» Who fears to speak of heroic Gaels?Leitrim supporters of our national games are enraged at plans to delete the name of Captain Jim Vaugh, Irish Republican Army, from the GAA grounds in Drumshanbo. The Jim Vaugh Memorial Park was renamed the Shane McGettigan Park in a ceremony on May 3. Shane McGettigan, a young man who lost his life on a building site on Boston last year, played for Allen Gaels, Drumshanbo and for the Leitrim Senior Football team. Many local GAA supporters and Republicans have contacted Republican Sinn Féin to say that while they have no objection to this young man being honoured, they see no reason why this should be done at the expense of another Gael. They have suggested that the GAA pitch could easily have been renamed the ‘Vaugh/McGettigan Memorial Park’. Captain Jim Vaugh died on Christmas Day 1931, shortly after his release from Ballinamore Barracks, from injuries received during beatings by 26-County political police (Special Branch) there. His name is on the County Leitrim Roll of Honour. |

Republican Sinn Féin is extremely concerned at the existing conditions for Republican political prisoners and their families: The safety of Republican prisoners' families on visits to Maghaberry where they have to travel with loyalists and sit among them. Four Republican prisoners in Maghaberry are being strip-searched repeatedly, as often as eight times per day. The prisoners have been sentenced to 28-day periods of solitary confinement on 23-hour lock-up on trumped-up charges. They are being forced to share cells with loyalists. Their cells have been wrecked by repeated searches. DEMANDSThese Republican prisoners demand:

A mother and her 14-year-old son escaped injury when a loyalist death-squad fired a grenade at their home in Mill Avenue, in the Ligoniel area of north Belfast on April 25. The device exploded on impact at the rear of the nationalist home at around 11.40pm. Slates were blown off the roof.
Across in south Belfast a woman and her friend escaped unhurt when her home and an adjacent unoccupied house came under loyalist petrol bomb attack in Millfort Avenue, Dunmurry. Both properties suffered scorch damage.
