Hi !

" One of the largest public rallies seen in Dublin for years was held by Sinn Féin at the GPO on the eve of the All-Ireland Football Final . Headed by a Colour Party and a pipe band , a parade of more than 2,000 people marched from Parnell Square through the main city thoroughfare as a protest against the continued unjust imprisonment of Irishmen without charge or trial .
Contingents from all over the country took part and many carried banners and placards including groups from England and Scotland . In the Ulster section was a strong representation of the Derry supporters who thronged the capital city for the Final . One placard they carried asked - ' Why are Six-County Nationalists interned in the Curragh?' ....."

(From 'An tÉireannach Aontaithe/The United Irishman' newspaper , November 1958)

The Annual Eve Of All-Ireland Rally will be held this year on Saturday 18th September 2010 : those attending are asked to assemble at the Garden of Remembrance in Parnell Square at 1.45pm from where the parade will leave for the GPO .

Thanks!
Sharon.

Hi !

This RSF Rally was held today , as advertised and, apart from the bad weather and the usual attempted interference by the political police , all went well.

A Piper (from the Glens of Antrim) , an RSF Colour Party , representatives from Cumann na mBan and Na Fianna Éireann marched from the Garden of Remembrance in Parnell Square to the GPO in O'Connell Street , where they , and the crowds , were welcomed to the proceedings by the Rally Chairperson , Andy Connolly.

Two Speakers - one representing 'the North' and the other representing 'the South' , delivered speeches , leaflets were distributed and dozens of copies of
the 'SAOIRSE' newspaper were sold , at this very successful event.
A brief report and some photographs can be viewed at the 'Related Link' below ,
and a full report will be published in the October 2010 issue of that newspaper , which goes to print on Wednesday 6th of that month.
Thanks!
Sharon.
