with dignity.

Hi Frank !
I think I was talking to you on the day , Frank , and your two wee daughters : one was shy (Louise) whereas the 'older' girl , Emily, asked if I could arrange for her to have her picture taken , whilst she stood beside the speakers lectern - which we did !
Thanks for your kind comments - they really are appreciated by all of us.
Also - an American 'International Travel Writer' , Ron Chatham , was at the GPO on Easter Monday as the Commemoration was being held , and he took some excellent photographs - they can be viewed at the 'Related Link' below.
(Incidentally , Frank - both of your daughters can be seen in those photographs!)
Thanks!
Sharon.
