Easter Statement from CGRP Prisoners

 A cairde

As we gather here today in remembrance of the glorious events of  
1916 and our forefathers fight for a free and independent Ireland, free of

the yoke and oppression of British rule, but only that but also free of the 
burdens and oppression of their Irish lackeys and supporters.

We must not forget that the job is only partly done and that more 
glorious men and women may have to give their life or liberty to achieve it. 
we as  true and honest republicans must first take a step back and look at
ourselves before we ask these generations to commit to the ultimate
sacrifice. 

We must clean house of the lackeys who prefer to line their own pockets or 

serve masters in M15,RUC/PSNI or the Special Branch. we must rid ourselves 

of these undesirables from whatever level be it top or bottom without delay 

as these and not the British or branch are the biggest hindrance we as 

republicans face in achieving our end goal.

While some prefer to focus on the politicians and what they are doing 
let them do their own thing and let us get on with the real job of
reorganising and rebuilding from the bottom up the same as Pearse and 

Connolly and reignite the spirit of true Irish liberation in the hearts 

and minds of the Irish People.

Easter Commemoration 2007

On Sunday the 1st of April 3, 2007 a group of Republicans, the Irish American Brotherhood and their guests the Concerned Group for Republican Prisoners took part in an Easter Commemoration which also incorporated a Noel Maguire information session to highlight the International day of Action and explain Noels case to those present.

There was a great turn out of people and they listened intently as the a brief history of the 1916 Easter Rising was given followed by a reading of an Easter Statement from a CGRP Political Prisoner in Portlaoise Prison,                                                   

A detailed description of the Miscarriage of Justice perpetrated on Noël Maguire and the evidence that sent him away for 22 years was given to the crowd and his family’s treatment while visiting him was explained. Also the treatment meted out by the Free State government in refusing Noels Repatriation request and the reasons were explained as to why he fully qualifies for Repatriation. An appeal was made to those present to take a few minutes to write a short letter or card to Noel and let him know that Republicans in the US still care and respect the sacrifices of our political prisoners. A letter of  thanks was read out from Noel thanking those present for their continued support.

It was a successful event with those present expressing anger and disbelief at the treatment of this young political prisoner by the Free State Government. We thank everyone for their support and the Irish American Brotherhood for organizing this event and allowing the CGRP to participate.

With Irish Americans like these Republicanism will not be broken and the cause that so many Irishmen and Irishwomen died for will not be forsaken or sold to the highest bidder.

The vision of our Ireland  one day free from the yoke of  the British and her puppet governments is the only fitting tribute to our glorious forefathers who sacrificed their freedom and their lives for the cause of Irish Freedom
