Cork Wreathlaying

32CSM held a wreath laying ceremony at the Grave of IRA Volunteer Dermot Crowley on his 50th anniversary. Cork volunteer Dermot Crowley, Seán Loughran and Patrick Carty died when a bomb they were transporting near Omagh exploded prematurely in 1973. 18-year-old Dermot Crowley grew up in Mayfield in Cork. One of six children, he was a skilled sportsman and played for Clann Éireann GAA and his county in both juvenile and youth athletics. The terrible suffering of the nationalist people in the North of Ireland in the early 1970s had a strong effect on Dermot and he joined the IRA with his lifelong friend, Tony Ahern. Dermot was heartbroken when 17-year-old Tony was killed in a landmine explosion in Fermanagh in May 1973. Dermot himself would lose his young life exactly one month later in Omagh.

He is buried in Rathcooney, County Cork and is always remembered by Cork Republicans.

Belfast 32CSM Statement On Orange March

The following is a statement from Belfast 32CSM WolfeTone/McCracken cumann in response to a proposed orange march by Ardoyne in north Belfast.

With recent talk of an orange triumphalist march possibly returning by Ardoyne this year and the support for it from right across the unionist/loyalist community and political class, we feel it necessary to make our position on the matter clear. The people of Ardoyne and indeed most other nationalist/Republican communities, have made it clear throughout the years that these marches are not wanted or supported and are used to antagonise and give the impression that we are an inferior people, this is most certainly not the case. If in the event this coat trailing exercise does go ahead, we will be joining with other Republicans from Belfast, and no doubt further afield, in actively opposing it. The days of orange triumphalism are long gone, as the age old saying goes, orange feet off our streets. Beir bua!

Anti-British Policing Posters In Derry

The Derry cumann of the 32CSM have been highlighting the local community sentiment towards the British policing system still in operation on this island.

Regardless of what British politicians in SinnFein and the SDLP peddle to the media, support for this armed militia remains near non-existent in Republican area's.

The PSNI, as with the RUC and RIC before them, remain committed to upholding British rule and the institutions of partition.

While policing here remains the same so do does our position on the matter. Reject all forms of British political policing in Ireland.
