Republican Sinn Féin in Monaghan will be campaigning strenuously in the coming month in the run up to the referendum on Lisbon 2 on October 2nd. Monaghan was one of the areas that produced a high NO vote when the same treaty was put before them in 2008. We hope that that result can be replicated this time.
Vol. Fearghal Ó hAnluain Commemoration
John Joe McCusker of Fermanagh, a member of the Ard Comhairle of Sinn Féin Poblachtach was the main speaker at the Fearghal Ó hAnluain commemoration which took place at Ó hAnluain’s grave in Monaghan town. Led by a piper and colour party the crowd moved from the cathedral to the grave where John Joe McCusker recalled the events at Brookeborough in 1957.
“Fearghal Ó hAnluain was a selfless individual who left behind him a legacy of resistance to British rule in
The opening line of the great ballad “The Patriot Game” which stated “My name is O’Hanlon” echoed in the small parish halls of the 1960s. Those words had a great resonance with the youth of
Having covered a wide range of subjects in his oration including the departure of previous comrades from the basic path to freedom he stated that: “Sinn Féin Poblachtach has managed to survive against a tidal wave of woes. We have developed a structured organisation across the 32 Counties. We have offices in
There was a great welcome for another speaker Maoilíosa Ó hAnluain, Fearghal’s eldest brother who the chairman stated didn’t deviate one iota from the basic principles of freedom endorsed by Fearghal and his comrades in the fifties. Maoilíosa’s short address affirmed his unbroken belief in those principles and his dedication to continue until we have an Ireland Gaelic and free.
Wreaths were laid by Dan Hoban from Mayo who gave the oration in 2008 and by Seán Moore from the Dáithí Ó Conaill cumann in Monaghan. A decade of the rosary was recited in Irish by Dara Sloan and the proceedings were chaired by veteran Republican Pádraig Ó Baoighill.

REMOVE BRITISH SYMBOLS FROM IRISH BUILDINGS
The Dáithí Ó Conaill cumann is engaged in a leaflet and poster campign to remove British symbols like the coat of arms over the courthouse in Monaghan from Irish buildings. Leaflets are being dropped door to door and posters are already on some poles.

PRESS RELEASE
17/11/08
At its Ard Fhéis at the weekend of 8th and 9th November Republican Sinn Féin passed the following motion:
“That this Ard-Fheis calls for a greater effort to be made to remove all symbols of former British occupation in the 26 Counties”
With respect to this the Dáithí Ó Conaill cumann would like to state that with the current refurbishment of the court house in Monaghan currently underway now is an opportune moment to remove the British coat of arms that defaces the front of the building.

51st Anniversary
Commemoration
Republican Sinn Féin organised a very successful commemoration marking the 51st anniversary of the death in action of Monaghan man Fearghal Ó hAnluain onSunday 13th January 2008. Over 200 Republicans attended from all over Ireland and followed a piper and full colour party along the parade route to Latlurcan graveyard.
The event was chaired by Padraig Ó Baoighill of the Dáithí Ó Conaill Cumann. Maolíosa Ó hAnluain, brother of Fearghal spoke thanking people for attending and encouraging us in our Republican activities. The main guest speaker was veteran republican Dan Hoban from county Mayo. He gave a very powerful speech recounting his days as a Republican activist from the border campaign to the modern era.
Successful Leaflet Drop
The members of the Dáithí Ó Conaill cumann have recently completed several successful leaflet drops through the letterboxes of the local area. Leaflets included information on the campaign for Political Status within the gaols and what we on the outside can do for the prisoners, Éire Nua Republican Sinn Féins main policy document as well as Saol Nua. Future leaflet drops are planned to highlight the occupation of our country and to call for new recruits for the Movement.
The Dáithí Ó’Conaill Cumann took part in the large protest against the removal of services from
It was disappointing to note that the Monaghan County Community Hospital Alliance, who organised the protest in the first place, were very critical of those who demonstrated most vigorously. Do these people not realise that there is genuine anger in Monaghan about the removal of services from our hospital? They gave very poor leadership to the people and indeed told them to go home. It appears that they would like to spend some more time on their knees begging to Bertie, Mary and pals. Republican Sinn Féin on the other hand would like to see the people of Monaghan treated with respect. That is something that is never given to the meek, it is only given to those who deserve it as the people who demonstrated last Monday quite clearly do.
