[QUOTE="scolairebocht, post: 125468, member: 8"] [MEDIA=youtube]hsPyvq0HqVo[/MEDIA] Gerry McGeough is a hero to many in the Republican movement and also in the modern general area of Catholic activism. For his military activities he suffered extensive jail terms in the North, Germany, and the United States. Because of some potential legal problems, and anyway because its well known, this interview doesn’t go into great detail as to his career in the Republican movement, but does cover: – His pride in the history of South East Tyrone, where his family have been for many centuries, and in Ireland for arguably two millennia or so. – His belief that the current era in Ireland could end up resembling the Bruce invasion of 1315-8. At that time the Gaelic Irish supported king, Edward Bruce, was defeated, but in the long run the Irish crept back and reclaimed almost all Ireland from the Norman invaders, turning the former defeat into a pyrrhic victory. – His strong belief that a Catholic revival in Ireland is very needed, and calls for a greater emphasis and maybe a type of pride in our Catholic heritage. – A brief description of his involvement in the famous Bobby Sands election campaign of 1981, which was in his constituency and for which he shared a platform with Bernadette McAliskey. – His forthright view that the IRA campaign of that period was justified, and the just ‘standing by’ stance of the Irish army and state at the time on the border, was not. – While on the Ard Chomhairle of Sinn Fein he realised that all major decisions of the Republican Movement were taken elsewhere, by a bunch of ‘increasingly decrepit old men’, who though are not further described here. In any case this is the interview recorded in Tyrone on the 8th of January 2025. by Brian Nugent, [URL]http://www.orwellianireland.com[/URL] [/QUOTE]
